Grizzly River Run is one of my favorite ride's in Disney's California Adventure. I love water rides. Grizzly River Run is an whitewater rafting ride located in the Disney California Adventure Park's Grizzly Peak area of the Disneyland Resort. When Disney California Adventure opened in 2001, Grizzly River Run was also one of the original rides! Grizzly River Run is themed like a giant, bear shaped mountain called Grizzly Peak that is inspired by California's state and national parks and represents the natural beauty of the forest in Northern California, featuring pine tree stands, rocky mountains, and the sound of running water. You board large round rafts that can be used for groups of up to eight people, and as they float through an area with strong currents on the ride! The rafts twist and turn in unpredictable directions. During this twisting journey, the rafts send you floating through waters, mist filled caves, and sometimes sudden drop offs. I did speak with the cast member and the large drop is about as large as the Pirates of the Caribbean. The moment when the raft plunges into the water during the latter part of the trip is fun, especially due to the amount of splashing the raft receives from the water, which often results in some of the riders getting wet. Sometimes I get drenched and other times, I barely get wet. Due to the design of the raft, which the raft rotates, you'll have a unique ride experience each time you ride Grizzly River Run! The ride is different during the day and night. During the evening hours you can see all of the beautiful Disney California Adventure lights which is stunning! It's great to ride this ride at night during the summer hours! This is a must ride if you're visiting during the summer. If you don't like being cold though, I'd recommend avoiding this one during the fall and early spring months. read more

A water ride that isnt always broken down and still has a reason drop?! Located inside California Adventures, a wet ride for sure! Throughout the day, this either had no wait or very low wait times. If it is already sprinkling, why not get a little but more wet?! It is better to go with more people, 2 or 3 and it doesnt spin or turn as much as 4+ people! Great views before and after you get off the rides if you are waiting for family or friends, they have a walkway that heads down right to the 21' foot drop. Wanna get wet without going on the ride? Go stand there! See pictures, the ground was wet - before it started to sprinkle. read more

Water rides are cool and Grizzly River Run is a blast. Try riding it at night! This is a fun treat! There's small drops, and lots of spinning! I have seen people use ponchos on this ride but I like getting wet so I do not mind. I also plan accordingly. I do like to ride this toward the end of my visit so I do not have to walk around all wet. I do like that there's lockers to help with the extra change of clothes or items that you will want after this ride. When you ride this you are having fun on a thrilling whitewater raft down a roaring California river in the mountains. The giant bear's face is one of my favorite parts of this ride. I did get yelled at once by a worker because I was trying to get out once this ride was over so make sure you listen to when is the best time to exit the ride once it is done so you can avoid getting yelled at. I get it, safety first but the guy didn't have to yell. Overall, I highly recommend you check out this fun ride! read more

Grizzly River Run at Disney California Adventure is one of the most impressively themed river rapids rides I've ever experienced. Even though it's currently closed for refurbishment, just walking by the area is a reminder of how epic the scenery and vistas really are. The theming is so immersive that it genuinely feels like you've wandered into a forest instead of a theme park. This is easily one of the best examples of environmental storytelling in the park, and I always slow down when passing through just to take it all in. When it's open, this ride is best saved for hot days when getting completely drenched feels refreshing instead of alarming. It's a soak you sign up for knowingly, and honestly, that's part of the fun. read more

When there is a warmer day, this is the perfect way to cool down. I always joke karma will be dealt during the ride. Sometimes just a splash and other times you get drenched! Always a fun ride with friends to see how we will exit the ride, though I only do when warm as I don't like to be cold and wet. Enjoy if you ride and be prepared to get wet! Pro tip: there are lockers across the entrance you can use if don't have a waterproof bag. read more

Grizzly River Run - Prepare to get wet - Amusement Parks Near Me - Anaheim, California

