About the Venue

The Hunt Family Desert Springs Splash Pad is the El Paso Zoo's interactive water-play area for families visiting the zoo. The zoo describes features including dancing water, gushers, spray tunnels, tower sprays, and pop-ups, making it one of the more feature-rich splash experiences in the region. It is best used as part of a zoo day rather than as a standalone free park stop, since zoo admission applies.
