3 reviews for Big Surf
It was alright.
But I thought Sunsplash had better more "Adult" slides.
Big Sur has mostly tubed slides. I like the open slides.
Eh, its a waterpark. Whatever.

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,

For the past several years my family has purchased season tickets to Big Surf, which also allows entrance into Sun Splash. We have frequented both parks often every summer. I love Big Surf in that you can ride the waves on a raft, and love the slides at Sun Splash...the only problem is, in the past few years, the season tickets have become so inexpensive that the parks are SOOO crowded that they are no longer enjoyable. It used to be, you could go on a week day and it wasn't so bad, now it doesn't matter when you go, both parks are packed...which tells me 1 thing...we need more water parks in the valley. Mesa just recently approved a big water park with a hotel slated to be built around the 101\202 junction. I am hoping the opening of that park will thin out some of the masses at the other two on this side of the valley.
