They have a good-sized wave pool, although full disclosure, I haven't actually used it. I've spent my time walking around the property, taking in the scenery, and enjoying a couple of cocktails at the bar. They have a nice sandy beach area right in front of the wave pool with plenty of tables and chairs, and the bar is conveniently located close to the pool. There's also a smaller pool area if you're looking for a quieter place to relax. One of the things I really like is how many options there are throughout the property to stop and grab a bite to eat or pick up something sweet. There's always somewhere to wander off to and something to enjoy. I'm already looking forward to my next visit. It really is nice having a little beach getaway this close to home!

We had the best time at Revel Surf! It was our first time visiting and it exceeded our expectations…read morefor a beach in the desert. We bought the Sunset Beach Pass (discounted price, 6pm to close) and came on a Friday night to beat the heat while avoiding the peak temps of the day. We actually had to reschedule due to a dust storm a week before and the staff was very accommodating. There is something to do for everyone here! Surfing, boogie boarding, playing in the water, cliff jumping, and even volleyball. So much fun! The sand and beach chair area is a nice touch to give it that true beach feel. Being a Friday night, it was very busy and tons of teenagers there. The cliff jumping was packed but still very fun! Plenty of space for older and younger kids to all participate together. Lifeguards are always present. At the end of the night they stop surfing and let everyone go the whole way into the wave pool which is a blast! Probably the most fun part. Only giving it a 4 star for a few reasons. Line/wait was very long even with pre-purchased tickets. Everything is very pricey! Lifeguards need microphones or something - yelling basically was pointless. Felt crammed in the seating area and beach part. No outside beverages, water, or food is extreme for families. Overall, it was a very fun night and awesome way to beach the heat! Would come back again for sure!

The staff is very concerned with water safety and taught us some new things we did not know. My only tip is not everything is open at once- for example the bigger slides and lazy river weren't open when we were there so maybe call ahead so you know what you're getting. For us, it was okay because we were there with a toddler. Their smaller size didn't have a height requirement which was awesome!

I went to Mesquite Groves Aquatic Center with some friends on September 12, 2026, for the first…read moretime in about two years, and unfortunately, it just wasn't the same experience I remembered. The biggest difference was how much stricter everything seems to be now. Anyone under 17 has to take a swimming test just to use the diving boards, which honestly seems a little ridiculous, especially for older kids and teenagers who clearly know how to swim. Even the lazy river has become overly strict. In the past, I've always been able to enter from the exit if I was already right there, but now you absolutely MUST walk around and enter through the designated entrance. I understand having rules for safety, but some of these little things felt unnecessarily rigid and took away from the relaxed, fun atmosphere I remembered. The staff also seemed more annoyed and less friendly than during my previous visit. Nothing terrible happened, but the overall vibe was definitely different. I had such a great experience here two years ago, which is why I was excited to come back with my friends. Unfortunately, this visit just didn't live up to what I remembered. It feels like there are more rules, more restrictions, and a lot less of that easygoing, family-friendly atmosphere that made it so enjoyable before.
