Arroyo Grande
Just a short drive from Arroyo Grande
or Pismo Beach is the perfect place
to enjoy summer fun with family and
friends. Along with the scenic Lopez
Lake, marina, camping, and picnic ar-
eas, are the Vista Lago Adventure Park
and Mustang Waterpark, filled with fun
and exciting challenges for everyone.
Giant 600-foot waterslide
Mustang Waterpark’s two winding
600-foot waterslides, and giant half-
pipe Stampede have been popular for
decades. Add in an awesome kiddie
pool, and gorgeous cabanas to rent
while you relax and this becomes
much more than the waterpark you
remember from the 80s. The park has
been fully renovated and is always a fun
time with certified lifeguards on duty
for everyone’s safety.
Start on a hilltop overlooking
Lopez Lake and speed down a 600-foot
waterslide. Splash down into the pools
at the bottom of the slides then do it all
over again! The park has two curving
waterslides for exciting rides.
Ride the Awesome Stampede,
plummeting 38 feet down one side of
the giant half-pipe in an inner tube and
38 feet up the other side, then repeat
the wild ride backward! Take the ride
yourself or go in a double tube with a
buddy.
Little ones can safely slide and
splash in two inviting wading pools
for kids under 48 inches in height,
three mini-slides, and two waterfall
mushrooms. Parents can splash with
their youngsters or relax in the sun on
the deck while the kids have fun in the
water and are safely entertained for
hours.
Zipline over the lake
Just around the corner from the
waterpark is Vista Lago Adventure
Park, where you can test your agility
on the ropes course and zipline over
the lake!
The park features over 50 ele-
ments varying in difficulty, bringing
out your secret Ninja warrior. Feel
the rush of air and excitement on
any of the three zip lines totaling
over 1800 feet, including two high-
speed zip lines over the lake, or
lose your stomach on The Ledge, a
45-foot free fall Quick Jump.
Vista Lago is great for birthday
parties, corporate team bonding,
and a unique date! Not such a
thrill seeker? Enjoy great food and
beverages at the Sipline Bar & Grill,
or hang out and play games on the
viewing deck! Live music every Sat-
urday from 1-4 p.m. always brings a
fun crowd.
Get the Park Hopper Pass
Both parks have teamed up to
offer a Park Hopper Pass providing
a day at both parks for a discounted
price! Whether you’re planning a
special event or a surprise, you will
surely have a lifetime of memories!
