Waco Surf Water Park & Beach Pass Season Passes grant you access to the Wedge Water Slides, Lazy River and Beach Area as many times as you’d like this year for the water park season!
The Water Park
*The Water Park is open May 10th – September 7th, 2025.
Whether you want to fly down The Wedge Water Slides or relax in our Lazy River (rumored to be the longest in Texas…) – we got you covered with the Waco Surf Water Park Pass! With plenty of space to spread out on the sand surrounding the Wedge Water Slides to watch the action, or on the grass along the Lazy River – bring the crew and make a day of it!
If you’re looking to do it all and get access to the beach area for the same hours as the water park, upgrade to the Water Park & Beach Pass and unlock access to the additional bars on the surf side of the park!
Disclaimers:
*All guests must sign our waiver before entry to the park is permitted.
*Last entrance to the lazy river will be 1 hour prior to Water Park close.
*Last entrance over the bridge to the beach area will be 30 mins prior to Water Park close.
*BYOB is only permitted in the slide/river area and not the surf pool/beach area.
*You will need to have your VALID, PHYSICAL ID swiped on our surf/beach side in order to purchase drinks from us within that area as it is a separate liquor license and BYOB is not permitted.

Nope! You can purchase Water Park tickets on site once you arrive (they are the same price on site as they are online).
Prepurchasing your tickets and signing your DIGITAL WAIVER prior to arrival will save you time at check in though!
-
Nope, just a height limit! You must be 44” or taller to use the Wedge Water Slides. Life jackets are provided for everyone using the water slides.
There is no age restriction for the Lazy River. All children under 52″ must wear a life jacket on the Lazy River. -
All guests under the age of 16 years old need to have a legal guardian with them at all times. They will also need to have their legal guardian sign their waiver on their behalf.
Guests over the age of 16 years old are welcome to visit us, as long as they have a legal guardian sign their waiver prior to arrival.
-
Noooo 🙁
Our Activity Pass includes access to the Lazy River and the Wedge Water Slides for the day, we do not have a pass just for the Lazy River.
-
Yes, we provide tubes for the Lazy River. You may rent a cooler tube for theLazy River when you check in.
You may bring your own tube for the Lazy River, as long as it is under 55″ across.No tubes are allowed in the Wedge Water Slide pool.
-
Yes, all guests using the lazy river are required to have a tube for the duration of the float. We have personal inner tubes with headrests (and drink holders) available free of charge ready for ya!
-
We have an incredibly strict ZERO TOLERANCE policy for under age drinkers. If you or someone in your group is found to be underage drinking on Waco Surf property, the entire group will be asked to leave and escorted off premise. We take this stuff pretty seriously here…
-
Waco Surf is located in a dry county, meaning that in order to sell you delicious cocktails on the surfside of our property at the Dive Bar, and Star Bar (and the Saloon), you’ll need to have your ID swiped, sign the receipt and become part of our private club (it’s free and fast to join).
This is why the beach area is not BYOB – as this is a separate liquor license to our Water Park. Our Water Park is zoned for BYOB, meaning we can only sell beers/seltzers on that side of the park.
It’s also why drinks from the beach side cannot cross the bridge to the Water Park, and vise versa.
-
We do not have lockers (yet).
Most of our guests carry a waterproof pouch with their phone, credit card, ID and car keys around the park with them 🙂
Travel light, stay light!
-
But of course! We offer 10% off our Water Park Passes for all serving and veteran military personnel with appropriate ID.
Military discounted tickets must be purchased on site so we can verify the ID.
-
1 dog is permitted per cabin for an additional pet fee.
No dogs are allowed in the Waco Surf Hotel or Houses on property.
No dogs are surf lagoon or beach area, or waterpark activities area.
Dogs are allowed by the cable park on leash.Please be a good pet parent and pick up after your dog, we have a lot of barefooted guests…
Service animals are not allowed in any bodies of water due to health regulations. We can direct you where service animals are and are not allowed on property. If a service animal is out of control and the handler does not take effective action to control it, staff may request that the animal be removed from the premises.
Staff may ask questions per the ADA, “In situations where it is not obvious that the dog is a service animal, staff may ask only two specific questions: (1) is the dog a service animal required because of a disability? and (2) what work or task has the dog been trained to perform? Staff are not allowed to request any documentation for the dog, require that the dog demonstrate its task, or inquire about the nature of the person’s disability.”
*Emotional support animals or comfort animals are not considered service animals under the ADA, “because they have not been trained to perform a specific job or task, they do not qualify as service animals under the ADA. “
-
We no longer have a direct phone number.
It was clear that the phone wasn’t the solution as you’re always talking to the most recent guest that tried to get in touch (and the phone would ring, quite literally, nonstop). So we made the decision to move everything to digital platforms; it’s timestamped, it’s chronological, and most importantly, it’s the most fair way to handle our finite asset, waves.
You can reach us directly on our Chat Bot messenger on our website, or shoot us an email at info@wacosurf.com.

The Lazy River varies in depth throughout the loop, but is on average 42IN deep.
The Wedge Slide pool gets up to 16FT in the middle, but has a gradual slope from the entry points/stairs.
(This is why we highly recommend removing all glasses, jewelry, hats and loose items before going down the slides – they are quite hard to retrieve from the bottom of a 16FT pool…)
-
The water is filtered through a three-phase, state-of-the-art system that includes disk filtration, media filtration, and the addition of ozone and chlorine.

For all Waco Surf cancellation policies – please see link below:

Our surf lagoon, cable park and water park operate rain or shine, and all sales are final. We follow National Weather Service Guidelines and ask guests to vacate the water if there is lightning within a 10 mile radius of our facility.
For surf sessions – we then start the clock to run a lightning delay and push the whole surf schedule back. Usually the lightning will pass in 20-30 mins and we’re back to having fun. If the delay lasts more than 30 mins, we’ll need to cancel the current session, issue credits to those in that session, and move onto the next session of the day.
For Water Park and Cable Park guests – we usually try and hold out to see if the storm passes with enough time to get everyone back in the water and having fun. But in the event that the storm is too severe to allow guests back into the water, the Water Park and Cable Park will close for the day and Priority Resort Credits will be issued to those affected.
Should surf be canceled by the resort for any reason, the customer will be offered a Priority Surf Resort Credit which will expire 3 years from the issue date. Waco Surf is in no way financially responsible for any travel costs or fees acquired in the rare event that the surf must be shut down due to local or federally mandated closures, and/or unforeseen mechanical, safety or weather-related reasons.

Unfortunately, if you have items issued by BSR, it no longer exists as a company. The new ownership group took over the property in 2021, and BSR ceased to be a company. Waco Surf did have a grace period of accepting credits, passes and sessions from BSR to the new company (something that was not required) but that grace period ended in December, 2022.
BSR credits, unused sessions or passes can no longer be accepted by Waco Surf as we are a new company and have new software platforms as a result.
