Oasis Water Park: rules, tips, and how to make the most of included access
Oasis Water Park at Arizona Grand Resort & Spa is a 7-acre water park with included access for resort guests via resort-fee wristbands; amenities include eight‑story thrill slides, a wave pool, lazy river, splash deck, children’s pool and a large hot tub. Follow the park’s rules (no outside food or pool toys, adults must accompany kids under 12, a 48-inch height minimum for Slide Canyon Tower) and get wristbands at check-in so you can use the park from noon on arrival day and after check-out on departure day.

How included access works
Access to Oasis Water Park is provided through the resort fee: wristbands are included with a confirmed room booking and the number of wristbands depends on your room type. Guests receive wristbands at check‑in; if you need additional wristbands or day passes for non‑registered visitors, those are handled separately (availability varies).
On your arrival day you may use Oasis as early as 12:00 PM even if your suite is not yet ready; on your checkout day you may return to the park after the 11:00 AM checkout — staff can store luggage with Bell if you need a place to leave bags.
- Get wristbands at front desk during check-in
- Arrival-day access typically begins at 12:00 PM
- You may remain in the park after 11:00 AM on checkout day; store bags with Bell Staff
| Item | Where to get / notes |
|---|---|
| Wristbands | Front desk at check-in (included via resort fee) |
| Extra/day passes or cabanas | Available on select dates via ResortPass or resort front desk |
| Luggage storage on checkout day | Bell Staff can hold bags so you can use the park |
Park rules you should know
Arizona Grand posts specific park rules for Oasis: only sealed bottles of water are allowed inside the gates and outside food or beverage is not permitted. Children's water wings and swim vests are allowed and the resort provides swim vests to rent at no charge; pool toys and motorized scuba scooters are not allowed.
Safety and supervision rules include: all children under 12 must be accompanied by an adult in the water park, and Slide Canyon Tower (the thrill slides) requires riders to be at least 48 inches tall. Follow lifeguard instructions and posted signage for slide and pool-specific rules.
- Only sealed bottled water allowed; no outside food/beverage
- Children under 12 must be accompanied by an adult
- 48" height minimum for Slide Canyon Tower rides
- Swim vests/children’s water wings allowed; pool toys and motorized scooters prohibited
| Rule | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| No outside food/beverage | Health & safety inside water-park gates |
| Children under 12 accompanied | Supervision requirement for safety |
| Height limit 48" for slides | Ensures rider safety on thrill slides |
Hours, seasonality and pool temps
Oasis Water Park operates seasonally; the resort posts planned closures (for example, a December closure window is noted for year-end slide maintenance). Pools and the water park are heated to the low 80s year‑round, so water is typically warm even in cooler months. For exact dates of seasonal closures or slide work, check with the resort before travel.
Other resort pools (Sedona, Camelback, Mountainside) run daily from 6:00 AM to 10:00 PM; the Adult Only Lap Pool is open daily from 7:00 AM to 10:00 PM. Hours for Oasis attractions can vary by season and special events, so confirm current hours at check-in.
- Oasis is subject to seasonal closures and occasional slide maintenance
- Resort pools heated to low 80s year-round
- Sedona, Camelback, Mountainside pools: 6:00 AM–10:00 PM; Adult Only Lap Pool: 7:00 AM–10:00 PM
| Pool/Feature | Typical hours / note |
|---|---|
| Resort pools (Sedona/Camelback/Mountainside) | 6:00 AM–10:00 PM |

What to bring and on-site rentals
Pack standard pool items: swimsuits, reef‑safe sunscreen, sun shirts, and a hat. Only sealed bottles of water are allowed past the park gates, so plan to buy drinks at Oasis Bar & Grill or bring sealed water from your room or a store. Towels, reclining loungers and standard seating are provided free of charge by the resort.
If you prefer extras (cabana, extra floatation or specialty rentals), inquire at the front desk or park office — the resort provides basic swim vests at no charge. The park disallows personal pool toys and motorized devices, so don’t pack snorkels or inflatable rafts expecting to use them in Oasis.
- Bring sealed bottled water or buy at Oasis Bar & Grill
- Sunscreen (reef-safe recommended) and sun-protective clothing
- Towels and loungers are provided; cabana rentals available on request
| Item | Provided by resort? |
|---|---|
| Towels | Yes, complimentary |
| Reclining loungers and seating | Yes, complimentary |
| Swim vests for kids | Available to rent at no charge |
Tips to make the most of included access
Arrive early to secure loungers and to enjoy softer sun and shorter lines on popular slides. If you have a late arrival but want full park time, remember arrival-day access often begins at 12:00 PM even though room check-in is 4:00 PM. On checkout day you can return to the park after 11:00 AM — plan for luggage storage with Bell Staff if needed.
Split activities across mornings and late afternoons to avoid midday heat in summer or monsoon storms; use Marketplace Café for quick coffee and snacks or Oasis Bar & Grill for poolside food and drinks so you don’t leave the park area. If your group needs more sleeping space, consider suites such as Deluxe Suite, Suite, or Grand Suite to match your party size — wristband allocation depends on room type, so verify counts at booking or check-in.
- Use arrival-day (from 12:00 PM) and checkout-day access to maximize water-park time
- Visit slides first when lines are shortest; save the lazy river for midday relaxation
- Order poolside from Oasis Bar & Grill or grab quick items at Marketplace Café
| Strategy | Why it helps |
|---|---|
| Early arrival to park (noon) | Shorter lines, more shade availability |
| Alternate pool/park times | Avoid peak sun and heat |
| Confirm wristband count at check-in | Ensures your whole party has access |
