About this tour
Just north of Houston, a onetime patch of piney woods off Highway 242 has grown into Grand Texas — a sprawling family-fun district anchored by one of the newest waterparks in the state. This half-day loop is built for kids and the grown-ups who chase them: a wave pool and the biggest lazy river in the Houston area, a towering interactive splash structure bristling with slides and buckets, an adventure park with zip lines and an alligator farm, and a go-kart track next door for anyone who still has energy to burn. Everything sits within a few minutes' drive of the next stop, so you can chase the sun, dry off, and keep the day rolling. Pack sunscreen, water shoes, and a change of clothes — this is a get-wet, get-loud kind of tour.
