Closed kitchen 2 1/2 hours after opening. Sucks since you aren't supposed to bring food in and even if you have a wristband, you can't leave and come back. however. Life guard situation is terrifying in my opinion. Not enough of them and one of them completely left his post for a couple minutes with no other eyes in the jump area and then chatted with another guard for quite awhile while he was at his post. My boys had fun... it's water but we won't be back any time soon. We will spend our time and money at golf land sunsplash. Miss our Big Surf. If you go to experience, it definitely smuggle your food in. read more

We had such a fun and budget-friendly outing at this surf park! We went on a Sunday evening and took advantage of their deal--if you eat at the restaurant, you get access to the surf park for free. For two adults and two kids plus dinner, our total came out to around $60, which felt like a really good value. The kids had an absolute blast playing in the surf and sand, and it was such an easy, laid-back way to spend the evening. The staff was friendly and welcoming, and there was plenty of parking, which made everything super convenient. Definitely a solid family spot. read more

We had a really disappointing experience at Revel Surf in Gilbert, especially considering we paid nearly $600 for a cabana. Right from the start, we were stuck waiting in line for about 30 minutes in the blazing sun with no organization or consideration for guests who had already paid for premium seating. When we finally got through, we were met with a pretty poor attitude, which set the tone for the rest of the visit. The cabana itself was dusty and clearly not properly cleaned. It also took quite a while for a server to even come by, and when they finally did, the service didn't improve much. Basic amenities were missing, the fridge only had warm water when we arrived, and there was no ice available. For the price, that's unacceptable. Food service was frustratingly slow, and when it finally arrived, it was brought out without napkins or silverware. We had to request things you wouldn't even think to ask for, and even after asking, it took another 30 minutes for those items to be brought out. Overall, the experience felt disorganized, overpriced, and poorly managed. Honestly, take your money elsewhere. read more

I came here with a group of moms of toddlers and it was a good experience! The kids enjoyed playing in the sand most of our time since the water was still very cold. We brought our own beach toys so I highly recommend that! There was a bunch of good food but I loved the chicken parm pizza! We went on a Sunday and it was $25 per person and 4 & under we're free. Not too bad of a price but if it was any more money which I am sure it would be in the summer time, I wouldn't go for any higher price. read more

I came here for our weekly happy hour with my husband and in-laws. My margarita was perf. My husband got the Rick Cane. He thought it would be a lettuce wrap but it was more like lettuce buns. He said it was AMAZING he added a side of grilled pineapple pico which he adored. I had the HH fish taco, meh. My MIL got the flatbread and liked it very much. She said the crust was thick and flakey. Service was slow. I will say I was greeted with a smile and a hello by three people within 90 seconds of walking through the door. Very friendly. It was pretty clean, cute shop in front. There were a lot of flies when we were there. read more

Took a surf lesson. The moment I walked in, I was welcomed by friendly girls. This property is my dream come true. I so wish we had this in Tucson! Surf lesson was beyond fun and the instructor made sure I was able to stand on the board. Gave me lots of tips and kept asking if I had any questions. I also had lunch after my lesson and the food was surprisingly good. Everyone at the facility was friendly. I can't wait to go back! read more

Revel Surf - Water Parks Near Me - Mesa, Arizona

Last Sunday, we learned to surf at the lagoon of Revel Surf. Arizona was the last place I'd thought we'd learn to surf, but it happened and was a nice way of cooling off when outside temps reached beyond 115 degrees. There are 10 people in the beginners' surf class so they split us up into groups of 3, 3, and 4. We had 2-3 instructors giving us tips on movement, timing, and placement on the surf boards. They started out showing us how to stand on the board on land and then we went out to the water. We all got a gentle push as the waves went through us at first and then as time progressed and we showed motivation, we could start to paddle on our own and test what we learned. Yes, there were a few "nose dives" and some crashes but you could easily hop off the board and stand most places. We enjoyed our time so much that the lesson our flew by. We want to come back. We had frozen piña coladas after to celebrate our efforts. They were either non-alcoholic or alcoholic, whichever you prefer. We tried the cliff jumping area before we left. I think the highest jump was 25 feet? That's where we started, haha! It's so nice to jump and not having to worry if the depth is enough. The beach area is beautiful with soft white sand everywhere. It's like being on a resort. There are lots of umbrellas but there is definitely still a need for more shade overall! Next time we return, we will try the river style surfing. It's more like the type we saw in Munich, and we definitely want to work in that. It looks harder than the lagoon surfing, but still fun! I guess it's put some of the wake surfing skills to the test? We shall see! read more

