Things To Do
Schlitterbahn Waterpark New Braunfels
At the center of Schlitterbahn there are miles of rivers. The waterpark started on the banks of the Comal River. Tube chutes, rides, tube slides, and pools use spring fed river water that always stays a cool 72 degrees and flows right back into the river. Ride our famous black tubes for hours in the Original Section featuring the iconic castle. Have a family picnic* at one of the shaded picnic tables found all around the park. Of course rivers are only the beginning. Only a short tram ride away within the Blastenhoff and Surfenburg sections, visitors to New Braunfels can ride a continuous wave on the Boogie Bahn, fly high on the Sky Coaster, tube on the Torrent wave river, and get rocketed uphill on the Master Blaster Water Coaster.
Shanty Tubes
The famous and beautiful Guadalupe River in Canyon Lake Texas is a paradise in the middle of the Texas hill country. This little slice of paradise is a popular destination for tourists and locals alike. Shanty Tubes offers a great atmosphere on and off the river, providing you with tubing, rafting and kayaking along with a variety of rafting trips -- short, medium, and long.
Gruene Historic District
Nestled between New Braunfels and Canyon Lake, is Gruene, part of the National Register of historic places. Even with the remarkable growth of the surrounding area, the main focus of Gruene was, and continues to be, bona fide Texas. Everything from the wares they sell to the music they play speaks to preserving the authenticity of Gruene and providing its guests with an experience that has the signature seal of the Lone Star State.
Gristmill River Restaurant & Bar
A Texas Original, since 1977, Gristmill Restaurant sits beneath the water tower in Gruene Historic district. They've built their reputation by serving fresh fish, succulent chicken, thick, juicy steaks, big juicy burgers, plus a complementary array of salads, appetizers and veggies. Add to that a great wine list, fresh squeezed lime margaritas, a full bar and renowned desserts, and you have every reason to visit them for a great dining experience.
