There’s no denying it: August in Texas is brutal. Sometimes the only way to survive the heat is to escape the concrete jungle and find a pool that serves adult-friendly drinks.

Last week in Best of BubbleLife, we asked our readers to vote for the best place to beat the heat. Aside from backyard pools, which gained a surprising number of votes, here are the local winners:

Go To Grapevine

In this city, two waterparks tied for the winner, meaning Grapevine must be an aquatic wonderland. Dove Waterpark offers a climbing wall and lily pad walk, among other facilities. At Great Wolf Lodge, you’ll find an 80,000 square foot waterpark to entertain the entire family.

Visit The Waters In Lake Highlands

In addition to White Rock Lake, this area offers KayCee Club, a renowned private pool club open from Memorial Day through Labor Day. At KayCee Club, members can join the swim team or book affordable pool parties.

Escape To McKinney

You don’t have to travel far to feel the sand between your toes. As the only beach club and swim lagoon in North Texas, the Beach Club at Stonebridge provides fun for toddlers and adults alike.
