Water attracts kids and they are the happiest being near or being in it. The lake, garden fountains,wall fountains- http://www.wallfountainshowcase.com/, water installations, table top ย water fountains and even aquariums make them stare and they giggle when thry get wet with splashed water. Well, itโs how things are with my kids.
ย ยI can attest that other kids are like that too. For example, when I accompanied my sonโs class to the Schรถnbrunn Zoo we passed by a fountain (left photo) at the gardenโฆone of the kids asked for her photo to be taken where the fountain would be at the background. (Canโt post photo of her as I donโt want the parents to question me.)
We visited the sea lions and during the feeding time too. Aside from feeding them, the trainers would throw fishes for the sea lions to follow, water would splash but the kids wouldnโt mind getting wet, they were deliberately making themselves wet.
I bet they had great fun but Iโm not sure if the parents didnโt get angry when they got colds and a runny nose.

Sometime last year I went with my daughterโs ย class to the ZOOM Kindermuseum which presents the elementย water. The museum aims to let children know the importance of water in our livesโฆthere were a lot of installation showcased for the kids to understand how water works.

You can see how attentive the kids were during a water experiment. There were aquariums in the museum too and the kids were fascinated with those, especially to aquariums that doesnโt contain fish but other interesting materials. There were also water pumps much to the kidsโ delights.
(Little boy was too busy looking at the water flowing basin that he doesnโt want to turn around for a photo.)
Kids are happy around water and Iโm glad the city government installed a water playground across our place. My kids would surely have fun come summer.
