Summer only lasts for two months (give or take). That is very little time to squeeze in as much fun and memories as you possibly can.
Our kids are teenagers now. Our daughter is in college, works two part time jobs, has a serious boyfriend and spends a lot of time with her friends. We have not been able to do one fun thing with her this summer. She’s always too busy.
Our son is keeping busy these days too. Most afternoons he can be found working with our local handyman.
Gone are the days where we could all go to the beach together, amusement parks, the zoo, county fair and the water park. Thankfully we were able to make memories at these places when our kids were little.
They used to love our local water park. We had such a great time every time we went. It was only an hour away too, which was ideal. Plus my father and stepmother lived only 10 minutes away so it was great to stop by and visit with them too.
Water parks are a fun destination for many families. Sadly, it’s hard to enjoy a water park when you live in an area that gets bitter cold winters, such as the Northeast.
Playmobil has a way to extend your water park memories with their new Water Park with Slides Playset.
Take a break from the summer heat with a visit to the Water Park with Slides. With two jumbo slides, one regular and one for tubing, kids can slip and slide their way down to the wave pool at the bottom. The octopus in the middle spins, creating fun ripples throughout the pool. When ready to take a ride down the slide, use the park’s pulley to pull the tube up to the top of the slide. Just be sure to wait until the pink octopus gives you a green smile for heading down the slide. Set includes two adult figure, one child figure, multi-level structure with slides, tube, life ring, and lots of other accessories. Dimensions: 21.7 x 15.7 x 15.7 in (LxWxH).
My husband was REALLY into Playmobil when he was younger. I had a few small sets, but nothing compared to my husband. He had a lot of them and he always talks of them fondly. He has so many great memories of playing with his Playmobil sets.
Even as an adult, whenever we visit Toys R Us you’ll always find him checking out what’s new in the Playmobil section. He’s just a big kid at heart.
Playmobil’s Water Park with Slides Playset has features found at many water parks including a slide, a pool, and a “half pipe” (I’m not sure what other people call it – at our water park it’s called a half pipe).
I received the set to review.
My husband couldn’t wait to put it together. He was like a “kid in a candy shop.” I let him put it together himself because I know he enjoys it (our son just rolled his eyes at me when I asked if he wanted to help).
It took about an hour to put together. It probably could have been done in a half hour but my husband kept getting distracted and one of our cats kept batting at the pieces on the table, dropping them on to the floor (then we’d have to crawl on the floor to find them all).
The set contains everything you need, including a raft, three people (two adults, one child) and a life preserver, just in case someone has a hard time swimming.
You can add water to the pool for extra fun.
This toy can be played with both inside and out. Just be careful not to spill the water when you are pouring it out.
The red octopus spins around which causes ripples in the pool (and more fun for the people).
I like that they put so much detail into this set – right down to the sign that bans food and arm floaties from the slide and shows the people how they need to sit to use the slide.
This is a fun set that can be enjoyed long after the bathing suits have been packed away. I imagine playing with this set in the dead of winter will give kids (and parents) a little bit of summer fun on a cold winter day.
Look for this set where ever Playmobil toys are sold. The set retails for $59.99.

When we went camping with friends last summer the campsite put up a huge inflatable water slide….it was really high (!!) and our friends’ 4 year old was totally fearlessly, running up the steps and zipping down the slide. She has a great time and I’m sure she would like this toy too.
