it was actually a very smooth experience with all slides and pools open! The workers and lifeguards were very kind and welcoming. while it can get expensive I rate it a 5 star with a clean, kind and fun experience read more

So much fun! We had a great time. We took a group of about 30 teenagers and spent the day! The food was expensive so we didn't get any, but it sure looked good! read more

We had so much from here. Great selection of different slides. Fun lazy river. Nice wave pool. It was clean. On a hot day in Phoenix this place is a great option. read more

If I can give a 0 stars I would. Super unorganized. Spent more time waiting in lines for food and the rental tubes than I was in the water. The lines for the water slides were so long, that the wave pool and lazy river were overflowing with people. I was hoping for a good experience, but I think this place is under staffed, badly managed, and doesn't have a good back up when people are waiting too long to get food. read more

We loved the experience and all the slides were open. The only complaint I have is the cost of food. A funnel cake almost $15!

Fun in the sun! Phoenix needs more water parks, with our warm climate we can enjoy warm weather for many months! I hope our Hurricane Harbor isnt going anywhere! I was reading online that Six Flags was closing by 2027? I hope it's only certain locations! We came to Hurricane Harbor Phoenix the weekend before school starts for our first time and had a great time! I recommend coming right when they open. The day we came they opened at 1030 am. The lines weren't long at all. I did learn that we should have gone to the popular rides first because the lines got long in the afternoon at Big Kahuna, Mammoth falls and Serpentines/Typhoon Twister. The boys really loved the rainbow slide with the blue mat you lay on. We did this one a few times. The wait for the ride wasn't bad because 6 people can slide down at the same time. The wave pool was also very popular, we went here a few times as well. The big kahuna is a family fun ride! You sit in a huge raft that can fit large groups. We waited for maybe 35 min so this would also be one of the rides you should go to first when they open. I do appreciate all the misters that are attached on the railings at all the rides. This made waiting in line in the Arizona heat very bare-able! The only ride we didn't get to was Bahama Blaster, next time this will be one of the rides we go to once they open. I did not bring my younger son, who is 4, but now I know he will love the little kid rides at Coconut Bay and Splash Island! I can't wait to bring him, he will have so much fun! I took pictures of most of the food menus because prices have increased throughout the years. I was looking ahead of time to get a ball park of what food would cost but could not find updated prices. I was trying to decide if the food pass is worth it. We didn't have complaints about the food. My husband and my son's friend liked their burger and fries, my son and I liked the nachos. If your kids don't like jalapeños, you can ask for them on the side. The icee slushee drink is huge, the boys did not finish theirs. You could easily get one and have the kids split it. The park does have drinking fountains near the bathrooms if you need a quick sip of water while running around or you can go into the tidal wave cafe and get a water cup from the counter and get free water with ice at the soda station. They do offer a food pass which I might consider for next season! Not a bad deal! I do wish the park would stay open till end of October instead of September because it's usually still very warm here in Phoenix. Thanks for the fun experience and see you next time! read more

the annual pass is worth it. We are always on a budget, but we got them at $50 and its annual Gold pass so many benefits. We go 1 day a week but this week we went twice. I go early less people. I burned 500 calories per trip, my kids are outside exercising instead of being inside the house eating all day bored. The food is expensive, so we try to eat before, i get then their slushie on the way out and then i cook when i get home. Not bad so far. Even my 17yr old went for once and he enjoyed the lazy river and i think i saw a smile . Cant wait to go next week. read more

Pov your parents both die so you go to the waterpark to get your mind off things at age 16, but guess what? You need a chaperone at age 16 even though you could work there in age 16. So you genuinely just go to your car and start crying because I guess I need my parents. Hurricane Harbor will lose so much business because of it. It's almost like a scam. They wait for all the kids to buy their passes and then just make them bring their parents, even if they don't have them. All the slides are arrested you get stuck on half of them. My shoulder got skin to bare meat on one of them and my fingers got stuck in a vent on the other and ripped two nails. Good luck opening next year. if I was the owner I would just close the park to put everyone out of their misery. We'll never come back and we'll always be going to golf land from now on Golfland is not pathetic and sad. read more

Service was hellah mid ngl told the guy 5 times to get my coke the lazy river was chill joined the cool kid club in the line we made in it and don't think it's the best for rides took 45 mins to go down one ride read more

After reading all of the reviews, I was very hesitant about taking my kiddos here. But I was pleasantly surprised that there were multiple staff, the grounds were clean, and there was more than enough tubes available for usage. These are all areas that were concerned and the previous bad reviews that I was reading. I will definitely be returning my kids had such a great time ! read more

