Beat the Heat in the “Hub City”

Lubbock Water Rampage
Water Rampage is all the rage this summer. With three different themed pools to choose from – Pirates Cove, Carribean Adventure and Lost World – swimmers will be endlessly entertained.

Ship’s ahoy at the Pirates Cove! This pool is the pirate captain’s dream. Enjoy a “walk down the plank” on one of the waterslides, but watch out for the dumping bucket! 

Catch some waves at the Caribbean Adventure big wave and baby pool! Movie Nights featured in the big wave pool are $12 per person and includes a free tube. Movie showings are from 7 – 10 p.m. Be sure to grab some movie treats at Captain Morgan’s Rum Point before the show begins!

If you are looking for a more relaxing experience, float down the Lazy River into the Lost World pool! This is a great option for parents who want to wind down while keeping an eye on the kiddos at The Pirate Village.

For those who are interested in hosting a party, pavilions are for rent for a birthday or celebration for $55-$75. There is a minimum of 15 pirates and discount rates are available. Cake, cupcakes and a cooler of water is allowed! For all other food-related needs, catering is available through the snack bar.            

Water Rampage is open from noon to 6 p.m. everyday until August 18. It is located at 6602 Marsha Sharp Freeway. For more information, visit lubbockwaterrampage.com.

With a 645-foot lazy river, 25-person hot tub, 10-foot drop slide, eight-lane lap pool and other amenities for students and guests, this pool is the perfect place to cool down. While there, enjoy a refreshing drink at Sam’s Poolside Cafe.
