Splash Adventure Water Park

Splash Adventure is Quiet Waters' water playground for young children: a wide, shallow pool, nowhere more than 12 inches deep, around a climbing structure with slides, tunnels, water curtains and a giant bucket that tips over every few minutes. Lifeguards watch it whenever it's open, and admission is just $6.

Good to know

Splash Adventure is closed for the season. The county usually opens it for spring break, then weekends in spring, every day in summer and weekends into late September. Children 12 and under need an adult (18+) with them, and dogs aren't allowed.

What it's like

The Splash Adventure pool at Quiet Waters Park with its colorful play structure, lounge chairs and palm trees — The pool slopes in from zero depth, so even toddlers can wade in.

The pool slopes in from the edge, so toddlers can sit in an inch of water while bigger kids run through the sprays in the middle. The play structure in the center has small slides, tunnels, turn valves, wheels and levers that send water in different directions, and a big bucket on top that slowly fills and then dumps onto everyone underneath. It's built for kids up to about 10; teenagers usually prefer the slides at C.B. Smith's Paradise Cove.

Funbrellas and shade

Big blue funbrella umbrellas with lounge chairs beside the Splash Adventure pool — The big blue funbrellas around the pool.

The big blue umbrellas around the pool are called funbrellas. Some are open to everyone, first come, first served, with lounge chairs underneath. Others can be reserved for a party: inside the water park, everyone at a reserved funbrella still needs admission. Broward's current rental fees are $50 on weekdays and $100 on weekends and holidays, with a $50 deposit; a small table with a small umbrella is $15. Reserve through WebTrac or by calling the park office.

Tips for a good day

Come at opening on hot weekends; by early afternoon the open funbrellas are taken. The park uses a lightning warning system: a long horn means everyone out of the water. If you paid for a full day and had less than two hours before the horn, ask for a rain check. Pack sunscreen, water shoes for the hot deck, a change of clothes and snacks for the shady tables just outside.