This is the worst amusement park on the planet !!!! My daughter purchased a season family pass. The first time she entered the park, she knew there were problems. Only half of the rides were staffed and operating. The food at the snack bars was cold. The restrooms were dirty. Trash cans throughout the park were overflowing. When she tried to get a refund, they refused. She filed a claim with her credit card company (VISA). It took many emails and phone calls before she succeeded in getting a refund. If you like a filthy amusement park with long lines for the rides, this is the place for you !!!!!! read more

So much better when it was Wet n Wild. Not well maintained and very understaffed. Six Flags came in and increased prices for everything but decreased the available tubes (so you'd have to pay for a rental) and portion sizes for food. My toddler does love the kids area but it's not a new area since the Six Flags purchase. read more

This place was so fun! Whenever we are home for the summers in Arizona (our second home) this is our go to spot for cooling off and water park fun! Been taking my kid since she was 2 and she's 6 currently. To Save money I would indefinitely purchase the season passes and parking. Food was pretty pricey and mediocre. Also had little stop and shops to purchase souvenirs or necessities as we forget them at times. Overall a great place for summertime fun! (2019) read more

Well, despite being unsure we would renew our membership, we did so as we also frequent Magic Mountain in CA. So yesterday we decided to visit hurricane harbor for the first time this summer. What a DRASTIC change from last year. First off, parking is now free for everyone, not just those with a pass. Secondly, the whole park seemed well kept and refreshed. I am wondering if this is because Six Flags has merged with Cedar Entertainment (the big boys in the amusement park industry). Whatever the reason, we were so happy to see the inner tubes/floats well stocked at each ride. Part of that may be it being a weekday, but it still was SO much better than last year. We are definitely going to visit several times this summer, after seeing all the improvements they've made. Oh and one other thing-they actually had all the misters running for the ride lines...this is so incredibly helpful to prevent overheating. They hadn't been running at all last year (at least not for the several times we visited). I feel that's an absolute necessity in AZ. Well done six flags. Thanks for taking your customer's concerns seriously, and keeping the fun going! read more

I thought we would save money, not having the service charge by purchasing a ticket at the gate. My daughters went instead of being a little over 100 it was $130 for just two of them. They're both minors. If you're gonna purchase a ticket, do it online Even though you may pay a service charge they rape you at the door. I don't know that I'd send them again too pricey, and then it gets worse. I just find out that the only couple they would seller is $36 because they were out of the smaller cups and she wanted refillable one this place is such a rip off. I will never let my girls go there again. They said they didn't have the $20 refillable cup. She could only get the $36 ones. The girls spent over $200 for a very little food and the day this is worse than Disneyland. just reviewed her credit card. It came out to $264 plus for the two of them. this is insane. read more

Was nervous about going due to horrible reviews. Honestly we had fun and didn't come across any issues. There was a group of younger side of teen boys trying to cut the line but I told them nope they ended up a group or two behind us so I let this really nice lifeguard know and he kicked them to the very end of the line and everyone clapped. I would definitely go back again. We went on a Friday, it got a little crowded but not too terrible. read more

Hurricane Harbor Phoenix - First single rider ride to the right when you enter park. - Water Parks Near Me - Glendale, Arizona

We came here on a Monday. Got there about 30 minutes after opening. There was a small line to enter but once they got more staff to man the entrance it went pretty quick. Once inside there were still chairs available. It does seem to get much busier in the afternoon so there might not be chairs available anymore at that point. Also, chairs in the shade are limited. Overall the lines weren't terrible. Some slides had a 5-10 minute wait while others were a bit longer. I think the most we waited was 40 minutes. We were able to ride all the slides that were open (I think 2 were closed for the day). The lazy River did end up closing in the afternoon due to a staffing shortage. I cannot comment on the food service as I have food allergies and brought in my own food. Next time I may consider renting a tube as that seems to be where most of the wait is. Once you get a tube the line at the actual slides aren't that long. Also, there are only about 5 tubes available for the lazy river. If you don't rent a tube you have to hope to be lucky to find one that someone is done with or you just walk the lazy river. I imagine they did this to avoid a huge amount of tubes blocking up the lazy river. I suppose there are pluses and minuses to this. We got the summer weekday pass and enjoyed our time here so we'll definitely be back! read more

Great place to take the kids in summer! Its a bit expensive, especially the food, but we had a blast. The blackbean burger and chicken salad are pretty good. The meals come with fries or chips so they are quit filling. The park could use some repairs, the slides leak and waste so much water. And they are in dire need of more tubes for the lazy river. But over all a lot of fun. read more

