My family and I stopped by for their half-day swim (aka the evening session), and honestly, we had…read morea blast. Before we even got in the water, I found myself wandering through the merch shop. I have to give them credit--they actually have some pretty cool stuff. I ended up buying a sweat- and water-resistant hat with a shaka patch on it. Needless to say, I left happy before I even hit the water. The surf lagoon is the obvious star of the show. Having waves crash onto a white sandy beach is a pretty awesome experience, especially here in Arizona. There were plenty of lounge chairs, umbrellas, and shaded areas, so it never felt like we were fighting for space. The diving pool was another pleasant surprise. There are multiple platforms to jump from, and the lifeguards allow enough freedom to have fun without making the experience feel overly restrictive. If you're feeling adventurous, they also offer body surfing and surf lessons. The amenities were solid as well. The bathrooms were clean, spacious, and had plenty of changing rooms and stalls. Lockers are available to rent, which is a nice convenience if you're bringing the family. We also grabbed food while we were there. No, it isn't five-star dining, but that's not why you're here. More importantly, it was genuinely better than I expected for a water park. What impressed me most was the overall atmosphere. It was energetic without feeling chaotic. My family had an absolute blast, but somehow the park still managed to feel relaxing and comfortable--something I can't say about many water parks. We'll definitely be back.

This is such a fun place. We came on Father's Day with our friends. They rented a cabana near the…read morecliff jumping. The cabanas have a nice strong fan mister, keeps it nice and cool in the Arizona heat. The kids really loved the different levels of cliff jumping and boogie boarding in the wave pool. Every hour it's switches between boogie boarding and surfing. I would recommend bringing your own boogie board. You can rent them for $30-$35 but when we asked to rent, they were all being used. You can still be in the water while the surfers ride the waves but you have to be closer to the shallow end. I did notice that the pretend sand in the water is peeling off. It definitely needs some updating. Bring some beach toys if your kids want to play in the sand. In the afternoon the sand was too hot in the sun but once the sun set it was perfect to play in the sand. We all really enjoyed their drinks and food. The kids liked their sliders, tenders and fries. My husband and I shared their coco loco tacos. I didn't realize the loco sauce was a hot sauce, the tacos definitely have a kick. They were good but I would have maybe asked for the sauce on the side next time. They guac and chip were awesome-pomegranate , pineapple pico, and crispy carnitas. This location is about 45 min away for us but this would be a great place to cool off at after a baseball tournament at cactus yards! Looking forward to next time.
