Splash the day away at Jungle Jim’s

There are hours of fun to be had at Jungle Jim’s, situated just outside the main town of Rehoboth Beach, and you could even find yourself spending the whole day if you’re a fan of water parks. There are slides, lazy river, wave pool, and other seasonal attractions to enjoy at what has to be the best waterpark in the state. 

Let them burn off energy at Rehoboth Elementary Playground

Sometimes the kids just need to run around and burn off their energy, which is why Rehoboth Elementary Playground on Stockley Street is an amazing spot to visit. While it may be closed on weekends, you can make the most of the giant, modern playground during the week knowing it’s absolutely safe for them to run around on.
