What to do at Burlington Splash Pads?
Who doesn’t love water fun?!? Here are a few fun tips when you are going to Burlington Splash Pads!
- Make sure you wear the appropriate clothes, a bathing suit and water shoes are great choices! Do not forget your towels, sunscreen, a hat, and a change of clothes.
- Splash pads offer different water features like spraying fountains, sprinklers, and water jets! Have fun with it! Make it a game, like musical chairs, every time the water sprinkler goes off run to another, and freeze!
- Bring water toys! Beach balls, water guns, inflatable toys. There are reusable water balloons on Amazon, take them with you! There is no mess, and endless fun!
- Have water races, with your water shoes on! Play water volley ball, and Marco Polo is always a water fun game!
- Pack a picnic! Playing in the water can make you hungry, however, you don’t want to leave just to eat. Take some time to refuel and then get back to it!
- Don’t forget to bring a waterporrof camera. Your kids will love taking pictures and videos they can look back at!

Adults are free with a paying child admission.