Excellent choice for Family Fun! What a great water park. The season pass is the way to go!!! We decided to pay a little extra and take advantage of the ability to visit California's Six Flags. There is also a Hurricane Harbor right beside the roller coasters in a separate section. Check the hours. Early morning is best to get the most out of your day. The season drink cup is pricy, but you can use it every time you visit - ask for "light ice" to maximize your fill-up :-) read more

Like all of you I read the reviews and thought to myself, could the park be that bad? We drove over an hr to get there in hopes that it would be worth it. I am sad to say it was not. Things to know when planning your trip. Get water shoes, rent the orange tubes ( you can take them down a lot of slide without waiting for the tubes that are for the ride), rent a chair so you and your family have a meeting spot. What to expect : long lines, run down and expensive! My husband and I decided we would let the kids (teens) go off on their own while we did the lazy river. Half of the sprayers on the river don't work. The wave pool makes very small waves unless you are right up front on the left hand side you wouldn't know you were in a wave pool. They need to close the park for a month or two and revamp the place. Plan to go during the week. We went on a Saturday morning that could have been why the wait times for rides were so long. We were there 4 hrs and the kids rode 3 rides. read more

TL;DR Six Flags is continuing the tradition of Arizona water parks by inflating prices, cutting staff, neglecting slide maintenance, and squeezing every last penny out of the guest. Until they at the very LEAST have all the attractions operational, this will be a 1 star. Pricing: Hurricane Harbor has really mastered the art of separating money from the consumer. As soon as you enter the parking lot you are met with a $20 charge JUST for parking. Next, tickets. I only tend to visit the park towards the end of the season so I do get discounted tickets. I also purchase these online, in advance. However, even when purchasing tickets online you are subjected to an unavoidable $9.99 "processing fee". Overall, this place is just a money pit, be prepared to spend close to $75 per person for a visit under normal circumstances. Food: Food is extremely expensive for what it is. Frozen tenders and fries being heated up in oil. Drinks are equally pricey with a small being 7.30 and a large being 7.80. I'm sure you can figure out why they are priced like that. Taste is pretty mediocre, nothing great but nothing upsetting Rides: The rides (when they work) are very exciting and fun. Unfortunately, when we went Mammoth Falls was not open, the lazy river only had a total of 10 tubes, so you're either at the mercy of kids on their 7th lap or you dish out the 10 dollars for a rental tube. The wave pool for some reason has less water than normal, you can see the water line on the wall. The rope was pushed closer to the entrance so there is less room, and the waves are pretty pathetic. read more

This place is way overpriced. The food is garbage and prices are insane $17.99 for a slice of cheese pizza gtfoh it's cheaper to eat at Disneyland. They got rid of most of The tubes for the lazy river and the slides to force you to rent one for $20 bucks. most of the sprayers and features of the lazy river don't even work. The wave pool didnot work. Restrooms are disgusting. Rip off... $20 to rent a locker $20 to rent a single tube $20 for a Drink $25 for a double cheese burger $17.99 cheese pizza $20 for parking read more

We loved the rides, but very few tubes available and we went on a Thursday in July. It was actually ridiculous how long we waited, an odd amount of time between people going down the slides. It was decently clean, food way overpriced- moreso than typical at yhis type of venue. Our 6yr old is 44" and we always waited in line before someone would measure her and refuse her for a 48" ride. If you have a daredevil dont waste your time and $$ until they are 48". Some would let her go and others not. read more

Has an executive from six flags ever visited this location? It's run down, slides are rusty, not enough employees are working to direct the flow of people riding slides. Price gouging galore. 27 Parking, ticket 35, and 20 bucks for a medium locker. Not to mention ball park prices concessions. A few rides were closed, water features not working in lazy river, the pools were dirty and cloudy. I just find it hard to believe that any executive for 6 flags can be proud of what this place looks like. read more

Dirty and run down! Just left with my daughter and we have been going for years but today was just unacceptable. Looks like last nights crew didn't clean up. The garage cans were overfilled and this was at opening hour 10:30 am. Went to the lazy river there was a sock a shirt and a new tampon floating. It was beyond disgusting. The tidal wave cafe floors were dirty not swept or mopped. The floors under the lounge chairs had yesterday trash and sticky ice creams or drinks spills. HH needs to hire an outside cleaning crew at night and power wash the floors and those bathrooms. It's disgusting smell like urine. Oh and the lazy river if you look at the vent areas it's just filled with trashed it's so full the suction pump isn't working. And with the scare of electrocution lately with water leaving a water light just hanging on the side is danger hazard for anyone. read more

