Rainbow Splash Park

If you’ve ever been to a splash pad where the restrooms were an afterthought, this place will genuinely surprise you — people around here constantly bring up how clean everything is kept. The gated enclosure is a big deal for parents of toddlers, since you’re not constantly chasing someone toward the parking lot. Kids from 2 to 14 actually all seem to find something to do, which isn’t always the case at these kinds of spots. The shaded seating is legit useful on a hot Missouri summer day, and the staff have a reputation for being genuinely attentive rather than just standing around. Locals treat it like a go-to rather than a novelty, which tells you everything.
