Big Surf has been the Valley's premiere water park for years. I know I went here when I was a kid (I won't admit to how long ago THAT was...) Long before there were water slides, the wave pool was the place to be in the summer. They call it Waikiki Beach, although I see no real resemblance to Hawaii but water. There used to be a true sandy beach here which was fun, but no more.
Besides the wave pool, there are several themed areas, one with very tame water features geared towards the littlest kids, others for kids of all ages, and then the 15 Main Event water slides. The Tahitian Twisters are great water slides for younger kids (or sissy Moms) who aren't quite ready for the wild slides at Hurricane Falls.
You can purchase a season pass, good for admission to any of these three parks all year long. If you intend to go several times per year,
