Big Surf is a water parks in Tempe, Arizona. It was operated by Golfland Entertainment, Inc., along with WaterWorld in west Phoenix and Mesa Golfland SunSplash in Mesa. WaterWorld was sold after the 2008 season and is now Wet 'n' Wild. After the 2009 season, Golfland Entertainment Inc. gave up the lease and announced the park's closure after 40 years of operation. Inland Oceans Inc., who owns the property, decided to reopen and manage it in 2010.

Big Surf Tip #1: Season passes are good at Big Surf only, and are not accepted at the other waterparks in the Valley of the Sun. All three waterparks in the Phoenix area are independently operated as of the 2010 summer season.
