There’s something very specific about the first blast of California heat that makes a regular pool feel…small. Luckily, this weekend, one of SoCal’s biggest waterpark playgrounds is officially back.
A 22-acre waterpark opening for Memorial Day weekend
Hurricane Harbor Los Angeles is a 22‑acre water park in Valencia, sitting right next to Six Flags Magic Mountain. For this year, the key detail is timing: Hurricane Harbor is opening for the season over Memorial Day weekend, lining up its first splash exactly when the temperatures start to spike and everyone’s looking for a big and fun way to cool off.
Black Snake Summit and the wildest slides
The park’s star is the Black Snake Summit, a 75‑foot‑tall slide tower that feels like the beating heart of Hurricane Harbor. At that height, they’re among the tallest enclosed water slides in SoCal!
Backing it up are other attractions like:
- Bonzai Pipelines: you will step inside a capsule at the top of this record-breaking slide and get thrown-down at nearly 90 degrees to the splash landing waiting below.
- River Cruise: a chill lazy river for 1,300 feet of floating.
- Castaway Cove: a multi‑level splash playground built specifically for younger kids.
