If water parks or public pools aren’t what you are looking for this summer, keep in mind other sources of entertainment that can have the kids jumping for joy this season. Families can avoid the long lines, huge crowds, and extra spending on food and concessions by considering making a waterpalooza of a day at one’s very own backyard. Skip the family day passes and rent exhilarating water slides, kids of all ages can enjoy for those long summer days.
Top 5 popular water slide options for your family:

Families can celebrate in style and manage a cost-effective day with hours of fun. When you rent, you don’t have to worry about those long lines and separating the family because of age limitations. Before you rent you can talk to a local water slide vendor and purchase the perfect water slide that will fit all your family essentials. Also, don’t forget how time consuming packing up the car and getting everyone settled can be. A perk to renting is that you don’t have to go anywhere. You can sit back and watch the kids play as you sip on your refreshing beverage in the comfort of your own home.
So even though a date out to your local water park may seem like a splendor of an idea, in hindsight it could end up costing you more than you initially wanted to spend this summer. Remember those summer days can feel like an eternity when the kids are home, so don’t wipe out this summer and consider all your options.
