People looking for a quick dip or dramatic splash have plenty of options at Wet 'n' Wild Palm Springs. Not only does the water park feature two chutes that send riders on a high-speed trip from the peak of a seven-story tower, it also harbors a massive, 800,000-gallon wave pool and a relaxing 600-foot lazy river. This is because Wet 'n' Wild Palm Springs strives to cool off people of all types—whether they're looking for an adrenaline boost or hoping to work on their driftwood impression.

The water park stretches onto land, too. Lounge chairs let visitors soak up the sun while snacking on ice cream and pizza, and canopy-covered cabanas wait for groups seeking a private place to regroup between rides.
