18 inflatable pools (and sprinklers) you’ll love as much as your kids

With high marks for its quality and size, this traditional style earned Amazon’s Choice in the swimming pool category. Reviewers say it’s easy to set up and inflate (with a pump of course) and has a convenient drain plug when it’s time to break down. It’s also thicker and more durable than most with anti-UV protection to keep it from being punctured or breaking down over time.

Want to add a splash of color to the yard? We’re totally smitten with the cheery palette and cute little face of this rainbow pool from Pottery Barn Kids.

On a splash per inch scale, there’s no better bang for the buck than this Target favorite. At six feet long (and just 30 bucks!) there’s plenty of space for kicking and floating and it’s comfortable for adults to relax in as well.

The shallow depth and cushioned bottom of this pint-sized pool makes it a great choice for backyard splash time with baby. And even though it’s just $15, it also comes with a tool to help inflate it and a repair patch as well.

The H2OGO! inflatable pools are impressively sturdy given the inexpensive price point. And what says summer more than a strawberry motif?

With added details like a cushioned bottom and drain plug at the bottom, this colorful Intex Pinwheel Pool is a good buy.

If you’re looking for something that’s a fun to look at as it is to use, the fun heart shaped pool by FUNBOY will have you falling in love with your backyard all over again. The oversized design comfortably fits two adults or multiple kiddos. It’s also ideal for year-round, fill with water in the summer and then move inside in the winter and use as a ball pit.

Since they launched in 2017, Minnidip has created some of the most aesthetically pleasing inflatable pools we’ve ever plopped in our backyards. The tufted style is just right for lounging whether your pint-sized or parent-sized.

This sizable pool from Hearth & Hand is the perfect size for a satisfying dip or splash party. And the stylish stripes make it look less like a kids’ toy and more like an intentional piece of outdoor decor.

Between the built-in sprinkler and inflatable hoop and basketball, good luck dragging your pint-sized baller out of this one. The heavy-weight vinyl is durable enough to withstand the occasional dunk and it features a drain for easy emptying.

If you really want to take the plunge (har, har!) and go big, you could opt for the highly-rated Intex Easy Set Pool. At 10 feet across and 30 inches deep, be warned that it is the stepping stone to full on pool ownership.

Sometimes we buy things for our kids, sometimes we use our kids as an excuse to buy things we want for ourselves. For example, this chic Minnidip Garland Arch Sprinkler which provides both fun afternoons running under it and the perfect backdrop for a summer party photo booth. How versatile!

Speaking of backyard summer parties, this 6 foot fella is sure to impress. It’s as fun as it is photogenic.

A sprinkler fit for a tiny princess! We are full on obsessed with the adorable swan inflatable from the Australian Sunnylife. It’s just the perfect place to perch on a hot summer day.

Want to have the coolest house on the block? Need something to keep the kids busy between summer camps? This bad boy will do it. With hundreds of 5-star reviews, the splashing, climbing, sliding inflatable brings the water park to your backyard. Not only is it tons of fun, it also inflates in minutes with the included pump and is made from puncture and UV-resistant materials and coated with PVC for durability.

Similarly, this highly-rated option will be the talk of the neighborhood. It’s got a climbing wall, slide, water cannon and splash pool to keep them happy and cool for hours at a time. With the included blower, it inflates in just minutes and can be tucked away into the carrying bag when the fun times are over.

It’s a splash pad, a sprinkler and a wading pool all in one! That’s right, this Amazon top-seller is a place kids of various ages can all play at once. Peacefully? Well, that’s debatable.

Another Minnidip must-have we’re beyond stoked about! Not only are we totally here for this plant motif, but the hours of fun it provides for babies, toddlers, and even adults make it a no-brainer.

For multiple kids, check out the WOW Sports Splash Pad. The giant 10′ diameter pad with a built in sprinkler system is great for older kiddos, but fun for little ones as well. Best of all, it’s far easier to set up and take down than an actual pool!
