Escape the Houston Heat

Want to escape Houston's heat and still have some enjoyable family time?

Noah’s Ark Pool is open through September and is a creative way to swim. My daughter loved the water slides that are decorated with rainbows, animals and an ark, tying into the Biblical story. There are also several fountains that squirt water so the kids can dance in the water streams. There's also a larger pool for regular swimming. Lifeguards patrol all pools. It's small enough to allow parents to manage young swimmers, but still offers plenty to do. Arrive early to avoid summer camps that typically visit around 1 pm.
