Water Playground

Visit the water playground at the McGovern Children’s Zoo! The playground includes 11 water features in a Galveston coastal fishing village setting. In-ground water features include 5 so-called “pop jet” fountains and 3 “foaming fountains.”

Three of the playground’s water features are animal themed and include a pelican with a fish in its mouth, a frog on a rock, and two turtles on a log. The playground’s computer controlled “brain” recirculates 800 gallons of chlorine treated water in a random pattern so you never know which fountain will go off next!

The John P. McGovern Children’s Zoo has a lot to offer kids of all ages. Hope to see you soon!
