Aloha, friends! I am still riding the wave of joy after the absolute BEST family afternoon at Hawaiian Falls Roanoke, and I can’t wait to share the fun with you. This place has been a favorite of ours for years—it’s like a little slice of tropical paradise right here in Texas—and now, with their brand-new 2025 attraction, the Wahoo Wave, it's even better than ever.
As a mom of children with large age gaps, I want to start off by sharing that when I ask my oldest son about some of his favorite memories, Hawaiian Falls in Roanoke is at the top of his list. He still remembers some of the music they played when he was little, all of the slides, and how much he loved the soda wristband and pizza. He also smiles when he talks about parking and how sometimes a golf cart would take us right to the entrance—such a small touch, but it made him feel like a VIP. He even had a little song he made up about Hawaiian Falls that we’d sing in the car on the way to the park. And of course, he definitely remembers the thrill of standing under that giant tipping water bucket in the center of the park, waiting for it to come crashing down! Even now, those memories bring him joy. Now that he's older, I try to make sure I take the best of his childhood and create similar magical moments with my youngest.
In today's post, I want to tell you more about their latest ride for 2025 -- the Wahoo Wave -- which has just the right splash of thrill for little thrill seekers! New for 2025, Wahoo Wave is the water slide your junior thrill seekers have been waiting for! It's bright, exciting, and the perfect balance of "Wheee!" and "Whoa!"—especially for kids like my second grader, who’s grown into just the right age for some bolder fun. He LOVED it. Seriously, the look on his face after the final splash was priceless. He shouted "Wahoo!" and begged to go again (and again... and again).
This ocean wave-inspired ride is designed with families in mind—it's thrilling but not too intense, and it finishes with a refreshing splash that had all of us laughing and smiling from ear to ear. If you’re looking for a way to beat the Texas heat and make happy childhood memories, this is it.
Our family spent the whole afternoon soaking up sunshine and happiness. I mean it when I say—my Texas heart couldn’t imagine a better way to enjoy a gorgeous day! From the peaceful lazy river (which we floated through multiple times!) to the giant wave pool, central slide area with the iconic tipping buckets, and all the giggle-worthy spray features… Hawaiian Falls is a family fun dream come true.
It’s clean, safe, and super family-friendly with tons of shaded areas and places to relax in between splash sessions. Plus, the vibe is just so cheerful—everyone’s happy, music is playing, and the palm trees make you feel like you’re on vacation, even if you're just a short drive from home.
A Staff That Shines as Bright as the Sun
Another thing I absolutely love about Hawaiian Falls is the people. You can tell the employees truly care about making each guest’s visit special. There’s a warmth and positivity in the air, and it’s clear their mission is all about creating joy, laughter, and those happy childhood memories we’ll cherish forever.
Why We Love Hawaiian Falls Roanoke (And Why You Will Too!)
Here’s the icing on the shaved ice: Hawaiian Falls is totally affordable. Parking? Free. They offer daily tickets and season passes, and while we think the season pass is the way to go (because trust me, you’ll want to go back), the day pass is a great option if you live a little farther away. It’s absolutely worth the drive.
Make a day of it—enjoy lunch or some fun snacks, bring your swimsuits, and dive into a world of family fun. Whether you're a wave pool wader or a waterslide warrior, there’s something for every age and comfort level. You don’t need a plane ticket to Hawaii—just a sunny day and a plan to visit Hawaiian Falls Roanoke.
Come Make a Splash and a Memory
Pack up the sunscreen, grab your crew, and get ready to shout Wahoo! with the newest ride and all your favorite classics. It’s time to create the kind of memories your kids will smile about for years—and maybe even beg to recreate next weekend.
