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 Maryland Heights:
A modest jet-style pad that Maryland Heights keeps running later into the night than nearly any other splash spot in the metro. It is the free neighborhood counterpart to the city's paid Aquaport water park across town.
Maryland Heights' municipal water park offers a FlowRider surf simulator, lazy river, flume slides, and a Cardinals-themed kids area at small-city prices ($7 resident adults, kids 3 and under free). Nonresident admission roughly triples the rate.
On site: toilets on site, drinking water, playground alongside, parking
