SeaWorld San Antonio
A curious combination of marine mammals and roller coasters, SeaWorld San Antonio is home to both Shamu the killer whale and ‘Great White', an inverted ‘heels-over-head’ roller coaster. Numerous opportunities arise to get wet – which is a welcome relief during the hot summer months – including the Shamu show, three different water rides, and the Lost Lagoon Waterpark, which is included in your admission. Animal feedings and shows take place at scheduled times, so plan your day to make sure you don’t miss out. Check the website for behind-the-scenes tours; parking is $15.

Fiesta Texas
This popular theme park has plenty of rides that you must be ‘this tall’ to ride, for grown-ups to lose their lunch over. There are more than 25 kids’ rides for the vertically challenged, as well as swimming pools and water rides over in the White Water Bay area (open May to September). The setting – against a limestone quarry that looks similar to the Arizona desert – is dramatic, and there’s plenty of music and shows. Parking is $15.
