Kids will love Gravity Park which features the World's Tallest Reverse Bungee, Go-Karts, climbing walls, frog hoppers, trampolines, and kiddie cars. The Black Dragon Pirate Ship cleverly recreates a seventh-century pirate galleon with superb entertainment onboard.
Schlitterbahn Beach Waterpark is a pleasant break from the sweltering heat. Enjoy water rides, a surfing machine, and the sand castle play space. Take the kids bird-watching on the Laguna Madre Nature Trail, which is home to more than 300 species of birds. It is close to the South Padre Island Birding & Nature Center which has a bird-watching boardwalk and a fantastic viewing tower. End the day cooling off back at your South Padre Island condo rental in complete privacy.
