Raging Waters in San Dimas doesn’t list a teacher discount. Where teachers save is on the group side: a group of 25 or more gets a discounted rate with a reservation, the park offers special pricing for schools, summer camps and youth groups, and school buses park free.
Raging Waters LA bills itself as California’s largest water park. It sits in San Dimas, where the Inland Empire, Orange County and Los Angeles meet, and it has over 50 rides, slides and attractions, plus a lazy river and a one-million-gallon wave pool. If you’re planning a class outing, the group terms are what decide what you pay.
How To Get The Raging Waters Teacher Discount
There isn’t a rate for teachers buying their own tickets. The one individual discount the park offers goes to active military members, veterans, doctors, nurses and first responders, who show a valid ID or proof of service or employment when they buy. Teachers aren’t on that list, so if you’re also a veteran, a nurse or a first responder, bring that ID instead.
The real savings come from a group. A group of 25 or more paying guests qualifies for a discounted group rate, and you get it by reserving in advance. Reserve at least 48 hours ahead, since bookings are first come, first served. Ask for the school group pricing when you reserve. To book, use the online booking on the Raging Waters groups page or call the main line at (909) 802-2200.
Smaller than 25? There’s no group rate for you, but tickets bought online in advance save time and money, and a group under 25 can skip the line the same way.
Planning A Class Trip
The group terms have a few deadlines worth putting on your calendar. A deposit is due when you reserve, and final payment is due three days before your visit. One person pays for the whole group on a single form of payment, and the park takes major credit cards and business checks but not personal checks. If weather changes your plans, contact Group Sales by 8:00 AM on the day of your visit. For any other change or cancellation, give them at least 48 hours’ notice.
Bus parking is the part that helps a school budget. Charter and school buses park free, with a drop-off area near the main entrance. Cars don’t get the same break, since paid parking is required for all guests, so chaperones who drive should plan on a parking fee.
Chaperones need admission too. The park requires a ticket for every guest who comes in, including adults who stay out of the water. Children age 2 and under get in free.
