Cool down this summer without having to go too far. We have some great water parks right here in South Florida that you can enjoy with the whole family.
We have some cool gems in Miami. Let's start with Zoo Miami. Turns out they aren't just known for their zoo. They also have a water area called the Splash Pad. Kids will get to enjoy 28 water-themed activities like cannons, waterfalls, and touch-activated rods spraying water. Now, if Zoo Miami is too far South for you, try JW Marriott's Tidal Cove Water Park. Everyone in the family can enjoy a bunch of waterslides, a lazy river, and a surfing simulator. Tidal Cove Water Park is in Aventura.
Moving a bit more north in Broward and Palm Beach you have C.B. Smith Park's Paradise Cove. It has a five-story tall water slide, a lazy river, and various playgrounds. Rapids Water Park in West Palm Beach has 42 attractions including thrill rides, a kid's area, and a lazy river. Finally, if you haven't checked it out head to Coconut Cove Water Park in Boca Raton. You'll get to enjoy two four-story water slides, a children's water playground, a lazy river and more.
Don't be stuck at home, make it a water park day for the entire family.
