Here we go again, New Jersey: another heat wave. Chief Meteorologist Dan Zarrow says temperatures will be about 5 to 10 degrees above normal for this time of year.

It's hot out, so we'll need to find ways to stay cool and beat the heat across the Garden State. While I love soaking up the sunshine and spending time outdoors, the heat and humidity make it tough to stay outside for long.

That's where splash pads come in! They're an easy, fun way for the kids to cool off, get some fresh air, and burn off some energy all while staying cool.

So get ready to pack some towels, water shoes, and lots of sunscreen, and enjoy a day of splashing, laughing, and having fun!
