    Nicollet Commons splashpad.

    Kids enjoy hours of fun at this splash pad! They offer concerts and movies all summer long and Party on The Plaza events.

    I too almost don't want to review as I don't want it to be insanely busy but it truly deserves 5 stars! Lots of neat features you don't see at other splash pads. We have gone every year (we live an hour away) and it's one of our favorites. Plenty of shade if you want it. Nearby parking ramp along with street parking and lots of places to lay on the grass or bring your chair. I have even seen smaller birthday parties here and it's a great park to do that. Also- there is bathrooms nearby and they are clean and don't smell!!

    This place is a jewel! I almost hesitate to write about it for fear that all will flock there. It is like a little oasis situated right in the heart of Burnsville in front of the Ames Center. I wanted to go to take the kids. Pictures reminded me of a crisp stream. The place did not disappoint. There are so many connecting fountains, picnic tables, benches, grassy areas perfect for a date or family picnic. It's a small area but large. Within it you feel the sense of community, connectedness. My kids and I made a friend as they placed with a child and I talked with his mother, both first timers in amazement...and both working together to keep an eye of the kids with all the connecting fountains. There is plenty of parking and also public restrooms.right nearby near the Medittarian Cruise cafe. Visit this park, you wont be disappointed.

    If you're looking for a great spot for you and/or your kids to run around and climb stuff, this is…read moreit! Really great playground structures with plenty of different types of equipment, including things like balance beams, teeter-totters, and spinners, in addition to more standard playground fare like swingsets and slides. There's also a splashpad that you can activate for playing around. Water squirts or dumps from various water features. A lot of fun. It was even still running in October when I was there! Lots of gazebos (which can be reserved, if desired) with picnic tables and grills and trash/recycling cans. An ice cream truck swung by while I was there, much to the delight of the kids there. Massive parking lot. Only port-a-potties. Nearby is also a large grass field for soccer. If you go a little deeper in, you'll see it also connects with the Black Dog Trailhead. Be aware however that this is a "minimal maintenance" trail. I tried to follow it for aways after the railroad track but felt a little lost and ultimately turned back. Not sure how often or at what time of year they maintain it to make it easier to follow, but it's understandable that they don't because it is part of a specific biome of wet meadow known as a "fen". These are fairly rare and thus requiring protection, so tread lightly and respectfully if you do go! It's important nature be preserved as much as possible.

    My grandson (7) loved it. Being able to run between the water features and the playground was a…read morewonderful way to be able to stay cool. The reason for the 4 instead of a 5 is because the entire playground was in direct sun. The slides were too hot to touch and the lack of shade intensified the temperature. Other than that, the features were great and the shaded areas for the parents was much appreciated.

    Well, this was a surprise. Fabulous indoor park for kids, the grands had to be literally dragged…read moreout. Climbing, slides, tubes, giant Legos. And only a $10 admission for the park only. (There is a pool on the premises but it is not a water park-type of pool experience.) Lots of parking outside and places for guardians to wait inside. Tons of kids of all ages and I noticed that the older kids were very gentle and caring for the littles. It was nice to see. Bring your own snacks and water. There is a robotic vending machine for $4 water the kids loved. Great for a rainy or snowy day. Follow it up with a visit to Dave and Buster's down the road at Southdale. (That's how we got them to leave!)

    This place is AWESOME! I decided to get my boys (9,5) out of the house and they had a blast! They…read morehave already been asking when we can go back! There is free parking. Walk in and pay the fee for the kiddos. As of Jan 2026 it was $10 a kid with unlimited time. Parents/guardians are free. There is a large park towards the end of the building! It kept my kiddos plenty busy! There is seating for the adults. There is also a gym space for kids to run, balls to play with, mini basketball hoops and items for the little kids to push ride on! There is also a pool to do laps and a gym with equipment, but I'm unsure if those cost extra. You can do birthday parties here! Check the website for additional information!! They do have 2 spots where you can get snacks and picnic tables to eat! Overall this was a very solid experience and we will happily be back!
