Waco Surf is located in a dry county, which means:

• Surf / Beach side (Dive Bar, Star Bar, Saloon):
  • No BYOB.
  • To buy cocktails and drinks from us, you’ll need to have your valid physical ID swiped and quickly join our private club (it’s free and takes just a minute).
    
• Water Park side (slides & Lazy River):
  • BYOB is allowed for beer and seltzers only (no glass).
  • We can only sell beers/seltzers on this side due to licensing.
    
• Crossing between areas:
  • Drinks from the beach/surf side cannot cross the bridge to the Water Park, and vice versa.

Most guests bring a waterproof pouch for phone, ID, card, and keys. Travel light!

Yes. We offer 10% off Water Park Passes for active and veteran military with valid ID.

These tickets must be purchased on site.

No dogs are allowed in the water park, surf lagoon, or beach areas.

Dogs are allowed on leash near Lemur Lagoon and in cabins (1 dog per cabin, pet fee applies). No dogs in hotel rooms or houses.

• Service animals are permitted in most public areas of the property, but not in any bodies of water due to health regulations.
• Staff may ask the two ADA-approved questions:
  1. Is the dog a service animal required because of a disability?
  2. What work or task has the dog been trained to perform?
• Staff cannot ask for documentation, require the dog to demonstrate its task, or ask about the person’s disability.
• Emotional support or comfort animals are not considered service animals under the ADA and are subject to the regular pet rules.