Okay, if you do not mind being soaked through. This ride is GREAT. Now if you do not want to be walking with soggy wet butt, then you may want to avoid this ride like the plague OR if you're like us, bring a super large poncho or garbage bag and cover yourself head to toe and you'll enjoy this ride for sure. L O C A T I O N Grizzly River Run is basically to the right past Soarin' and Disneyland's Grand Californian Hotel. It's pretty much in an area that's dead. L I N E S So lines for this ride can be from walk on to loooooong because it's super hot. It makes sense because it's an easy way to cool down. But we went when it wasn't super hot but sunny, we went during late lunch time so that no one was there and we easily walked onto the ride. If there isn't any one in line, I'm sure the cast members will let you stay on. But if there is a line of any size, they will ask you to disembark and get back in line. E X P E R I E N CE They do have lockers you can lock up items so that they won't get wet because EVERYTHING I mean EVERYTHING will get wet. It's across from the ride entrance. It's a circular raft with a few stair entrances. If you sit near those stairs, you will get drenched. If you want your socks and shoes to stay relatively dry, put them on top of the center area otherwise, placing them on the floor or lifted a little beneath you, they will get soggy. You get to ride the rapids though. Lots of spinning areas, water splashes, dips, it's super fun. So if you do get dizzy when spinning, you may also avoid this ride. O V E R A L L Not a ride I'll always go on, but when we do, it's a rip roaring soaking good ol' time. read more

Like WET fun??? Like to spend money on new Disney gear? 4 of our group decided to make this their first ride on our Day 2. The line was empty at 8 pm the night before but it would make for a cold ride home. Hubs and I waited at a vantage point to catch a video of them in their twirling water craft at the mercy of the dips, turns and drenching water covering their bodies. Drowned rats? Pretty much what they looked like. Good marketing tactic to have a clothes store right there. Three new t shirts purchased: Smokey the Bear, a blue light long sleeve and a character tee. Sweetie was smart enough to put a complete set of dry clothes in her red backpack that Doc had gotten her. I definitely wanted to ride that in the heat of the day. Today is our Day 3. Will I be granted a complimentary soaking? Stay tuned. read more

If you are hot and feeling like big splash water to your face and whole body, then this is the great attraction for you! You'll be literally wet from head to toe!! Some people bring ponchos from outside since inside one ponchos for $13!!! Quite expensive so I recommend you get it before you come to the park here. Waiting time was the longest one for us but we enjoyed it a lot after all! Come and enjoy the refreshment! read more

This ride is always fun to do especially in the summer. Depending on how comfortable you are with walking around wet, this could probably be left to be one of the last rides you get on before heading back home or to the hotel. What's exciting about this ride is that you never know who will come out soaked. There's rarely a time when you everyone comes out dry or just with a few splashes. There's usually at least one or two that come out soaked. Ponchos are sold at the gift store near the ride. They also sell clothing if you do end up getting soaked and don't want to be wet the rest of the day. Regardless, this ride will have you laughing both of joy and nervousness waiting to see who gets drenched. read more

We had a BLAST!! Good thing we had some Disney ponchos ..we were soaked ..no one else on the ride with us...the attendants (they are called cast members) were so helpful and Fisney friendly! 10 min wait on most lines...going on a Tuesday was a great idea! We didn't drown! read more

Prepare to get wet!!!!!! You might get lucky and won't hit all the major dips. But the raft spins as you float down the river! So you have no control over the raft. It's just goes and spins around like crazy! You might think you are going down a dip backwards and then it twists and drenches the person next to you. It's so much fun! But except to get wet to some degree. This isn't a ride that you can get lucky on and get off completely dry. The options are wet, more wet, or drenched! lol I got off this ride being "more wet" and my bottom was soaked. The back of my sweatshirt was wet too. Just keep in mind that you will have to walk around the park with whatever level of wetness you experience. read more

Grizzly River Run is one of the original California Adventure rides. The ride has enough excitement that it has not had a face-lift to tie it in with a movie. The ride takes brave guests on a whitewater rafting trip. Rafts are on a track. The rafts slowly spin so everyone is experiencing forward, backwards and sideways, at some point. The ride was tame enough for my elementary school-aged child. Rafts disembark filled. One of the highlights of the ride is seeing people's reactions when they get wet. You will get wet. Some will get more wet than others. When the ride originally debuted, there was a center area with a velcro flap to help keep personal belongings dry. This was fairly impractical, as one backpack essentially filled the compartment. If you are worried about you or your belongings getting wet, I recommend a poncho. On our last ride, two of the four of us got soaked. The other two were slightly wet. read more

