Beat the heat at Six Flags Hurricane Harbor Splashtown, where you can enjoy fun-filled, pulse-pounding, and exhilarating thrill rides for all ages. Have you ever wondered what it feels like to be in the middle of a tornado? Take on the Tornado, one of the most popular attractions, which shoots riders down a 132-foot-long tunnel and blasts them into a giant funnel. Check out the Stingray Racer, where six waterslide lanes stand five stories tall, propelling riders down a twisting and turning track. The  Thunder Run, where the inline tube slide picks up speed at every twist and turn, and the many other attractions for the entire family.

Have the time of your life as you spend the evening at Houston’s happy place, where you can gather around and enjoy all the socializing and good feels at Electric Feelgood, where the décor is a throwback to the 90s style with neon signs, geometric paintings, and signs with smiley faces. Chill under the neon lights, where the experience is what you make it. Take a selfie that is Instagram-ready with one click, or sit on the patio and order from the drink menu that offers cocktails that are just as fun as the décor with quirky ingredients and catchy names. Hungry from all the fun you're having? Order from the food menu that offers flatbreads, salads, spiced red potatoes, and much more.
