Speaking of turns, Amazon has a ton of great deals on summer must-haves right now. You can add a backyard waterpark for under $1,000 to that list.

The gigantic at-home waterpark includes two twisting slides, two built-in water canyons, a climbing wall, a clubhouse and a tunnel — your child will not get bored. There's also a pool with a hose attachment, so your kids can make a splash when sliding and climbing (it also provides some cushioning).
The waterpark is recommended for kids ages 5 to 12, but even parents and supervised toddlers can enjoy wading in the splash pool on a hot-as-heck day.
"So much fun! This thing is ginormous! We've already used it for two boys' birthday parties this summer, and it kept 10-15 kids from the ages of 2-12 busy and completely happy. They especially like the clubhouse area between the climber and large slide, and the little window there means they can scream to their friends below," wrote a person who achieved "cool-parent" status.
"Lots of fun. This was a great investment," wrote another parent.
"We got this blow-up slide, and my kids absolutely loved it," wrote another.
Reviewers also noted that customer service was good about replacing the waterpark if they had issues with the original. It's also a bit heavy — but call your village to help you out because it's worth it.
"We’ve had several versions of an inflatable slide and needed to get a bigger and more durable one as my boys are 5 and 9 now, plus they always have friends over. This one does not disappoint. It can handle a gaggle of five 10-year-olds, with many on it at a time. Yes, it’s pricey and very heavy and bulky — [it]definitely requires two adults to move it around. But [it's] worth it if you are wanting to accommodate the bigger kiddos," gushed a parent. Banzai Pipeline Twist Aqua Park, $747.99 on Amazon
