Rollingcrest-Chillum Splash Pool
christadiserio said: Rollingcrest-Chillum Splash Pool is complete with water slides, sprays, family pool, lap pool and more. While there are water options for everyone to partake in, we recommend the splash pool for younger kids that don't need the thrill of super high slides. Their thrill will be in a more kid-friendly area and they'll thoroughly enjoy their day here!

Boyds, MDClaude Moore Recreation Center
christadiserio said: The Claude Moore Recreation Center indoor water park is one of the best kept secrets in the area - but now you know! Their leisure pool features a giant water slide, a children's play area with a mini slide, spinning vortex, lazy river and free-swim area. And when your family is over the water area, be sure to make your way over to the awesome climbing wall, as many kids love this, too.
Sterling, VACub Run RECenter
christadiserio said: This water park is ideal if you have both older and younger kids. Cub Run RECenter has an awesome and shallow lazy river with interactive water features along the way for the younger kids. For the older kids - they'll enjoy the kids pool that has both a 20-foot closed tube slide or a 30-foot open tube slide.
Chantilly, VANorth Arundel Aquatic Center
christadiserio said: The primary note for North Arundel Aquatic Center is that there's a two-hour play time per person, however, every minute here is worth it! This water park boasts a 134-foot water slide, splash down area, water buckets, waterfall, pre-school slide, vortex area and a poolside spa for adults. You read that correctly - a water feature that each person in the family can enjoy, whether they're older or younger. Pro note: Kids must be 3 & up and totally potty trained to swim here.

Chantilly, VAFreedom Aquatics & Swim Center
