Winter Park's free splash pad sits in a 3.28-acre park in the historic Hannibal Square district, next to the city's Community Center. True to its name, tree cover and a pavilion give parents relief from the sun while kids run the sprayers.

When to go. Peak summer highs in Winter Park average 93°F. Mornings and late afternoons are far more comfortable than the middle of the day, and shade is worth planning around.
