If you want to have a good time in East Texas during the summer especially if you have a family then I strongly urge you to take the fam over to Splash Kingdom water park in Canton Texas. There are some unique differences between Splash Kingdom and Six Flags water Park known as Wet n’ Wild. Six Flags most recently has filed for bankruptcy and I am not sure what the future of Wet n’ Wild will be after the restructuring of their business.
Splash Kingdom is a local Christian water park and has Christian music on their loud speakers throughout the park. Isn’t it great how a private business in Texas can do things how they want? If we were in San Fransisco with a water park that had Christian music on the loud speakers there would likely be some type of law forbidding you from being able to do that. Once on their website you will notice the lifeguards wear Christian crosss T-shirts and there are pictures of baptisms taking place at the water park. Anyone in the Tyler or East Texas area should visit and support one of the few Christian family friendly businesses in our state. Splash Kingdom is truly a remarkable company and we feel lucky to live so close to the park.
We still have quite a bit of freedoms in this wonderful state and being in this water park where the owners run their park in their own unique way in a family friendly way is something I feel proud about. There just aren’t many companies in Texas any more that show their spiritual side because lets face it many people are scared that they just wouldn’t be being politically correct. Splash Kingdom offers many different park snacks and foods or you can eat outside the park at one of their picnic tables if you want to bring your own food. For safety reasons the park will not allow you to bring coolers, glass and food items into the park. This keeps beer and alcohol out and coolers from falling over and spilling food out into the lazy river. No swet, just eat your picnic outside on a picnic table or the bed of your truck.
Splash Kingdom has several large slides and rides and one of those funnel slides where you empty out into a funnel that causes you to spin around and plop out into a pool of water. The water park also has volleyball courts and a wave pool. The water park offers a music venue where Christian bands can perform similar to Six Flags but the good thing about Splash Kingdom water park is they keep things family friendly. You can check out their website for the latest event schedules and who they have booked to play at their park.
