Keeping it cool: Our top 3 water parks

Water parks are a great way to find relief from the blazing heat of the lingering SWFL summer. Our top three picks are:

Sun Splash Family Waterpark in Cape Coral has over 14 acres of wet and wild fun, including a slide with a five-story drop. Open weekends through September.

Sun-N-Fun Lagoon in Naples offers a lazy river, age-based water play areas and five slides. Open through September and school vacation days.

Our third pick for water fun is the miles of public access Gulf beaches in SWFL. Open daily and no cost; bring your own flippers and floats.
