When the Utah heat really kicks in, I’ve learned there’s one simple trick for surviving summer with kids: add water. Whether you’ve got toddlers who could spend hours running through a splash pad or older kids begging to cannonball into a pool, getting out of the house and cooling off is a win for everyone—including mom and dad. We’ve spent plenty of summers checking out different spots around the state, so I put together this list of some of the best splash pads and pools in Utah to make planning your next adventure a whole lot easier. Grab the swimsuits, sunscreen, and plenty of snacks, and let’s make the most of summer!