Hands down the rode you want to ride on a hot and humid day like this one. Wait time is fairly short which is surprising, but most is covered out of the sun. You never know who's going to get wet. It's a favorite for our family! read more

On a hot day Grizzly River Run is a definite must do at Disney's California Adventure, especially if you're staying at the Grand Californian hotel (GCH). The honey loved using our Lightning Lane (LL) to go through one after another at the end of our day, then easily walking over to our hotel to change. I tend to never buy ponchos for these types of rides as my backpack is waterproof, as are my athleisure clothes, so I just make sure my shoes rest on the lip on the floor so my running socks don't get soaked. I do love that Disney doesn't employ guest controlled sprays like Great Adventure used to, so while you might get a spray to the face, it's light and the ride moves so quickly it barely registers. Even with the rapids it's not a particularly scary ride and the drop is about the same as Pirates of the Caribbean (POTC) or even shorter. All in all, Grizzly River Run is one of our favorite rides at Disney's California Adventure! read more

Get ready for a soaking experience! Grizzly River Run is an extremely wet ride, ideal for beating the heat in summer. Riders must be at least 42 inches tall to join in. The drops are surprisingly substantial, and you'll likely end up quite wet - consider bringing a change of clothes or opting for sandals. Ponchos are available for purchase at the store near the ride entrance. Board a circular 8-person raft, drift along a lazy river past remnants of an old mining company, then ascend Grizzly Peak for an exhilarating descent down Grizzly River. Navigate through currents, spin through a cavern, plummet down a rocky slope, and return to base camp, all while encountering gushing geysers along the way. Note: Grizzly River Run will be closed for refurbishment from January 8 through February 29, 2024 read more

This ride is in Grizzly Peak in California Adventure park. Expect to get soaked through (head to toe) on this fun filled water river ride. The ride is a 8 person circular raft that spins. You strap in and there is a circular bar in the middle that you can hold onto if you like. It is mainly for reassurance than necessity. The ride starts out pretty tame. The raft is on a track that climbs up an incline. Then it releases down a steep descent into a wild wet river ride. Expect to get soaked and have a bunch of fun!! Along the way, there are dips and geyser spouts of water shooting up from the river. The building queue is modeled after a lumber mill from the 1920s. This ride has a detailed fictional back story. Grizzly Peak is the name of the top of the mountain that the ride is on. Look carefully, the peak is shaped as a head of a grizzly bear. According to folklore of the region, there once was a giant gentle bear that lived on the mountain and was transformed into stone to protect over the mountain forever. When I was visiting, the ride was down for one full day and intermittently another day. Finally on the third day, we were able to ride it. It is recommended to load up the Disney app so you look up info such as ride availability. You can buy rain ponchos at the Grizzly Peak general store. Also this ride has lockers you can use to store your items so they don't get soaked. The lockers have a 2 hour limit and are located to the left of the entrance, look for the big oversized smiling bear statue outfitted in water rafting gear. read more

On our first family trip to Disney California Adventure back in 2018 this ride was one of the fun ones. I purchased disposable ponchos in case the weather took a turn for the worst. Good thing I did because they ended up being so useful! For this ride and when it started storming toward the night. As we watched others go around the ride while we looped around in the queue, we noticed a couple of areas of sprays and splashes. Being that we were there late Feb/early March, it was freezing for us islanders! Last thing we needed was to be wet and cold... at least the ponchos covered a good amount of clothing. Just a warning/tip. We were probably the only ones with ponchos but I'll just say it's because we're prepared LOL. I'm sure the rest of California was thinking "look at those weirdos". Ever since I've always purchased and packed them for all vacations. This time around (2023) we waited in line, with our turkey legs to munch on, prepared for a long queue. Thanks to the Disneyland app you're able to see wait times. I'd say about 45 minutes of waiting in line the ride had issues and was shut down. The reason for the 1 star deducted even though we loved the ride the first time around... pretty much lack of customer service. Regardless of the time anyone waited in line (they have a good sense of amount of time spent waiting depending on position) they didn't bother trying to rectify the situation. Yes we get it that rides break down and have unexpected maintenance issues. But the fact that we pay the admission and spend a good amount of time/money around the entire park then waste a whole hour or so without the "payoff". We all queue up for the main reason of getting to a food, get on a ride, get into the show, etc... we've had a similar situation while in Tokyo Disney and they made sure to give everyone at a certain position in line = time spent waiting, a free fast pass for another ride they choose. Of course in Japan customer service would be at the highest peak, when the ticket price is about half the cost of US Disneyland *eyeroll*. I know it's a mini senseless rant but it's just one of those things that bugged me a bit. At the end of the day it is what it is and people will still pay the prices, still wait in the long lines and hopefully enjoy the magic Disney can offer. But that's just a warning and possibility for your visit. Enjoy as many rides as you can, but don't get your hopes up on being able to ride everything you intend to, even if you're next up! read more