My girls took a surf lesson here and had such a great time! Their instructor was patient and they learned a lot. We're from CA and miss the beach so much and this place gives us HB vibes and we love it. The sand is soft. The workers are friendly! We love it here read more

Great place to learn how to surf in AZ! I was hoping it would be like the old Big Surf, but this place is for people who seriously want to surf--which is great if that's what you're looking for. There's also a cliff-diving area with three height levels, cornhole, sand volleyball courts, a skate rink, and a separate FlowRider-style area (strong enough for full-size surfboards). They also have a bar with live music. read more

Arizona now has a beach! Revel Surf is a hot & new attraction located in Cannon Beach, which is also a hot & new development here in the Valley. Back in April, I took my son and three of his friends for some fun in the sun to celebrate my son's birthday. I purchased beach passes ahead of time and passes were $50 per person for our Saturday visit, which I think is pretty steep for beach access, swimming, and diving off Revel Rocks only. It's usually $35 for weekdays. The river wave, surf lessons, boogie boards, cabanas, and more are all extras. Regardless, the boys stayed busy at the Revel Rocks and sand while I relaxed on a beach chair and people watched. I offered to rent boogie boards for them, but they declined saying they didn't need them. I got hungry so I ordered fish tacos and a virgin piña colada from the restaurant, which didn't take long to make. The tacos were decent and I appreciate the big pieces of fish they came with. The frozen drink was delicious. The staff was pleasant. I offered the boys food, but they also declined saying they weren't hungry yet. We stayed for a few hours before taking the party back to the house. We enjoyed our visit and I would really love to return, but $50 per person is a bit too much for our family. Maybe I'll return when I'm able to go on a weekday or if they lower their prices. read more

All the staff is super nice here and accommodating. If you are in the area go ahead and try it out but don't make a special trip for it. Waves are small, even the "larger ones" there isn't that much difference. For the price it's expensive but we did it just to try it out. The bartenders were on point making it for a good day in Arizona. read more

Revel Surf - Malibu wave - Water Parks Near Me - Mesa, Arizona

Had a birthday "pool" day with my friends. I enjoyed the cabana experience, they have a fridge stocked with water (though it was Dasani and really do not like Dasani). The fan and mist was a big help with this heat and the place was all around clean. The lady assigned to our cabana was very attentive and sweet, making sure we were always taken cared of. I wish there was access to the water from the cabana so we didn't have to walk around. The surf area was a bit smaller than I anticipated and I hope they expand to area where people that aren't actively surfing can just relax in the water. read more

Came back for a day of surfing and beach access. My husband and son had a blast doing the Malibu Surf session. It's pricey but a little piece of Cali in the desert. We did beach passes to get some sun and watch them. Have sandals or water shoes, the sand and artificial grass gets HOT but the water was beautiful and refreshing. Not overly busy with school here and summer in full swing. read more

Revel Surf - Surf pool - Water Parks Near Me - Mesa, Arizona

What a nice setting Revel Surf has for us in AZ that miss having a beach nearby! The major pool has shallow areas for small kids (like a sand bar), and is older ones can venture out deeper. We were expecting a real sandbar as it seemed to be in pictures, but the sand area is only where some of the chairs are. There's another pool where babies can play, one for jumping, and one with stronger waves for surf lessons. It was a bang for our buck on a weeks day, but I think the weekend price is a bit hefty it bringing the whole family out. The seating area should be cleaned more often, since most loungers had some sand and food debris in it. There's a nice restaurant that's part of it serving food and drinks. The Hawaiian chicken sammy was yum! read more

What a great new find!! This is a surf park with an excellent restaurant. On Monday and Tuesday they don't run the surf waves so it's a great family ocean environment with a sand beach which they also have a kiddy pool. I ordered the grilled Mahi Mahi tacos and they were awesome! The topping was a combination of shredded kale, brussel sprouts and carrots which gave it a great crunch. The dish was juicey and flavorful. My husband got the chopped salad which had great flavor but needed a little more chopped chicken and ham....a little light in this area. The atmosphere is a very relaxed beach environment. Our waitress, Milan was so sweet and explained this whole concept to us. I can't wait to come back. read more

