South Meridian's destination park combines a splash pad with a sand-and-water play area, dual zip lines, roller slides, and a climbing wall. The mix of wet and dry play makes it a favorite for mixed-age groups.

When to go. Peak summer highs in Meridian average 91°F. Mornings and late afternoons are far more comfortable than the middle of the day, and shade is worth planning around.
