It seems each day is hotter than the next, so a little bit of summer water fun goes a long way. Splash pads are water play areas with features such as showerheads and spray jets, and they’re perfect for cooling down the kiddos in the sweltering city heat.
Toronto’s splash pads are unsupervised, so be sure to bring a cold drink to enjoy while the kids splash about. And don’t forget sunscreen, towels, a hat, and water shoes.
