Where a card says no price or no hours listed, the venue does not publish it. We would rather leave the gap than fill it with a guess. Prices come from each venue's own website, and we publish one only when the figure appears on the page we took it from. Tell us if we are missing one you know.
Common questions about outdoor pools and water parks in Orange County
How many outdoor pools and water parks are there in Orange County?

How did Mini Navigators choose these outdoor pools and water parks?
We list every one we have within 24 miles of the center of Orange County. Each is a published place with an address we geocoded and checked, and the business can claim its listing to keep the hours and prices current.
Do adults have to pay?
It varies more than you would expect, from free to full price, and it changes the cost of a visit by a lot when there are two of you. The price on each card is what it costs to get a child in. None of the places on this page publish a price, so call ahead before you rely on a figure from anywhere else.
Do I need to book ahead?
Yes at a water park in summer. A public pool is usually walk-in, but sessions can be capped. Where a venue publishes a booking page, the listing links straight to it.
What should I bring?
Swimwear, a towel, sun cream, water shoes and a padlock for a locker. Whatever else you need is in the notes beside the listings above.
What else is there to do with kids in Orange County?
Orange County has 10 categories of kid-friendly places on Mini Navigators, from playgrounds and museums to splash pads and zoos. The Orange County hub lists all of them.
