About Each Park
Golfland Sunsplash
Arizona
Golfland Sunsplash in Mesa brings together two classic summer activities: water park fun and mini golf in one sprawling complex. This longtime Arizona favorite has been keeping families cool since the 1980s, and it shows in all the best ways. The water park side features a solid collection of body slides and tube slides that range from mild to wild, plus a decent-sized swimming pool for those who just want to float and relax. The kids area is particularly well-done, with smaller slides and interactive water features that keep the little ones busy for hours. What really sets this place apart is the combination factor. You can spend the morning racing down slides, grab lunch at their snack bar, then challenge the family to 18 holes of mini golf when you need a break from the water. The mini golf courses here are actually pretty elaborate, with themed holes and water features that make them more interesting than your typical roadside course. The park works best for families with kids of various ages since there's legitimately something for everyone to do. Teens will find enough thrills on the bigger slides, while parents can appreciate not having to shuttle between multiple venues.

Arizona
Arizona Grand Resort's Oasis Water Park packs a surprising amount of fun into its seven acres right in the middle of Phoenix. This isn't your typical massive water park – it's more like a really impressive resort pool area that happens to have some serious water attractions. The centerpiece is a multi-level water playground with slides, tipping buckets, and climbing features that keeps kids entertained for hours. Adults get their thrills on the serpentine water slides that wind around artificial rock formations, designed to blend with Arizona's desert landscape. The lazy river here is genuinely relaxing, winding past palm trees and waterfalls while you float on tubes. What really sets Oasis apart is how well it integrates with the resort experience. You can grab drinks from the poolside bar, order food without leaving your lounge chair, and the whole setup feels more upscale than your average water park. The wave pool creates decent waves for body surfing, though it's not massive. Families with younger kids will love the shallow play areas and smaller slides, while teens can still find enough action on the bigger attractions. Since you're staying at the resort anyway, you can easily pop back to your room for a break or nap, which is huge when you're dealing with Arizona heat. The park gets busy during peak season and weekends, so stake out your spot early if you want prime poolside real estate. Cabana rentals are worth it if you're planning to spend the whole day –…