# 40 Review for 2024 ***Grizzly River Run at Disney California Adventure is one wet and wild ride*** Overall 5 Stars***** Wild water adventure! Grizzly River Run at Disney California Adventure was an absolute blast! The thrills started from the moment we step into the queue, with its detailed theming that immerses you in the rugged wilderness. Once aboard the raft, get ready for a wet and wild journey through swirling rapids and unexpected drops. The unpredictability of the spins and splashes keeps the excitement levels high throughout the ride. The breathtaking views of the park from the top are an added bonus. It's a fantastic way to cool off on a hot day and enjoy some exhilarating fun with family and friends. Just remember - you will get wet! A must-do for thrill-seekers and water ride enthusiasts." PS As experiences may vary, it's always a good idea to check recent the most up-to-date information! And bring a towel. read more

The Grizzly River Run is a great option when you want a ride where you can get a little wet. Lots of people opt for rain poncho's, if they don't want to get wet. read more

Perfect for the summer heat!! It's been a brutal humid summer in SoCal (very rare) so we've been jumping on this ride to stay cool! I love this rapids ride! It's not too scary for the kids and has some nice drops. Know that you WILL GET WET! It's just how wet! During summer, they turn up the water levels vs winter time so there is more splash! The lines can get long but it's so worth the wait! Lots of shade in the queue helps out too! As you approach the ride, there is a cool turntable floor, watch your step getting into the raft! The raft has 8 seats and does spin as you go down the falls. Lockers are also available free of charge for up to 2 hours near the entrance. Love walking around towards the back near the waterfalls! Make sure to check those out! There's an entrance on the left of the queue line. There is a small shop to the right of the queue line where you can purchase ponchos if needed. Located inside Disney California Adventure Park. Definitely recommended! read more

It's a hot day and your husband is determined to get on a water ride, so you get in line. What you totally forget until too late is that they have single rider at Grizzly River Run. The line is pleasant enough and on a hot day it could be well over an hour in line. The rafts seat 8 so it makes sense that they utilize single riders to fill the spaces. You get in the raft, buckle up, and let the raft float you along the river rapids. It's a fun ride until someone's socks get wet or their whole body. Yep, it's that kind of ride. It's definitely unpredictable as to who gets soaked and who doesn't. They have lockers where you can lock up your valuables nearby if you're concerned. Bring a change of socks or shoes. Enjoy! read more

If you happen to be at California Adventure on a hot day, this ride will be a complete joy to go on as you most likely will get wet! The lines do get long, and with good reason, it's a fun ride for the family. They have a little drop at the end of the ride, which I also thought was pretty cool for a ride like this. The other rides I've been on at other theme parks don't have a drop like this. Don't want to get wet? Bring a poncho! read more

I surprisingly have never been on this ride before. I generally avoid water rides because I don't like the feeling of soggy clothes on me afterwards or the fear of being cold, but during a hot, Californian afternoon, the latter was of no concern. After some convincing from a friend, we decided to go on this ride (with a return time mind you, I am not waiting over an hour for this!). There are lockers to the side of the ride, but when we went they were out of order so we had to carry all of our stuff with us. FYI, YOU WILL GET SOAKED. Take your phones out of your pockets and put it in a bag and hold that bag in front of you while you're on the ride. My BIGGEST gripe with this ride is that for some reason when you board and get off of your rafts, IT STINKS. Smells hideously of BO, wet dog, and all of the like. The smell dissipates when you start your journey or leave the ride so I'm wondering if it's just the collected smell of slower stagnant water there, not sure, but pretty gross nonetheless. There are 2 drops for this ride, a smaller one and a larger one. I think the most enjoyable aspect is that you KEEP spinning, even when you are dropping. It's quite fun to get tossed and spun around on the rapids, especially when you're seated with strangers who are there to have fun and everyone is getting soaked and screaming. There's some Californian woods scenery to look at, but with the speedy pacing of the ride, I don't recall much of it. I would say I enjoy Splash Mountain better for that one (the view inside the caverns particularly). Overall a decent water ride. read more

