The Clayton Safari Splash

Opening May 17, 2024

The Clayton Safari Splash is a 5,000 square-foot safari-themed water play area that is included with general zoo admission. Located next to Grasslands Africa!, our splash pad includes play areas designed for all ages. With life-sized giraffes that spout water, water hoops and loops, team sprays that use cooperative play to send water several stories in the air and colorful giant flowers, it’s the ideal spot to cool off.