I visited Revel Surf after hearing about their free entry promotion for the month of February and decided it was worth the drive to check it out. Upon arrival, guests are required to sign a waiver before entering through the pro shop, which is connected to a restaurant featuring both bar seating and a spacious outdoor patio with tables. We originally came out for dinner but found that there weren't many vegan-friendly options available, as I had started lent, so we opted for drinks instead and explored the park. We arrived around sunset and caught the tail end of happy hour. I ordered my usual wine, while my partner requested a Greyhound. Unfortunately, they didn't have grapefruit juice--understandable given that they're still in the early stages of operation--so he opted for a Screwdriver instead. One great feature is that you can order a drink and walk around the park/lounge area. The atmosphere was lively, with families and children enjoying the park, but as the sun set, the crowd began to thin out. I believe they close around 7 or 8 PM. The park offers a variety of attractions, including cliff jumping, a wave pool, cabanas with beach lounge chairs, and even a skate park. The standout feature is definitely the surf/wave pool, which I imagine will host some exciting surf competitions in the future. Since we didn't fully experience all the park's amenities during this visit, I couldn't give a full five-star rating. However, I look forward to returning for a more complete experience and revisiting my review in the future. read more

Soft Opening Day and EVERYTHING was booked out and the water park was at full capacity! So, not much to do there other than observe the surroundings and shop the small area of vendors prior to the gate entrance. Came across the event planner (which was the first vendor stand) Very nice guy that explained what's happening, what's to come and what the future will be here! Currently, just the waterpark/ surf park is open. They have yet to complete the indoor race track and skate park. The "restaurant row" is still to come (can't wait for that) and a concert stage/ venue is being discussed as well. The pool/ surf area does have a restaurant and bar. Live music and happy hour specials. Inside: They offer rental surf boards & wet suits while at the same time you can browse their store for merch & swag. Park is closed on Mondays & Tuesdays. Currently, it's free entry until February 28th, but good luck with getting an advanced entry. Speaking of entries; they had a raffle the day we came and ended up a winner with a gift card & a cali sunscreen spray! Considering not getting in to tour the inside and experience the pool, we had a fun time hanging outside the park with the local vendors and all the shops that surround this huge venue. NOTE- Website doesn't have full details, which would have been great if they did. Prices are extremely expensive $35 for an all day pass and over $1000 for a yearly membership, however that does come with many perks. You must sign a no liability waiver as well. Alcoholic beverages; no BYOB here! You can consume adult drinks inside their venue ONLY. They have servers pool side. Rental cabanas are available as well for an additional fee of course. Be prepared to spend even more once you get thru the doors as most everything presented will cost you more! read more

1st time visiting this new "beach" and honestly wasn't that impressed. They're doing a soft opening currently, thru the end of February, which allows guests to enter for FREE. After that, it's $35 a person if you're just there for Beach Day. Filling out the waiver was a hassle and shouldn't be. Everyone was expected to line up along the wall to fill out their waiver for everyone in their party and then present the screenshot. No emails were sent for confirmation. Girl at door was getting very annoyed with all the questions, but kept her composure. I think it would be more helpful to have tablets available to register and not expect everyone to have a device of their own. Once you walk in, there's a small clothing store with their merch and a restaurant. The restaurant does have a separate entry line than the beach but waiver is still required. Sand is white and super soft. Tide pool is nice and shallow. Didn't get to see any waves but I'm told they happen! There's an area for brave soles to jump off 4 different height landings and an area just for learning how to surf in their wave pool. Not enough to do for the $35 price tag, but I know they're currently building more things to expand the park. read more

We arrived Sunday the 23rd, around 5pm. Staff greeted us and helped with all our questions. It was free admission that day, and will be free until 2/28/25. It was not crowded as I expected it to be, we found seats fast, it was clean, and the water was clear blue. I'll be honest the water was cold, which was understandable due to the weather and time. We still had lots of fun. Side note: you cannot take coolers or food inside, please review all rules on website. read more

We went to check out Revel Surf this morning and were surprised that the beach area was completely full. Most people had made online reservations. We did have access to the restaurant and patio which we took advantage of. We ordered mixed drinks a burger and fries. The drinks were delicious as was the food. We enjoyed watching a beginners surfer class. It is a very nice facility. As we were leaving we noticed a long line of families waiting to get in. This place is very popular. read more

