Everything is bigger in Texas – especially summertime. From digging our toes in the sand on the world’s longest barrier island to splashing the day away at some of the country’s best swimming holes, we definitely know how to live it up this time of year.

With the season starting to wind down, it’s time to pack in as many last-minute activities as possible during the coming weeks. Lucky for us, an epic Texas-shaped lazy river at the Marriott Marquis Hotel in Houston just opened to the public – that’s right, you don’t even have to be an overnight guest to float! There’ll be music, food, drinks, and plain old fun in the sun every weekday from now ’till the end of summer. You can’t miss this!

The only Texas-shaped lazy river in the state is located on the 6th floor of this Houston hotel, and it's open to the public for the remainder of the summer. "Weekdays Elevated" offers seven different day passes with varying amenities for those 21 and over.
