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 4 pads in Fishers:
Memorial Day weekend through Labor Day weekend · 10:00 AM - 8:00 PM daily

Billericay's pad features moving spray pieces, tipping buckets and mounted water guns, with umbrella tables, shade sails and a pavilion supplying more built-in shade than most area pads. Three playground areas, ball diamonds and 1.75 miles of trails share the park.
Seasonal, during museum operating season · During Conner Prairie museum hours

River Crossing is a Civil War-themed water play area inside the Conner Prairie living-history museum, so splashing comes bundled with a full day of exhibits and outdoor experiences. Access requires regular museum admission rather than a separate water fee.

These ADA-accessible fountains in the heart of downtown Fishers double as a public plaza, and the jets light up after dark for an evening show. It is an easy add-on to a Nickel Plate District dinner or concert night.

Holland Park's in-ground jets fire in shifting patterns that keep kids guessing where the next sprinkle will pop up. Shade trees, benches and a covered picnic area sit close by within one of Fishers' most established parks.
