A water slide with twists & turns, tumble buckets, vortex and current channel - the kids are going to be in for such a great time. The best part is, they keep the indoors heated nicely, so your family will never get cold when they set foot out of the water.
Cub Run RECenter
This water park is ideal if you have both older and younger kids. Cub Run RECenter has an awesome and shallow lazy river with interactive water features along the way for the younger kids. For the older kids - they'll enjoy the kids pool that has both a 20-foot closed tube slide or a 30-foot open tube slide.
Claude Moore Recreation Center
The Claude Moore Recreation Center indoor water park is one of the best kept secrets in the area - but now you know! Their leisure pool features a giant water slide, a children's play area with a mini slide, spinning vortex, lazy river and free-swim area. And when your family is over the water area, be sure to make your way over to the awesome climbing wall, as many kids love this, too.
Germantown Indoor Swim center
Imagine faux palm trees, waterfalls, rocky areas, slides upon slides, hydrotherapy pools, kids pools and more. The entire family will love this place! This is truly a place for kids and adults of all ages.
Rollingcrest-Chillum Splash Pool
Rollingcrest-Chillum Splash Pool is complete with water slides, sprays, family pool, lap pool and more. While there are water options for everyone to partake in, we recommend the splash pool for younger kids that don't need the thrill of super high slides. Their thrill will be in a more kid-friendly area and they'll thoroughly enjoy their day here!
North Arundel Aquatic Center
The primary note for North Arundel Aquatic Center is that there's a two-hour play time per person, however, every minute here is worth it! This water park boasts a 134-foot water slide, splash down area, water buckets, waterfall, pre-school slide, vortex area and a poolside spa for adults.
