Hottest Spots for Cooling Down--Water Parks and Splash Pads
A Little Bang for your Buck
Spend a little money to get into these water play areas and enjoy a little bit more excitement for the kids. These spots may also be good for children who still aren’t skilled in their swimming or for parents who are a little wary of those bigger water parks. These are guarded well and generally safer than those mega water attractions with kids of all ages running everywhere (including adults). In this category, there are colorful water playgrounds and pools with some water slides. They are best suited for children ages 3 to about 10.
