Day passes are available for non-resort guests, with discounted rates for Arizona residents. The park offers food and beverage options on-site, though prices are typical resort-level. Life jackets are provided free of charge for young swimmers.

Seasonal Notes

Open seasonally from approximately late March through early October, with extended hours during summer months (June-August). The park may have reduced hours or close during cooler spring and fall months. Always call ahead to confirm operating hours, especially in shoulder seasons.
