    GOOD. CLEAN. FUN

    Get your summer fun fix right at Typhoon Texas Water Park! The Katy park covers 45 acres and 16 rides: 1.3 miles of water slides, a children’s play area, a 25,000-square-foot wave pool, and of course — a relaxing lazy river. Visitors also have a wide selection of Texas-style dining options.

    The water park’s 16 rides all take on a unique Texas flair. From the Texas Twister and its appropriately sized boomerang wall to the Duelin’ Daltons 7-story free-fall drop, adventure seekers will not be disappointed. The Snake Pit consists of four “heart-stopping slides” – the Rattler, Copperhead, Water Moccasin and an all-new slide boarding experience. The board experience uses a hi-tech ride vehicle with an embedded game controller to create a futuristic video game integrated waterslide.

    Once you’ve worked up an appetite, stop by one of 7 different dining options around the park. Try The River Grill for burgers, dogs, and sandwiches, Smokin’ BBQ for Texas-style meat plates, the Taqueria for your fill of Tex Mex, Sweet Tooth for funnel cakes, soda floats, and ice cream, Rainbow Ice, or Ray’s Pizza and Italian Ice House.

    Don’t miss out on great local live music and every weekend. Texas Typhoon also offers Thursday night splash cinema. Season passes to the park are available online.

    There is no better way to beat the Texas summer heat than to cool off in the pool. Slide down 33 different water slides, lounge in the lazy river, and grab a bite while spending quality time with friends and family. We offer one-day admission tickets as well as season passes. Enjoy live entertainment from Tidal Wave Bay during our Summer Concert Series. There is always something exciting happening at Typhoon Texas. We have entertainment and attractions for children and adults of all ages.

    The Lone Star Flight Museum, located in Houston, Texas, is an aerospace museum that displays more than 24 historically significant aircraft, and many artifacts related to the history of flight. Located at Ellington Airport, the museum is housed on about 100,000 ft2 (10,000 m2) of property, including its airport ramp.

    History

    The museum began as a private collection of historic aircraft in 1985. By 1990, that collection had grown enough that its owner decided to place them on public display. The Lone Star Flight Museum, a non-profit organization funded entirely through private donations, was formed for that purpose.

    Exhibits

    The museum has featured exhibits on the September 11th attacks and Women Airforce Service Pilots.

    Texas Aviation Hall of Fame

    The Texas Aviation Hall of Fame, located within the museum, honors the contributions of residents or natives of Texas to aviation and spaceflight. Inductees include Howard Hughes, Gordon Bethune, Emma Carter Browning, Alan Bean, Senator Lloyd Bentsen, Azellia White, and President George H. W. Bush.

    Airshows

    The museum’s collection often participates in airshows across the country. As of 2005, the museum’s aircraft annually log more than 40,000 miles (60,000 km) of cross-country flying to various air demonstrations.
