If you've got a house full of kids and are looking to beat the anticipated record-breaking heat this summer, consider snagging Costco's latest outdoor offering before it's gone. The wholesale retailer is selling the ultimate at-home water park for just $380. For something that could entertain kids all summer long, we'd say it's worth the investment.
Costco's H2OGO! Whales 'n Waves Kids Inflatable Mega Water Park suits ages five and up, and comes equipped with a blower that is said to inflate the 17' x 13' x 10' water park in just two minutes. The inflatable water park weighs in at 62 pounds, and with the included bag, it can be stored on a shelf in the garage from fall through spring before it's taken out for more water play next year!
Now for the fun stuff, the inflatable includes two built-in sprayers for an all-out water war, a large splash pool for young kiddies and a mesh-enclosed waterslide shaped like a whale that'll look like they survived the belly of the beast whenever they slip out.
Reviewers on Costco's website are calling it the "best summer purchase."
"WOW! This water park has given my kids endless hours of fun so far!! The experience was fantastic from start to finish - so easy," one reviewer said. "Easy enough to put together, but not quite as easy as the listing for the product states. Kids had a blast playing with it the first time and is a really quality product for price," another wrote.
Since this specific water park is offered exclusively on Costco's website, it will require a Costco membership to purchase. However, if you're not ready to take the membership plunge just yet, we've found similar alternatives that are shoppable on Walmart and Amazon.
Editor's note: Children should never, ever be left unattended at a pool, even an inflatable one.
