About the Venue

Mini Maumee Discovery Play is a one-of-a-kind water play area inside Glass City Metropark built as a scaled map of the Maumee River and its tributaries. Families get more than a basic splash pad here: the water-play zone sits beside major playgrounds, The Ribbon, Market Hall amenities, changing rooms, lockers, and food options. It is one of the strongest warm-weather splash outings in Toledo for families who want a longer, destination-style park day with water play at the center.
