Flip through to find our faves from coast to coast.
The Dinosaur Place Splash Pad – Montville, Ct
This is the ultimate splash spot for the dino-loving kiddo. As if a park full of dinosaurs isn’t cool enough, The Dinosaur Place also has New England’s largest splash pad. This zero-depth water playground has over 30 dinosaur-themed features including Tyrannosaurus Rex and Velociraptor water cannons, a “flying” Pteranodon you can control with sensors, a dinosaur “ribcage” waterfall, and more (Psst! There’s also a separate play area that’s perfect for younger kids.).