Step into a river raft with a few strangers and get sopping wet as you get tossed through the "rapids". Sit near the ride's cut-outs for boarding and you'll get really soaked! On a hot day, this ride cools you off plus you'll make fast friends with strangers as you whoop and shriek with each big splash. It's all part of the fun- enjoy! read more

I said I wasn't going to do it! I was not going to go on this ride. I told the kids they could go on it and enjoy without me, but that failed, and cut to ten minutes later, I was on the ride. The one thing I did not want was for there to be spots with huge downpours, which there were not any waterfalls to hit. That was the main reason for my hesitance, I am always the one who gets stuck under the waterfall, which is what you typically expect for a rapid ride. This was one a bit calmer that ones I have ridden in the past. I like the bear theming on this ride. Very cute, plus you can buy the stuffed bears at the gift shop or at the Grand Californian hotel gift shop. We took a ton of pictures outside the ride with the giant bears. The weather was not overly warm, but there were still plenty of people in long sleeves and long pants going on this ride. So I was optimistic about my chances of not getting wet. Then I saw all of the people wearing the plastic ponchos and knew I might get soaked by the end. The rafts are a nice size for big parties or several families. Not all of us went on the ride, so we shared with a couple other families that seem to have been on this adventure before. The ride went at a good pace, a lot of splashes. At one point the entire bottom of the raft filled up with ankle deep water. I thought I was going to get out of having a couple soakers by putting my feet above on the wheel, but nope, the shoes got very wet. So I did end up getting plenty wet but not as bad as it could have been. Do I regret going on this ride? Nope. This is my first time at this park, so I here to experience as much as possible even if I need to take some time to dry out. read more

I am not a big fan of water rides. Mostly because I end up being miserable while sloshing around in my squishy shoes and jeans. But Grizzly River Run is almost worth the price. Depending on where you sit (relative to weight and spin) you'll get more drenched. I haven't quite figured out if there's something to the ride that makes it more bumpy, but every time we ride it's a different level of "wetness" - so who knows! As others have said, there's a section in the middle that can hold valuables but I'd highly suggest putting your phone in your own plastic or waterproof bag. Do NOT leave it in your pocket or you'll be sorry! Bottom line - if you're worried about getting wet, opt out of this one because the chances are incredibly high. read more

One of my favorite rides at Disney California Adventure. Finally got my own raft to myself, and may i say, it was AWESOME. This ride is fun if you're by yourself or with a group.

This fun ride is guaranteed to leave you soaked. Each circular craft holds 8 passengers. There's a round center handle which doubles as storage area for valuables. Plastic bags were provided however didn't exactly keep our valuables dry. I highly recommend getting the poncho. They're reusable which is perfect if you are planning on going on this ride multiple times. We had max passes for this ride. The wait was only 10 minutes and the river scene gave us a nice view of geysers soaking the riders. The course does not have large drops. It does have switchbacks, huge waves, and tons of spinning. The geysers in the end are unpredictable. We just happen to be floating right by when it exploded. This is also another ride I would not hesitate doing again. read more

This grizzly river run is amazing, when we need to keep our bodies wet from the hot sun. Also, it's good idea to ride on the water rapids, just like Knott's berry farm and six flags magic mountain.

