Shankz has been operating at its current location in The Woodlands since 2006, making it a nearly 20-year-old independent family entertainment establishment
Features an 18-hole indoor black light mini golf course, which reviewers specifically praise as 'the best 18 hole indoor mini golf course hands down'

Operates year-round with heated pools, making it accessible during winter months in Texas
Access to the waterpark is restricted to hotel guests only, with a maximum of 4 wristbands provided per room at check-in

Features a 500-foot lazy river, making it a resort-style water park experience in a community pool setting
Includes a two-story flume slide with a unique tube system that is free to use but limited in quantity, requiring guests to retrieve tubes from under the slide after other visitors finish

The park offers rentable pavilion space for events, with a pricing structure that includes 1 hour of use plus 1 hour for cleanup between bookings

Is specifically designed with superior accessibility for children with physical disabilities compared to other venues in the Houston area, attributed to its smaller, more manageable size
