When you need some serious splash time head to Water Ways in Julian. This family-friendly water park has activities geared towards all ages.
Grab a tube and slide down the winding hillside slide. This epic water journey empties out into the lazy river below.
The lazy river twists and turns on a big loop through the park. There's nothing more refreshing on a hot summer day than this river ride.
The park also has spiraling body slides that end with a huge plunge.
Take a refreshing dip in the junior Olympic-sized pool. Jump right in or climb on even more water slides for a thrilling trip into the water.
While Water Ways has plenty of big-sized fun, Kiddie Island is the ideal spot for pint-sized patrons. Shallow wading pools and cheerful zoo animals create an engaging play space.
The large elephant is actually a slide for the smaller kids! They'll love zooming down the back of this jungle animal.
