This Iconic Texas-Shaped Pool Should be on Your Bucket List

One thing you can never doubt about Texas is its state pride. Texans love their state and will show it in any way they can think of, even in the form of a pool.

That’s right, there is a massive Texas-shaped pool located in Houston, and it is an absolute must-see.

Located at the Marriott Marquis Houston, this pool is impressive. The pool almost looks more like a lazy river in the way it was designed. There is a center platform shaped like the state of Texas, and the pool frames this platform, following the shape.

There are multiple entry points along the pool, so whether you want to hang out in the gulf, along West Texas, in the panhandle, or any other spot, you can.

The center platform also acts as a place to lounge by the water with both sunny and shaded options. It looks like there are also innertubes available if you’d like to float along rather than swim.

Next to the Texas pool, there is an infinity edge pool in a standard shape where you can swim and enjoy the views as it looks over Houston.

This definitely seems like a great summer bucket list item for those looking to travel around Texas. There are so many amazing parts of Texas to visit, and Houston has some great offerings. If you keep scrolling, you can take a look at the pool during the day, at night, up close, and far away, and see what your experience there might look like.
