Need a water table for the kids? Check out these fun options!
Looking to make a splash? 🌊
Even if you can’t make it to the beach or the pool yet, you can still bring the fun home! We rounded up the best water tables for kids to keep them engaged and entertained, all right from the comfort of your own yard.
Word of the wise — don’t delay in ordering yours! We saw so many of these sell out before we could post last summer. If you need an easy way for your kiddos to beat the heat, you’ll want to “add to cart” in a flash!
Here are the top 10 options for the best kids water table:
1. The Step2 Waterfall Discovery Wall is perfect for sharing!
Step2 Waterfall Discovery Wall $54.99 shipped (regularly $79.99)
*Note that this item has delayed shipping
This kids’ water table would be great in a smaller yard since it’s taller and less bulky than others. My Hip sidekick, Chelsey, has the Discovery Wall and LOVES it!
Here’s what she had to say:
“I love that it is a standing water table, because what’s more amazing than watching a waterfall for little kiddos?? 🤣 Plus, there are 2 sides and so many moving accessories – I was HOPING there would be more sharing and less fighting – so far, so good! I also love the stand-up design because it takes up less space.” – Chelsey
2. The Little Tikes Magic Flower Water Playset has four levels of fun!
Little Tikes Magic Flower Water Table $58.46 shipped (regularly $69.99)
The Magic Flower water table has four different levels, so it’s the perfect playset for kids of multiple ages! The little ones can enjoy the lower levels while the older kids can play with the upper features. Everyone will love watching the flower “bloom” with water and playing with the spinning turtles or one of the 10 included accessories.
Here’s what one reviewer said about their Magic Flower water table:
“This Magic Flower water table is so much fun, my 5-year-old would not stop playing it for hours! The assembling process took about 30 minutes, but the instruction manual is well-written with detailed pictures and very easy to follow.
My son loves the stacking turtles as well as the flower, which opens when he waters it. All the accessories that came with it are super fun and designed just the right size for my toddler to explore water play. This is a great and very engaging water table, it also seems very durable and should be able to provide a lot of fun summertime memories!”
3. The Little Tikes Mermaid Island makes mini waves!
Little Tikes Mermaid Island Wavemaker Water Table $69.99 shipped
Everyone will have so much fun with this water table that has FIVE play stations! When you turn the wheel it even creates mini waves that bounce against the other side of the table!

It even has a place for an umbrella. Much better than other water tables I found.

Here’s what one reviewer said about their UNIH water table:
“Easy assembly and a lot of fun! I bought this toy set for the summer and the beach days. They are high-quality colored sets and take no time to assemble. Has a lot of shapes to make that will help in learning as well. Comes with a kid-size tent that’s a great idea to save them from extra heat. Not only will it be an enjoyable time for the kids, but for all of us.”

This is perfect for small spaces. I can easily take it out, let my son play for a few hours, and store it away quickly. After the initial build which took maybe 10 minutes, set up is less than 5 minutes. Storing it away is even faster. I love it. It was worth the extra bucks compared to other water tables I was looking at. Also, being able to store it away keeps it clean and safe from sun damage.

Here’s what one reviewer said about their Step2 Duck Dive water table:
“This is the perfect water table. We have had one for years. This one was purchased for a friend who didn’t have one yet. Her 3-year-old and 1-year-old love it! It’s preferable compared to a baby pool because it uses less water, is safer, and can be used even when it isn’t hot outside.
Even a very young toddler can use it because it is sturdy enough to lean on when learning to stand. In the winter months, can be taken inside and filled with other materials as a sensory table. I love step2 outdoor products! Very well made and reliable!”
