So.. is that the end of the Puddle Park?

Its water features have already been closed.

(Wednesday have the better photos.)

Originally Posted By Dr Hans Reinhardt Okay, I have no idea where the puddle park is. I was merely speculating about the future of the space. Like I said, I've been inside Flik's maybe twice, and I've probably spent a grand total of 20 minutes there on my combined visits to DLR since the area opened. I couldn't care less about what they do with Flik's.
Originally Posted By jbkuchon It's so hard to keep the kids out of the puddle park and the sprayers by the farm. I mean, why would I want them to be dripping wet so they can complain for the next 5 hours that they don't want to be wet anymore. But they see the kids laughing and jumping around and it's impossible keeping them away from it.

I’m truly sad by this.. and the kids that come to DCA love the water!!

You can’t miss it, with the thing that swings around and sprays water!
