Typhoon Texas, Water park in Katy, Texas, United States
Typhoon Texas is a water park in Katy, Texas, offering water slides, a wave pool, a lazy river, and several swimming areas. The park sits on a large open property and is designed primarily for families and groups of all ages.
Typhoon Texas opened in 2016 to serve the growing population of the greater Houston area, which had expanded rapidly in the years before the park was built. The location in Katy was chosen in part because of this suburban growth just west of the city.
Typhoon Texas draws on Texas themes throughout, with ride names and decorations referencing the state's landscape and natural features. Visitors notice these regional touches across the park, giving it a local feel that sets it apart from a generic water park.
The park is open seasonally, generally from spring through fall, so visiting outside of peak summer weekends tends to mean shorter waits. Arriving early in the day is a good way to get to the main rides before lines build up.
One of the slides at the park features a scoring system where riders press colored buttons on the way down to earn points. This turns the ride into a game, which makes it popular with children and adults who want to compete with each other.
