The Wave Waterpark
Vista, CA

By Punita Patel
This city-run water park packs a flowrider surf simulator, a lazy river, slides and a gentle zero-depth area for the littlest swimmers into one friendly spot. Smaller and more manageable than the mega-parks — great for families with young kids. Check the seasonal calendar, as hours shift with the school year.
