What to expect
The things that decide a trip with small children — a toilet, some shade, somewhere to sit — are exactly what listings usually leave out. Across the 2 pads in Aventura:
The resort water park at the JW Marriott Miami Turnberry sells day passes from $59 for five waterslides, a lazy river, a FlowRider surf simulator and a zero-entry lagoon pool with a kids' playscape. It is the metro's premium splurge option and operates all year.
Aventura's city-run SplashPad is a true zero-depth play area with a castle water feature, cannons and waterfall structures, and no standing water anywhere on the deck. Entry is free for residents, while non-residents pay a day fee on top of park admission.
