Spray ‘N Play

This is a great place to bring the kids during the summer ! The parents can relax a little while the kids run around and get sprayed ! The only downfall is when all the camps go in the morning and it’s packed but otherwise I love the spray n play !

I bring my toddler here and love it! Such a fun place to burn off some energy, stay comfortable on a hot day and it’s cheap at $ 3 per person. The only thing I wish they didn’t have were water fountains that turn off then then back on and spray your kid in the face. For a toddler that doesn’t understand it’s quite scary but we just stay away from that area.

Fun spray park with seating. Great for parties but more geared toward little kids, under 5. We prefer DeerSpring in Deerfield since they have slides and a pool. This place is flat with different sprinklers.

Water, sprinklers, outdoors on a hot summer’s day. Yes, yes, and yes.
So glad this place is close to our home. We have held a birthday here before and attended friend and family birthdays here as well. The place is great for family with kids under the age of 13. The area is gated so you can keep your kids within your eyesight and they have tables for you to keep your stuff and bring a drink and snack.
My family especially likes it here because our daughter with special needs can play with anything and anyone.

A great place for the kids on a summer day. If the kids don’t enjoy being sprayed by the water they can still play. There are a couple of areas within SnP that the kids can at. One has water fountains that the kids can use to put water in buckets supplied by the BG PK Dist. The other one is just a playground type area with numbers that the kids can move and a bubble to look through.
With the entire facility fenced in, it makes it a great place to take multiple kids.

This is a fun place to cool off, especially for kids too young to swim. They have lots of different sprayers/​sprinkers and a water table type toy that never seems to be working quite right, but the kids don’t care. Our toddler really enjoys it. It’s pretty cheap, especially during the last two hours when its only $ 1 to get in. But, keep in mind everyone pays, even adults who don’t plan to get wet. They have plenty of seating and shady spots for parents or tired kids.

This is a great place to bring my small children, especially with their twilight hours — $ 1 entrance during the last two hours of the day. They can run around, get soaking wet, and I can talk with my friends. Great way to beat the heat in the summer! I do find the $ 3 pp entrance fee too steep during the day with three kids and an adult.

I took my nephew last year (he was 2).We had a good time, he still remembers it and is looking forward to going there.
They have a huge playset at the Bush parkway. A very nice picnic area, you can bring in your own food and enjoy. Staff are very cheery, well mannered and kind. I over heard a staff (a guy) was so kind to a little girl who wandered into the office and was scared!
As much as my nephew is, I too am looking forward to going here this year.

Run by the Buffalo Grove Park District, this splash pad opened in June ’07. (Splash pads don’t have standing water; but instead spraying and shooting water).
It features over 20 water toys, sprays, mists and geysers. Great place to cool off esp. for kids that don’t yet know how to swim. Thus, it’s geared for kids aged 2 – 6. The kids I saw had a blast running around, playing with the shovels and pails, and the interactive water table. (Note: the surface is concrete. Good idea to wear swim shoes, or Crocs).
There is a shaded picnic area. You can bring your own lunch or buy snacks there. When kids are tired of playing in water, they can run around in the adjacent playground, in Busch Grove Community Park.
For kids and adults, it’s $ 3 admission (12 mos. & under = free). Open June 1 — Sept. 1.
