Staying cool is essential when visiting Arizona in the summer months. One way to evade the scorching desert sun is to visit a water park, and the state has several. In addition to public water parks, travelers can enjoy the use of a private water park at select hotels. Hotels with water parks in Arizona have features appropriate for all ages and are free for guests to use.
