2015 Schlitterbahn New Braunfels Discounts

We may be stuck in the middle of a rainy spell, but you know it can’t last forever — and as soon as the sun comes back, so will the heat! That can mean only one thing: It’s time for you and your family to gear up for water park season!

Schlitterbahn Deals DiscountsSchlitterbahn New Braunfels is one of Central Texans’ favorite spots to cool down, splash around and have a fantastic time. You can get a jump on both the crowds and the admission price by taking advantage of special deals and discount days.

Schlitterbahn New Braunfels Summer Fun Packs

Simon Summer Fun Packs — Each Fun Pack costs $85, and contains two Schlitterbahn Waterpark tickets (valid through Sept. 2, 2015), a $25 Simon Giftcard, and a tote bag filled with summer goodies like sunscreen, lip balm, a beach ball and a beach pail. The Fun Packs are available now, while supplies last, at Simon Guest Services in the following Simon malls:

And San Marcos Premium Outlets will start selling the packs in a week or two:

Note that it’s a good idea to call Guest Services before heading out to make sure Fun Packs are still available, as they tend to sell out quickly.
