Do you have fond childhood memories of splashing around in a kiddie pool on summer days in your backyard? Blow up pools have been around for a long time, and they continue to be a big hit with the kiddos. The only thing that’s really changed are the pools themselves.

See, today’s inflatable pools are simply way better than what you probably remember as a kid. Sure, there are still plenty of ugly, low-quality kiddie pools that won’t last the summer. But if you look hard enough, you can find many amazing inflatable pools for kids – whether we’re talking babies, toddlers, or older children. (For that matter, there are some great inflatable pools for adults, but that’s a topic for another article.)

You can always browse the selection at Walmart or one of the many other brick-and-mortar stores that sell blow up kiddie pools. But you can likely find better and cheaper options by looking online. To get you started, here are 10 of the best inflatable kiddie pools we’ve come across:

1. Intex Summer Sunset Glow Pool

Intex Kids Summer Sunset Glow PoolThis little pool is simple, summery, and just plain sublime. It may not hold up for many uses, but the low price makes it a good candidate for multiple purchases.

2. Bestway Interactive Elephant Play Pool

Bestway Interactive Elephant Play PoolThis adorable elephant pool attaches to a garden hose. Water sprays out of the trunk, keeping the occupants cool on a hot summer day.

3. Ginzick Rainbow Spray Pool

Ginzick Inflatable Rainbow Spray Kiddie PoolThis pool creates a refreshing wall of mist around kids as they sit in the water. You can set the water to come out fast or slow.

4. Intex Rainbow Ring Pool

Intex Rainbow Ring Inflatable Kiddie PoolThis is more than just a kiddie pool – it’s a portable water park! In addition to the pool and slide, it includes a water sprayer and ring toss game to keep youngsters busy for hours.

5. Disney Finding Dory Splash Pool

Disney Finding Dory Splash PoolIf you have a Finding Nemo or Finding Dory fan in your household, you’ll be happy you found this. Perfect for babies and younger kids.

6. Intex Roarin’ Shark Inflatable Shade Pool

Intex Roarin' Shark Inflatable Shade PoolIt may not be a substitute for sunscreen, but a shade pool like this does its part to protect children from the sun. This one is both cute and hilarious.

7. Intex Dinoland Play Center

Intex Dinoland Inflatable Play CenterThis feature-packed play center is bigger than it looks, so consider picking up an air pump to inflate it. Once it goes up, your kids will never want you to take it down.

8. Banzai Sprinkle and Splash Play Mat

Banzai Sprinkle and Splash Play MatGranted, this technically isn’t a kiddie pool. It’s more of an inflatable splash pad – one that can provide endless enjoyment for younger kids.

9. Intex Whale Spray Pool

Intex Whale Spray PoolKids may not fully appreciate how well designed this whale pool is, but you will. And even if they don’t know why you get such a big kick out of this pool, they’ll certainly love splashing around and getting soaked under that tail sprayer.

10. Bestway Interactive 3D Adventure Pool

Bestway Interactive 3D Adventure PoolThis is a larger pool that’s ideal for older children (ages six and up) who might not be entertained by basic kiddie pools. It comes with two pairs of 3D goggles and crystal treasure that kids can use to play a fun diving game.

As awesome as all these kiddie pools are, keep in mind that inflatables are notoriously fragile. If you have particularly rowdy kids – or water-loving dogs who insist on climbing in – you’re probably better off with a hard plastic pool. Otherwise, just know that your mileage will vary with these cheap kiddie pools.

Whatever kiddie pool you choose, here’s hoping it makes your backyard a little more colorful and fun. It’s going to be a great summer!