Horrible experience here today. I had a terrible experience with Revel Surf . I bought tickets earlier this week and showed up excited get out of the heat, only to be stopped at the door and told they were already at capacity. Apparently they oversold tickets in person, and then claimed that around 100 people had "stolen in." Instead of taking responsibility for overselling, the staff seemed more frustrated with me--a paying customer--simply for asking why they would sell more tickets than they could accommodate. It was incredibly frustrating. They offered no real solution other than a refund. At first they told me I could wait outside while they tried to figure out who had snuck in and let people in as others left. After waiting around for about 30 minutes, they came back and said they actually wouldn't be letting me in at all. The whole situation felt poorly managed and very unprofessional. I drove out expecting to use a ticket I had legitimately purchased, and instead got stuck dealing with disorganized staff and zero real customer service. Really disappointing experience. I wouldn't recommend based on how this was handled. read more

We happen to be in the area and decided to check it out and are very happy that we did. It gives great beach life vibes with an amazing view of the AZ mountains. I ordered the wings while my 7 year old got the chicken tenders and fries. She must have really liked her food because it was all gone. The wings were amazing, you could tell they had been grilled to perfection. We will be coming by back read more

My friend rented out a cabana to celebrate her bday. We enjoyed the perks of the cabana which included our own private area to lounge/tan, a fan with mister to cool off, and staff that took our food and drink orders and brought them to us. For the most part we enjoyed, but the park is smaller than I initially thought. The sandy 'beach' area leading into the water seemed a bit crowded. Looks like you'd have to show up pretty earlier to set aside some space. Not the best place to come to if you're looking for leisure (unless you rent the cabana), but I would be interesting in coming back for a surf lesson. read more

I had a very disappointing and embarrassing experience at Rebel Surf Park today. I purchased seven passes for myself and my children, and we arrived excited to spend the day there. At some point the park said they were "bum rushed" by people entering without tickets, and things became chaotic. Instead of properly handling the situation, staff began forcing people to leave due to capacity. Unfortunately, my children and I were among the people told to leave, even though I showed staff our purchased tickets. Meanwhile, it appeared that some of the people who entered without paying were allowed to stay, which was extremely frustrating. The situation was handled very poorly. Staff members were confrontational and seemed to think I was someone else, and I felt harassed and embarrassed in front of my kids. We were rushed out so quickly that my son had to leave his sand toys behind and was crying, which made the whole experience even worse. As a parent who paid for seven passes, I expected better organization and customer service. Being treated like we had done something wrong when we had legitimate tickets was humiliating. I hope Rebel Surf Park improves their crowd control and verification process, because customers who actually paid should not be the ones being removed when the park becomes overcrowded. Very disappointing experience. read more

For the day pass price, it's a great way to stay cool. We don't surf but we enjoyed hanging out in the shallower end of the wave pool and in the cliff jumping pool. The food was decent and drinks were okay. It's nice to have a place to put your feet in the sand. The only thing I hope they work on, is getting more landscaping around the park. There is some bulky wearhouses and heavy machinery equipment behind the wave pool that is a bit of an eye sore. We also had to wait at the restaurant until a lounger became available which sorta sucked for the waitress. I would hate to see them start charging for loungers but I am not sure they can fit any more. read more

We were there at 1:00 pm today to celebrate our 44th anniversary. We sat at a table facing the surfers, after 15 minutes we noticed a table that had come in after us had their menus and water. The table next to us said "Good luck getting service, they are awful". I finally asked an employee who was walking quickly by for menus. 10 minutes later she handed them to me and walked off. After 15 more minutes with no employee in sight, we gave up and walked to a nearby pizza place called Russo's where we were greeted at the door and received excellent service. Don't waste your time at Revel Surf. Go to Russo's instead. read more

this place is awesome for a beach day or to surf. they have a Unit wave, which is there version of a flo rider. It's a lot like a river wave so it's an awesome way to surf for a longer time. the surf waves are great, they engendered a way to have a perfect wave every time. they one hour sessions with a different wave strength by hour. it's a good setup for everyone from novice to expert they have a beach pass to where you can hang out in the white sand beaches, on the edge of the wave pool, or in a lagoon pool. It's a sweet spot for people that don't surf. they have diving platforms as well, the highest looks to be around 25' into a 16' deep pool. the only thing I would say is bring a ton a sunblock, shade is a bit limited near the lagoon pool and Unit wave. read more

We went for a friends birthday because we were very excited for the live music and food looked good online. They messed up the order and the waitress couldn't care less.

I definitely would not have a wave pool and have a cement floor without padding. Saw 2 people get hurt injust the 3 hours we were there, our daughter was one of them. I would also not have diving areas were you are able to jump or dive without the pool being clear from others that had just jumped. And $22. to rent a boogie board?!?! Thats just so wrong. And the lifeguards, this is a joke. They are all so worried about how they look, instead of actually watching and doing their job. read more
