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 Grandview:
A step up from a free spray pad, Meadowmere charges admission ($6 for kids, $9 for adults) and delivers water cannons, a giant dump bucket, and small water slides. It fills the gap between a sprayground and a full pool day.
Grandview's pirate-themed pad puts kids on a ship's bow with water cannons, a whale tail, palm-tree sprays, and a treasure chest worked into the deck. Note the sprayers only run on days that hit 75 degrees.