Hurricane Harbor Phoenix - $1.30 surcharge to prices be aware - Water Parks Near Me - Glendale, Arizona

It was awesome to have the waterpark opened back up. I think staff was a little undertrained, the reservation system was a total flop, and the park isn't really ready for the masses yet. The temperature reader walk through is very high tech and cool, A+ for that. The locker area is filled to the max with people everywhere. The eating lines are close still. And on a side note, as Diamond Elite Members we were really confused how the general public was sitting in the Diamond reserved sections and the Hassiandas in that area being sold and filled with non members before we had a chance to get one. The lines for the rides were still very packed and the kids running the lines were not very helpful. Lazy river was pretty nice and the flow was good. You only get one lap though. We will come back in about a month to see if stuff gets better. read more

This was a pleasant find during our trip to Phoenix for my daughter's birthday. Having lived in Arizona when I was younger, this park was not around so it was exciting to go, even as an adult. After a little driving out to what feels like the edge of no-where we were excited to see the tall slides above the surrounding homes. Upon arrival the line waiting to get in was not long and moved quickly once the gates opened. We quickly found the lockers and went out to adventure. We found there to be a nice variety of slides and smaller pools but several were closed. I'd say 60% open, the rest closed. This caused some disappointment but we quickly learned why they were closed. The water was still pretty cold as it's early in the season. This did not stop myself or my fearless 4 year old. We found s few open slides and made the best of a couple hours of the day. All the interactions with the staff were great and they were very helpful and friendly. After a few slides we decided to give the wave pool a go and were very disappointed. The wave pool only appears to actually create waves at the very corner of one side and not across the whole pool. This made it very uneventful but we decided to swim a bit anyways. After a short time it just became too cold in the water to spend much time in it, even with it being 90 degrees outside. We decided it was time to go and re-visit later in the season when the water warms. Short version: Overall great experience with staff and venue but it seems as almost of the attractions were closed and the water was too cold. Will return. read more

A lifeguard named Rachel gave some girls a lot of attitude at the top of the big kahuna and mammoth falls at around 12:50 pm because one of them didnt want to ride with a random group.

We already been to your Park and yes! You do allow coolers if we get a picnic pass. You dont even know your own policy? And your Park sucks! Everything was broken! The wave pool (you know the whole reason that people go there).. is broken. Apparently...all the workers say, It's been broken apparently for years! The Cabana that we paid for had no working ceiling fan! DIRTY!!! STicky stuff all over the furniture, cant you wash it down with a hose every now and then? The Lazy River was broken. Almost all the concession stands were shut down nobody was there. We paid $500 just to get in! And our experience sucked! First and last time I will ever go to Six Flags! Huge disappointment. read more

My child works at Hurricane Harbor and the horror stories I hear is absolutely outrageous. The thing that gets me the most is the things that they think are acceptable for example, last week they were short on lifeguards and pulled workers from the kitchen to work as lifeguards!! KIDS THAT DON'T HAVE CPR TRAINING OR ANY TRAINING AS A LIFEGUARD and they were forced to work as a fill in lifeguard WHAT WOULD HAVE HAPPENED IN THE CASE OF A DROWNING?! I told my child that if they ever try to force them to be a fill in lifeguard that I want them to walk off the job right then and there. I cannot fathom putting someone else's life in my child's hands when they don't have the proper training. They should be ashamed of themselves for thinking something of this nature is okay. There is no communication between management and workers. They are allowing certain employees to leave work without completing all of their work and forcing the employees that are left to do all the work that's left, work that should have been shared between employees. If there is a mess up in the kitchen they are being told that if another mess up happens EVERYONE in the kitchen will be getting a write up. Yet they didn't properly train anyone and expect there to be no mess ups, when majority of the employees are kids and this is their first time job. One shift they will allow employees to do certain things like eat for free while on shift or whatever else and then the next shift they're doing what they've been told was allowable only to be yelled at that if they do that again they will be written up. This establishment is a nightmare and I would steer clear as a customer & those wanting to apply. read more

Don't buy the season pass. They randomly close the park for weeks and when they r open they are only open during the busiest hours making it impossible to enjoy all the rides. They also always have at least 2 slides closed when open. So the season pass or even just a daily pass is a waste of fucking money. Like why are you charging us for an experience you aren't even able to provide?? read more
