This summer has been very gracious – easing us into the higher temperatures, preparing us for the scorchers. But as we finish July and head into the August, the heat feels like it\u2019s hear to stay. Whether you choose to hide out in A\/C or guzzle your Iced Capps, staying cool is top priority on those hot days. But there are more fun ways of keeping cool (think inner-tubes). Check out these 5 spots to go for a splash in the GTA to help you get your cool on. <\/span><\/p>\n

\nSadly the infamous water park is closed for the 2016 season for massive upgrades and renovations, but we think it\u2019s still worth mentioning, because we\u2019re excited to see what\u2019s to come. Wild Water Kingdom boasts 100 acres of water slides, wave pools, and sports facilities. Whether you bring your toddlers to splash in the pool, or you\u2019re a thrill seeker, WWK has got it all.

With plenty of access points (preferably in Ingelwood or Mississauga) the Credit River offers the ideal spot to canoe, kayak, or tube! If you go when the water isn\u2019t too high you\u2019ll be able to enjoy a leisurely float down the river, taking in the scenic nature that surrounds you. <\/span>

Kiwanis Heydenshore Park is the perfect place for the family to spend the day, and cool down! With a splash pad, a beach, and a beautiful park nearby this is a great spot to picnic – not to mention take in some incredible views of Lake Ontario!

Elora Gorge is a very popular summer destination. Tube down this not-so-lazy river and enjoy a fun ride on rushing water. All you have to do is register for your equipment, pay a small fee, and you\u2019ll be cruising down the beautiful and scenic gorge.<\/span>
