About
Festive water park with a lazy river, slides and a climbing wall.
Specific pool temperatures for Chapoteo Water Park are not publicly advertised. As a typical outdoor water park in a hot climate like El Paso, the pools are generally not heated and are designed to offer a refreshing and cool experience from the summer heat, with temperatures largely reflecting ambient conditions and constant water circulation.
What are people saying (AI review summary)? Chapoteo Water Park consistently receives high praise for its exceptional cleanliness, well-maintained facilities, and remarkably friendly, helpful, and attentive staff across all areas, including lifeguards and concession workers. Visitors appreciate the clean bathrooms, chilled water stations, and attractions such as a kids' area, lazy river, and a large general-purpose pool, all contributing to a fun and refreshing experience. However, several significant concerns were raised regarding pricing and park policies. Complaints include a lack of sufficient free shaded areas, with premium shade costing $25, and a $25 fee for bringing in outside water or ice chests. The park's strict policy against outside food and drink, enforced by thorough bag searches, was seen as forcing additional spending on concessions, which disproportionately affects lower-income and larger families. While some found the admission price reasonable, others deemed it too high. Additionally, the mandatory life vest rule for children 42 inches and under, regardless of their swimming ability, was criticized for limiting enjoyment for skilled young swimmers. Despite these drawbacks, the park is generally considered a very nice and well-run facility.

Not enough shade for everyone that can not pay the $25 dollar fee for the shaded area. The water area was good. But with no shade we all left with severe sunburn to our faces and shoulders, even with sunblock on. I understand they have to make money but $25 for shade and $25 in order to bring your own water or ice chest. Seems a little too much.

A Splashing Good Time at Chapoteo Water Park! My recent visit to Chapoteo Water Park was absolutely fantastic, and I can't recommend it enough for a fun-filled day out! From the moment we arrived, we were impressed by how incredibly clean and well-maintained the entire park was. It's clear that the staff takes great pride in keeping everything spotless, which really enhanced our comfort and enjoyment. Beyond the sparkling facilities, the staff truly stood out. Every single team member we encountered, from the front gate to the lifeguards and concession workers, was exceptionally friendly, helpful, and had a genuine smile. They were attentive, quick to assist, and made us feel incredibly welcome throughout our visit. Their positive attitudes really added to the joyful atmosphere of the park. Whether you're looking to cool off on a hot day or just have some family fun, Chapoteo Water Park delivers on all fronts. The combination of its pristine environment and wonderful, friendly staff makes it a must-visit destination!

The staff and lifeguards are EXCELLENT! This park is clean, well run and worth it. We got there at opening , brought a cooler, and spent the day there. The bathrooms are clean and have showers as well as spin machines to drain your suits. The water stations are chilled and easy to use. There’s a tiny kids area and a lazy river. It’s very cooling and refreshing here!

I think the price point is nice for those 48 inches or taller. The park is clean well kept and is staffed well (which you don’t often see). The staff is also very nice. I have one complaint which is the reason for my low rating. I wanted to be clear about this because this next part might not matter to others. My complaint is the arbitrary rule of anyone 42 inches or under has to wear a life vest. Life vests are often a great safety device for those that are non swimmers/poor swimmers/less confident swimmers. I was a lifeguard myself for years. I have been apart of intervention in plenty of over 42 inch swimmers at risk of drowning. So 42 inches is nothing more than theater safety. It would be nice if they had a risk of swim assessment that my daughter could have taken. They have enough staff to handle these requests. My daughter is a small almost 6 year old who has completed infant survival and invited to be on a competition swim team. She couldn’t use all of the features at the park to her full enjoyment. It would have been nice if she could have at least used the pool without a life vest. For a kid that can swim bouncing around in the pool is not quite as exciting. She enjoyed the tiny slide they had for her height. She has been on bigger ones but stated she had fun. We were only in town for the week, but I wouldn’t be a repeat customer.

My wife and I went there with two grand kids for about 5 hours. They charge $12/adult and $10 per child ($44 total). Although it did not "break the bank", I can imagine there are many families who cannot afford this. When you arrive they thoroughly search bags and purses-- ensuring nobody brings in food or drink (including water bottles). They had a stash of confiscated water bottles and drinks next to the guy searching our bag. This, of course means people will be spending another $20-40 on drink and food/snacks. Again, that really penalizes lower income families-- especially larger families. The facility itself is very nice-- with tables with large umbrellas and beach chaises. I was surprised to find out that their large private lounging areas rent for $110 for the day!! In conclusion, this is a very nice water park-- in very good condition. There is an area for toddlers, younger kids, a small "flowing river", and a large general purpose pool. We enjoyed our time there, but personally think it is too pricey for many El Pasoans. Maybe they could consider promotions to discount the entry price?
