SoCal water parks overview
If you love water parks, you'll love the Southern California water parks! You'll find giant water parks here, with all the features you've come to expect from full-service water parks. The water parks mentioned on this page are Southern California's largest. And, although they each give their water slides and attractions different names, you'll find the following features at each one--- 1.) A Wave Pool: You'll be able to swim in a gigantic-sized pool that, at intervals, turns on the "ocean waves!" 2.) A Lazy River: You'll be able to hop aboard an inner tube, lay back, and relax as you float gently around in an oval-shaped path kickin' it with your friends. 3.) Rafting Slides: These tall slides require a raft for zooming down...and the rafts hold several people. (Riding with more people gives you more weight than riding solo...and therefore, more ZOOM power.) Water Play area: When you're tired of swimming and sliding, why not pick a fight? A WATER fight, that is! Southern California's water parks feature water play areas where you can generally shoot your friends with a water gun...or simply stand under a torrent of water and get showered! 6.) Baby, toddler, and preschooler areas: All the major water parks have waveless pools, gentle fountains, and miniature slides made with the younger set in mind. 7.) Snack bars, gift shops, locker rooms: All of SoCal's major water parks keep your tummy full and your shopping cravings satisfied. Changing rooms and showers are always available; and lockers are, too (for an extra fee.) Southern California Water Parks -- Raging Waters in San Dimas (LA County)
