Summer is here, and it's time to travel to water parks cool fun in the sun. Good news, two of the best are here in Texas.

Thrillist.com has put together an awesome list of waterparks across the country that are fun for kids, and adults! I wasn't surprised to find these Central Texas hotspots on the list at all.

Schlitterbhan Water Park and Resort - New Braunfels

Schlitterbahn is a personal favorite of mine. I've been going to this waterpark since I was a child, and I have loved every trip. There are so many different ways to play in the water that it's fun at any age. There are super-charged water coasters on one end of the park, and lots of shade and easy river floating on the other. Both offer great ways to cool off and enjoy the sun!

Summer Fun Waterpark - Belton

This park caters to adults twice a month with 'adult night!' Located about 60 miles north of Austin in Belton, some would describe it as a cool bar where swimwear is the required dress code! It's $20 to get in, and BYOB. So like Schlitterbahn you can choose to bring your fun along with you.