If you're not willing to get wet, don't even bother. If you're going to wear one of those raincoats, honestly, don't even bother. Getting wet is the fun part. If you manage to stay dry throughout all the drops, don't worry, you'll get wet at the end.. SPOILER ALERT. Anyways, this ride is usually a 5 minute wait later in the evening time. I would not wait more than half an hour for this ride, honestly. Go later in the PM and ride it multiple times without waiting at all. read more

Ok. I want to hate this ride but it's growing on me. A ride where you get wet...actually in some cases SOAKED does not seem like a grand ol' time but the ride is actually pretty fun. Everyone is usually screaming from the fast-paced rapids or going downhill (sometimes backwards depending on where you're sitting in the circle) which makes it exhilarating. I guess everyone is trying not to get wet! Silly... They used to have geysers that would erupt. They didn't go off at all the last time I was there which was so disappointing. It was hilarious watching tubes of people approach and eventually go over a geyser and get SOAKED. There are drying stations across from the ride now. For $5.00 you can fit up to approximately 5 people in a booth and blow dry off. Lockers are available to the left and are free for first 2 hours so your stuff doesn't get wet. read more

Wet. Wet like Pavlov's dogs mouth when the bell starts to ring, wet. Wet like getting caught in a thunderstorm with a piece of toilet paper as an umbrella, wet.

Just a little wet, down to your undies. I don't particularly care pulling wet undies out of my ass crack. Ride this at the end of the day or you'll be miserable. Way better than Knott's. read more

I LOVE this ride! Oh my gosh, this ride is so much FUN! I like this more than Splash Mountain because the drops are less intense. You also get pretty wet on this ride. It's so much fun to try and peg who will get soaked the most. Usually, that's me! I really hate when people get on this ride and get all prissy and start hemming and hawing over getting wet. You are getting on this ride and know darn well that you are going to get wet. Oh yeah, stop cheating by wearing those ponchos when you get on the ride because the whole point of this ride is that you WANT to get wet. It's not a matter of IF you will get wet but rather, how wet you will get. There is a single rider option so take advantage of it on hot days. read more

Grizzly River Run - The best part of this ride is the drop at the end! - Amusement Parks Near Me - Anaheim, California

It's always fun to take this spinning raft ride around the scenic Grizzly Peak in Disney's California Adventure Park. Our family always jumps in line for this ride to cool down on those hot summer days or pending the weather, we end our day with it since it can be hit or miss if you'll get completely soaked or not. The ride takes you under a few leaky, dripping pipes and sprayers before you descend upon the peak, bumping and spinning along the way. The last drop is always a lot of fun as you go spinning down not knowing which section of the raft will get hit the hardest. So much fun! We always return! read more

This is the grown-up version of Splash Mountain from Disneyland, though the waterfalls in Grizzly River Run are not nearly as large as the one at Splash Mountain. No music, no cutesy animals singing and jabbering, nothing. Just rustic mountainous scenery, the roar of the waters, and screams from people turning and tumbling down waterfalls and getting soaked. read more

Staff was very friendly and welcoming at this attraction. Very impressive! The ride was quite fun. You will get wet, but it's just really good fun! The ride replicates white water rafting, though a lot more spinning, maybe too much so. read more

Grizzly River Run is like Splash Mountain across the way at Disneyland...all I want to do is stand around and watch people try and not get soaked by random water. Seriously...its AMAZING. Near the end of the ride after the big drop there is that one random geyser that if it goes off at just the right time it absolutely soaks most of the guests on the ride. Half the time they seriously go nuts when they get wet, which is why it's so damn funny. They just went on a WATER ride named Grizzly River Run and they cant stand getting wet. I can seriously stand there for a hour and be entertained by each and every raft that goes by. Here's a huge tip...to the left of the ride entrance (behind the Disney Vacation Club kiosk) there is a bank of lockers...believe it or not they are free! Most people don't realize this. If I remember right you get two hours on them, so put all your stuff in there if you are going on Grizzly...that way your iPhone works later in the day so you can still check in on Yelp. :0) read more

This is one of those rides you just have to do for the sheer enjoyment of other people's faces when they get drenched by a massive wave over the top of the raft. It is really hit and miss. I have ridden this dozens of times. I cam only think of a few times where I have been completely soaked, but you will get a little bit wet every time no matter what. This is fantastic on warm days to cool off for a bit. As I said in the beginning though, watching people's reactions is priceless. A must ride every time we go. The only bad thing I would say is that it seems to be closed a lot in the cooler months and I wish it was opened year round. read more
