Our DGS 3yrs loved the kiddie pool area at the Paddock pool the best. Slides, splashing water and the water is only bout ankle deep or so. I think DGS must have gone down the slide 100x. He also enjoyed the pool side games and crafts, so much so that we requested the Paddock area for our large family (12) vacation in Nov. We'll have 4 kids- 2,4,5 and 7.
