As friends and families look ahead this summer to reschedule missed celebrations and travel, we are excited to announce plans for our 17th annual SummerFest event featuring a summer of MORE. There will be more fun, more relaxation, more memories, and more experiences to share at our world-class property featuring a 10-acre outdoor water park, multiple sparkling pools, and four-and-a-half acres of sprawling indoor gardens.
From May 21 through September 6, 2021, our highly-anticipated summer program will combine the excitement of immersive aquatic experiences with a delicious line-up of culinary and beverage offerings, soothing spa treatments, and an itinerary full of themed programming inclusive of live entertainment, and family-friendly shows and activities.
A summertime must, our 10-acre outdoor water park, Paradise Springs, offers a relaxing 600-foot-long lazy river, 25-foot-long zip-line, four winding waterslides, and a giant water treehouse featuring a Texas-sized water bucket dumping 1,500 gallons of water every two minutes. Exclusive poolside cabanas available for rent provide extra shade, comfortable lounge seating, refrigerators, televisions, and a designated pool server. In addition to the water park, the resort also features a recently renovated outdoor pool with a hot tub as well as an indoor lap pool.
Keeping the kids entertained, this year’s itinerary of activities & events will feature a brand-new Pirate & Princess theme with highlights including: The Princess’s Shiny Stash Treasure Hunt; Pirates & Princess Art Studio; Ahoy, Matey! Animal Encounters; Pirate Dance Party; and Pirate & Princess Academy. Families will also enjoy creative décor displayed throughout the vast resort grounds including a massive 25-foot tall pirate ship.
The resort’s multiple award-winning restaurants will feature food and beverage specials including whiskey tastings, margarita flights, and upscale holiday brunches. Unique culinary programs will include a junior chef’s camp for kids as well as oyster and sparkling wine pairings for adults. And resort visitors who have a “burger bucket list” won’t want to miss conquering the sports bar’s Texas-sized Mega Burger – one of the largest in the state!
