It may be hard to believe, but summer is almost over. With the back to school rush comes a desire to fill what remains of summer with a few more fabulous outings and adventures – preferably ones that will lower your temperature during the dog days of summer. Here are the best ways to keep cool until it’s time to head back to school.

Make a splash at a local splash pad

Want to enjoy the water but can't bear to spend another afternoon vacuuming sand out of your car or carrying around pool noodles and goggles? Make a splash at your local splash pad. These water filled playgrounds cater to kids of all ages and their parents. Just bring a towel and sunscreen and start splashing!
