As soon as that summer heat strikes in Chicagoland, we are on the hunt for some awesome summer activities. There is nothing more refreshing, than that cool splash of water when the sun is shining. I will admit, sometimes the pools are crowded and tackling it with my youngest doesn’t sound ideal. That is why the perfect summer day is at the splash pad!
When your kids are looking to get wet, heading to a splash pad or spray playground is the perfect solution on a hot day. With spray features, buckets, and geysers they provide fun for all ages. We’ve rounded up dozens of free and fee-based splash pads in the Chicago suburbs that are sure to be a hit with your kids!
