It is hot in Texas. Like triple digit hot some days. I feel like I have constant boob sweat. So everyone is always looking for ways to cool down.
We have Aquatica nearby, which is a fantastic water park. But it can get horribly crowded during the day to the point where it can get unpleasant. To the point where I'll take the boob sweat over being around swarms of humans.
Cue AquaGlow--it's an evening event at Aquatica that happens most nights until August 2nd from 8 PM-10. With an AquaGlow ticket, you can show up as early as 6.
It is a separate ticket, but only limited amounts can be purchased, so AquaGlow will never be overly crowded.
Natalie is a fan of the stingrays, so we had to go over and say hello when we first arrived:
The foam party was going strong. We danced to the catchy music as the foam floated around us:

As soon as the sun goes down, the vibe changes, and the neon lights glow. We had to visit the lazy river AKA Loggerhead Lane.

All the thrill rides are open as well. The wait times are short, which is another benefit of AquaGlow. During the day Natalie has waited up to an hour to go down a slide. For AquaGlow she waited 5 minutes.
Yes, there is plenty of food and drinks for sale--they have fun glowing beverages!
The wave pool is always a hit, but warning, those waves are no joke.

Natalie loved the waves. I stayed back because I was worried my phone would be knocked from my hands and it's already on its last leg. (It's a 12.)

We ended up having the best time. The hours flew by.

Looks like Natalie had a great time, as did you! I know I will be visiting San Antonio again (fell in love with it when I visited earlier this year, it was too short a trip so will come again and keep these places in mind that you have shared)
ReplyDeleteThis spot looks like such a fun time and I like the glowing theme they have going with everything. The foam area was cool for sure and ,looks like she had a blast! I would love to check it out ;)

ReplyDeleteThis looks like so much fun, and perfect for summer. AquaGlow is new to me, but sounds super helpful!
ReplyDeleteThe limited ticket cap is honestly the smartest thing about this concept! An evening water park with short ride lines, neon lights, and a foam party sounds so much better than fighting summer crowds during the day.
ReplyDeleteAquatica sounds like a great time! I LOVE the limited ticket cap to keep the crowds down. Such a great idea for ensuring visitors have a great time.

ReplyDeleteOMG, this looks like an absolute blast! AquaGlow seems like the perfect way to enjoy a water park during those scorching summer days without dealing with the huge daytime crowds. The glowing lights, foam party, short ride lines, and evening atmosphere make it look like a completely different experience. I can definitely see why Natalie had such a great time, especially with the stingrays and wave pool.
ReplyDeleteThe AquaGlow sounds like a lot of fun. I was in my 30s when I went to a foam party they are a lot of fun.
ReplyDeleteYou guys look so happy and really enjoyed your time there. The place is for any age and doesn’t restrict ages because all of you can enjoy.
ReplyDeleteThis sounds like a better option to the crowded daily venture. The foam pool looked like a super fun one to try. Elizabeth F
ReplyDeleteWe went to Aquatica several years ago and it was a ton of fun. But we didn’t spend the whole day there because we wanted to see the attractions at Sea World too. I’d love to go to the neon nights too.
ReplyDeleteThe foam party looks so fun! It’s been years since I’ve been to one, so this brought back memories. It’s also amazing that you can get that close to the stingrays. Such a fun and memorable experience.
