Wet n’ Wild Water Park Review - Glendale Arizona

Wet n’ Wild (now Six Flags Hurricane Harbor) is the largest waterpark in Arizona and my kids and I have been a season pass holders since 2012. I have become increasingly more and more disappointed as the years go by.

πŸ“ Location: 4243 W Pinnacle Peak Rd, Glendale, AZ 85310
🎟️ Admission: Pricey—opt for a season pass for the best value

The Biggest Disappointments & Tips to Improve Your Visit

🚫 Crazy Cactus Roaring River = Not So Roaring

  • After the big remodel hype, this lazy river remains just that—lazy. No rapids, no real excitement, making it a letdown for anyone expecting a real tubing adventure.

πŸ’° Expensive Food & Parking – Bring Your Own

  • Food is overpriced, so I recommend bringing your own food in an ice chest and eating in your car. We usually get a hand stamp and drive to McDonald's (just a mile away) for a much cheaper meal.
  • Parking is $8 unless you have a Gold Season Pass (then it’s free).
  • Golfland Sunsplash Water Park offers FREE parking, making it a better value in this regard.

πŸ‘Ÿ Scorching Hot & Slippery Ground – Wear Water Shoes

  • The cement is dangerously hot and not slip-resistant. Flip-flops are dangerous, so bring slip-on water shoes with traction for safety.

Long Ride Lines & Frequent Shutdowns

  • Wait times average 45 minutes, but rides frequently shut down due to conveyor belt failures or guest injuries.
  • Twice in one day, I was near the top of a slide after a long wait, only to have the ride suddenly close.

πŸ”’ Locker Fees Are Outrageous

  • A small locker costs $8—which is steep just to store a wallet, purse, or phone.

πŸ’Έ Total Cost Adds Up Quickly

  • Expect to spend $75-$100 per person after factoring in single-day admission, food, drinks, parking, tube rentals, and locker fees.

What’s Good About Hurricane Harbor Phoenix?

Large Variety of Rides – Whether you're a thrill-seeker or a "scaredy cat", there are plenty of water attractions for all ages.
Dive-In Movies – Floating in the wave pool while watching a family-friendly movie ($6 for a tube) is a great way to end the day.
Plenty of Shade & Misting Systems – The park does have shaded areas and misters, though they aren’t always turned on when needed.
Gold Season Pass Perks – If you're going more than twice, a season pass with free parking helps offset the cost.





Wet 'n' Wild is now Six Flags Hurricane Harbor, the water park was bought by Six Flags Entertainment Corp. (NYSE: SIX) in May 2018.
