They’re great for parties, but in my experience kids do get bored with them after a few weeks.

We don’t have one; we do have other blow up pools. They require cleaning and of course supervision when in use.

These are such a hassle but once up the kids really enjoy it

If you are talking about the ones you have at home I’d say they are a pain to fold up and store.

Are you talking about one you can use at home? Like a slip and slide?
We love going to some of the free water parks in our area.

I think it depends on the cost to get in, the travel involved and how much kids love water play. I personally think they are over priced and don’t see the value.

We have attended some with our older kids and it sure was fun. I think it’s important the kids are water safe and able to swim well.
I think like swimming pools, fatal injuries can also occur at waterparks, although they are rare. However, anywhere there is water, drowning is always a frightening possibility. In addition to causing injuries, water parks can also cause recreational water illnesses (RWIs). They are found in water that is contaminated by germs or chemicals.
