It's been a hot and rainy summer so far! Have you visited any local waterparks yet? We've been members at Six Flag's Great Adventure in Jackson, NJ for almost 4 years now! We love Hurricane Harbor, especially on a hot day! But with the random thunderstorms and weeks full of rain, we're constantly searching for some indoor fun!
Here's a list of local waterparks for our Philly moms:

Big Kahuna's New Jersey is an indoor/outdoor waterpark that offers tons of fun! One of the more affordable parks, our girls love this one! It's about 20 minutes from Philly!
CoCo Key Water Resort is another smaller waterpark! It's located in The Hotel ML in Mount Laurel, NJ.
The FunPlex's SplashPlex is a must! Spend the day enjoying the lazy river and the many water slides!

Diggerland USAÂ is the first construction themed park and their waterpark is fantastic! It is outdoors, so be sure to check the weather before you head out. You won't regret this one!
Clementon Park was one park we looked forward to when I was younger! It's the perfect size for younger kids or larger groups!Â
Dorney Park's Wild Water Country is one the best waterparks around!Â

Sesame Place is the place to be during the summer! You'll spend the day exploring all of the splash zones (don't forget Count's Place, it has the best water play area!).Â
