Six Flags Hurricane Harbor, Santa Clarita

Hurricane harbor is great when it's not too busy. I recommend going on a weekday toward the end of August while everyone else is going back to school. We bought some waterproof fanny packs on Amazon 2 for $8 to hold our phones and keys with us in the water. If you buy one there they cost $35 and are only large enough to hold one cell phone. They have life vests where the tube rental is located and they are free, just try to get there early because they run out of the kid's sizes often. Last tip to have a great trip is wear your swimsuit under a dress so you don't have to go inside the gross changing room. If you're a guy just wear a t-shirt and your swim trunks. You'll have a better time if you don't have to deal with the changing rooms.

I always have fun there with my family. If you want a good area to sit in (with shade), you have to be there right when they open. Their funnel cakes are amazing and I'd recommend getting the chicken strips. I wish there were more food options and more replaces to buy food because it's brutal to stand in those lines on a hot day! Also, 3 of my nieces came home with a staff infection and I've been seeing other posts on FB showing others having the same outcome. I'd recommend bring disinfectant wipes, etc. just to be safe.
