Lubbock Water Rampage is the best spot to go to during the summer heat so look no further for a family-friendly location to cool off and relax. Here is all the information you might need to know before you come:
History
Lubbock Water Rampage opened in the year 1985 and has been in Lubbock, Tx for 35 years and counting. While the park has always been a fun place to visit over the summer, the park has changed owners over the years.
In May 2008, Texas Water Rampage went out of business and closed after 22 years due to a lack of funds needed for renovation as well as a decline in attendance. In 2009, the park went under new ownership and came back after it was renamed as Lubbock Water Rampage. The newly renamed park officially re-opened on June 1, 2009, for the summer season. On December 8, 2010, Lubbock Water Rampage went to auction.
Today, Lubbock Water Rampage is currently owned by the business Appaloosa Development. There is no recent information that suggests the ownership of Lubbock Water Rampage will change anytime soon. It looks like Lubbock Water Park will stay open for many years to come.
Admission
Lubbock Water Rampage is open daily during the summer season from 12 – 6 pm. The admission price is $25 per person and drops to $19 per person after 4 pm. Ticket prices are the same for kids and adults. Prices also include taxes and tubes. Season passes are also available to purchase.
