Splash! La Mirada Regional Aquatics Center – Review and Giveaway!

SPLASH! LA MIRADA REGIONAL AQUATICS CENTER REVIEW AND GIVEAWAY!

Splash! La Mirada’s Regional Aquatics Center

Do you have a fish in your family?  You know, the type of child that asks to go swimming all day, every day.  I have two of them.  Field Trip Girl and Field Trip Boy are avid swimmers.

Field Trip Girl (2 yrs. old) & Field Trip Boy (4 yrs. old) in 2011.

Field Trip Boy especially likes to go on water slides.  He was born a thrill seeker.  So much so, that at the ripe old age two, he cried for hours after discovering he was too small to go on a certain water slide.

Well, happily those days are over!  Now we are going to Splash! La Mirada Regional Aquatics Center in La Mirada, CA to celebrate my son’s new growth spurt!

While at Splash!, he gets to rides all the water slides that he wants because he is officially over 48 inches tall; the minimum height requirement to ride the largest water slides.

Summertime fun at Splash! includes a family-fun “Buccaneer Bay” which combines the excitement of a water park with pirate themed features throughout.  Buccaneer Bay features a flowing river channel, three water slides, a children’s interactive play structure, zero-depth beach entry and two spray pad areas.

Pirate themed elements include: a marooned ship, a dramatic skull rock, shade canopies that resemble sails, cannon walls, wharf plank benches, and crow’s nest.

Last summer we visited Splash! for the first time and had a blast.  My daughter especially enjoyed the lazy river and my son played on the smaller water slides which are designed for little children.
