    this was the 5th life guard to come up and be served even with a line of over 10-15 people waiting for their food.

    we have been waiting in line for almost 30 minutes waiting for our food. not only that but all these lifeguard who did not wait in line have all walked up to the window and picked up their food and have all been served first. and they did not have any pizzas and did not post it outside. i just do not understand prioritizing people that they are paying and not the people that have literally paid and waited in the long lines. Also to add that after waiting in line for the 30 minutes and we walked up to ask what was going on we were greeted with being told they lost our order and that they would add it back into the queue but not prioritize it even though it was their fault that lost it. another thing is in their lazy river there are almost no floaties and when you grab a floaty life guard start yelling at you for any little thing you do. we came here expecting a nice day away from the sun and honestly it is just a poop show. it's like the entire park is being ran by 5 year olds.

    My kids had a great time here! There is a Lazy River, 3 big water slides, a water park area, and kids pool and a big kid pool! My kids want to go back. They are ages 3 and 11. They do let some food in. The price is good for what they offer. I didn't try their food. The water didn't seem dirty to me and the entire area seemed clean! I will be going back :)

    Hiya B.U.M.S.,…read more Another hot day in San Diego means time for the beach, the lake, or staying inside with the AC on full blast. Or, in our case, we chose to wrap up the summer fun with something simple, nice, and close to home--so we headed to The Wave Waterpark in Vista. This local staple has been around since before I can remember, and returning as an adult brings back a wave of nostalgia. We walked right in without any hassle, and the restrooms and showers near the entrance were fairly clean and convenient. We reserved a private cabana, which I highly recommend for a cool, hassle-free home base during a long day in the sun. There are four water slides and all of them are a blast, featuring clear intensity ratings on the signage so you know what you're getting into before heading up. My whole family loved every slide, though surprisingly, my son said his absolute favorite spot was simply splashing around in the main pool. While slide wait times were smooth and efficient, the line to snag a free single tube for the lazy river can get jammed. We rented a double tube and a single tube directly, which saved us a ton of extra waiting. Standard theme park fare like pizza and nachos are available, but the real winning treats to beat the heat were the Dippin' Dots and root beer floats. Overall, it's a fantastic, family-friendly spot to cool down and pack in some quick summer fun. Planning a trip to the wave? DM us @advntrbums or @advntrbums_mb to find out which cabana locations give you the best shade and prime view of the park.

    Sep '26: Amazing improvement from last yr…read more + Cheap. Just $30 for 4hr (3-7pm) on a weekday. + Line waits mostly short. - Water guns should be standard issue right at the park entrance. - Need more shade right before the bag check lines. We're tryna sign the waivers via the big QR code and wanna stand to the side to not block the entrance, but there's no shade there in the glistening hot sun. + Entering parking at 3pm was also fast and easy. + The staff at each ride entrance worked diligently and efficiently to evenly distribute passenger weights for every takeoff. - The waiver asked too much. You don't needa know how many pets I have! (jklol) Aug '25: + Refreshing place to beat the summer heat with friends and family. + Wide variety of aquatic attractions, including water slides, lazy river, wave pool, and the infamous Boomerango. Very fun! - Excessively long, boring wait lines. 45min on a weekday... - Exorbitant, unhealthy food and drink options at the Pacific Grille food court. . Tip: coordinate in your party who orders fries at this food court, and share with the rest of your party. Otherwise, if everyone orders fries, you'll have so many leftover fries to throw away. - That food court needs more shaded seating. + Glad not ALL toys are banned from water parks. ;) - We always enjoy using pool tubes in the Lazy River, but man they need a lot more. No matter, we still turned it into the Crazy River. :D - They removed pool tubes from the Wave Pool. (Fortunately we found other ways to turn it into the Rave Pool. }:) - Restrooms need more stalls. - Expensive $25 slow, crowded parking when it could just be $5, + but the free farther parking lot is just a 5min walk away. ;)

    Great place to take small kids especially toddlers. Food was good. Parking was free and lots of it…read more Tickets are cheap. Not too many people. Only negative they need more floating donuts to float on the river or at least allow us to bring our own floating donuts.

    What exactly am I paying for?…read more Seriously. I purchased a membership for lap swimming, but the reality is that members are constantly competing for access to THREE lanes. Not an entire pool. Three lanes. And apparently the expectation is that up to FOUR adults can share a single lane. Four. There was a day when a third person joined my lane and that was RIDICULOUS. Four people sharing one lap lane is not a quality swimming experience. It's overcrowding disguised as a membership benefit. Then there are the limited hours. Which I was initially fine with until everything else. There are the swim lessons and you will be removed from a lane if the instructor needs the lane you are already in. Then there is the jacuzzi, which seems to spend more time closed than open. I swim three times a week and I honestly can't remember the last time it was available. At this point, why advertise it as an amenity at all? And today I find... the facility is closed Friday, Saturday, and Sunday for a swim meet. The only notice given was a piece of paper taped to the door. A piece of paper. In 2026. Members provide phone numbers and email addresses when signing up. Why collect that information if you're not going to communicate closures that eliminate nearly half a week's worth of access? No email. No text. No notification. Just drive over and find out when you get there. The most frustrating part is that none of these issues exist by themselves. It's the combination of all of them. Limited hours. Limited lanes. Overcrowded lanes. Frequent jacuzzi closures. Priority given elsewhere. Unexpected facility closures. Poor communication. Yet the membership price suggests you're paying for a premium aquatic facility. You're not. For less money, I can join a gym with a lap pool, a functioning jacuzzi, longer operating hours, fitness equipment, and significantly better availability. City of La Mirada wants to charge premium membership fees while delivering a consistently limited experience. The entire operation feels incredibly cheap. Cheap communication. Cheap availability. Cheap member accommodations. But somehow not cheap membership prices. If members are expected to share three overcrowded lanes, lose access for entire weekends, receive no meaningful communication, and watch amenities remain closed for weeks at a time, then management needs to answer a very simple question: What exactly are we paying for?
