When to go. Peak summer highs in Cincinnati average 87°F — warm enough for a splash pad through most of the season without being punishing at midday.
How long it's open. Roughly 17 weeks a year, from May to August. Seasons shift year to year and municipal pads often close early for maintenance, so check before a long drive.
