Phalen Beach Splash Pad is one of Saint Paul's official outdoor splash pads and runs free during the summer season. Its biggest advantage for families is the larger regional-park context, where spray play can be combined with the beach, park paths, and other lakefront amenities. This is a strong pick for families who want more than a quick standalone splash stop.
