Summer is here, and that means it's time to cool off at the water park! If you're planning a trip to the water park with your kids, there are a few things you need to know to make sure everyone has a safe and fun time.

In this blog post, we'll provide you with an ultimate guide to having fun at a water park with kids. We'll cover everything from what to wear to what to bring, as well as some tips for staying safe and having the best possible experience.

What to wear to a water park

The most important thing to wear to a water park is a swimsuit that fits well and is comfortable. You'll also want to wear water shoes to protect your feet from the hot concrete and to prevent slipping. Since you are going to be in the sun for a long time, be sure to wear sunscreen, a hat, and sunglasses too.  

I always pack swimsuit coverups too in case we want to leave the water slides and pools for a bit without completely changing from our swimsuits.

What to bring to a water park

In addition to your swimsuit and water shoes, there are a few other things you'll want to bring to the water park:

• A large beach towel
• An insulated water bottle
• Snacks or money for concession stand snacks
  
• Sunscreen
• A hat
• Sunglasses
• A waterproof bag to store your belongings
• A first-aid kit
• A change of clothes  
• Shop my list of favorite water park gear on Amazon!
