Mimi had a Groupon for Aquarena Springs so we thought we would check it out this morning. We did not know what to expect since we had not heard anything about it in years. I remember going over 20 years ago to see the swimming mermaids and Ralph the swimming pig. But I prepared the kids that PETA probably did not let Ralph swim anymore. I was right.
When we got there, I was underwhelmed. Texas State University has bought the property and has let the amusement park areas fall into great disrepair. It was depressing. But the glass bottom boat ride redeemed the entire trip for us. It was great! And just the right level of excitement for a 3 year old and 5 year old. It was really fun. They have a small aquarium as well that was easily walked through with the kids. The grounds are really shady and pretty. It was a really fun trip overall - perfect for a hot, summer morning. Thanks for treating us, Mimi!
