Water Play Areas
Kidspace's outdoor water features invite and encourage kids to splish splash to their heart's content. We suggest that parents bring an extra change of clothes for the children...or for themselves!
Kids' Basin
Here, you will encounter a rain shower, just like the Arroyo Seco habitat! As rain falls periodically, the basin fills with a few inches of water causing a surge towards the water play areas below. Learn about conservation and watch the story of this vital natural resource and its habitats as it flows down through the Outdoor Learning Environments.

The Interpretive Arroyo
Kidspace’s “Interpretive Arroyo” is a mini model of Pasadena’s own Arroyo Seco, with gentle, rolling water, real arroyo stones found on site at Kidspace, and native plants. With periodic "rain" off the covered bridge, the Interpretive Arrroyo provides a perfect setting for children to learn about the water cycle as they splash around.

Splash Dance Fountain
Play in the spray during a hot day! The Central Courtyard is the hub of activity at Kidspace, and its centerpiece is this magical water feature. Create a fun water show through the use of music, light, movement and fog. You can also take a break beneath the shade of California sycamore trees, or have a snack from the café at one of the outdoor patio tables.
