Description

At Waco Surf, you'll start your day by floating down the mile-long lazy river, enjoying the clear blue water and soaking up the sun. After a leisurely float, make your way to The Wedge water slide, where you'll be catapulted through the air and into the refreshing water below. If you're up for some surfing, join the beginner surf sessions and learn to ride The Coaster, a gentle ground-swell wave. If wakeboarding is more your style, head over to the cable park featuring 6 towers and a variety of ramps, rails, and jumps. Finally, take a break on the manmade beach, or relax at the Surfside Shack for some food and drinks.

    I stopped by to take a tour of this place to see what it was like before I book a room or surf session. They had me sign a waiver and gave me a wristband to walk around and check it out. No charge. The place looked amazing, well kept and there was lots to do for everyone. I saw a few young children playing in the sand and a few in the the calm zone. I got to check out the flowrider visually and the lazy River. The water park was not open when we were there. We were thinking about booking this place in November 13-15 if they are still open. The staff was unsure which of the features would be open during that day and told me to call back... There is seating areas, bathrooms outside and videos playing next to the bar. The bar staff was very friendly and I ordered a pickle shot before I left. Will be back.

    ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ We recently enjoyed a work get-together while also celebrating a birthday at Waco Surf, and it was a fantastic experience from start to finish. Mike Holder and his staff were incredibly friendly, welcoming, and accommodating to our group. We stayed two nights at the Waco Surf Hotel and had an excellent experience with Sara Wiseman. She made sure our check-in process was smooth and effortless, and throughout our stay she always greeted us with a friendly hello and a smile. We live locally and have been coming to Waco Surf for years, and it just keeps getting better every time we visit. We especially loved the new standing wave attraction—it’s a great addition to an already fun destination. We also spent time floating the lazy river and appreciated the comfortable tubes, complete with headrests and drink holders, which made relaxing even more enjoyable. Whether you’re staying overnight or just visiting for the day, Waco Surf offers a great atmosphere, friendly staff, and plenty of fun. We’re already looking forward to coming back again later this summer! 🌊☀️🏄‍♀️🎉

    From the moment we arrived and checked in, we knew this was going to be a fun and memorable family getaway! My entire family had an amazing time during our day-and-a-half stay. There was something for everyone to enjoy—from the beautiful beach to the kiddie pools and family pools and the lazy river. We stayed overnight in one of the cabins, and it was absolutely wonderful. The cabin was exceptionally clean, the beds were incredibly comfortable, and we all got a great night's sleep. One of my favorite moments was sitting outside with my grandsons before bedtime, enjoying the peaceful, quiet evening. It was truly priceless. The next morning, I ordered breakfast from one of the food shops, and it was delicious! After breakfast, we got ready and enjoyed the rest of our visit before heading home. Waco Surf and Swim exceeded our expectations, and we made so many wonderful family memories. We enjoyed ourselves so much that we've already decided to make this our annual family summer vacation destination. We can't wait to come back next year! We would like to say a heartfelt thank you to Michael Holder for your incredible generosity and hospitality! We truly appreciate your kindness and for helping create such a wonderful experience for our family.

    ★★★☆☆ Waco Surf was a cool experience overall and the water park itself was fun, but for the price there just wasn’t a whole lot to do. The place looks awesome and the vibe is nice, but it felt like we ran out of activities pretty quickly. Still had a good time, just expected more for how much it costs.

    One of the best experiences thus far this summer. The friendly staff teaching my 6 year a old the fundamentals of surfing. Highly recommend if you are looking to get your kids into a new hobby or sport. They have beginners to expert level activities and courses.
