Market Street Splash: Slide the City St. Louis

When I was a kid, I was always jealous of those TV commercials showing kids frolicking on Slip N Slides on their lush green suburban yards. I grew up in the country, with a yard full of trees, rocks, stumps, rocks, dirt, rocks and more rocks. It was not conducive to DIY backyard water parks. Which is why I’m super excited about Slide the City coming to St. Louis! I will finally get a chance to fulfill my childhood dream of splashing down a water filled plastic sheet on a hot summer day.Slide the city St. Louis

Except this slide is heading down Market Street. And is 1000 feet long!

On July 11 and 12th, Market Street will be transformed as fun seekers ride inflatables down a giant slide spanning THREE CITY BLOCKS. There will be music, local vendors, and giveaways! It’s a family friendly event that will be the highlight of your summer!

(This post is sponsored by Slide the City and the US Family Guide.)

You’ve got questions? Here are some answers about Slide the City

Is there an age or height limit? YES: You need to be over 46 inches tall and over 5 years old to slide. Kids under 18 need to get a sign off from their legal guardians.

Is it safe?? Slide the City puts down a foam layer first–it’s no fun sliding on pavement! And if you’re worried, everyone gets a mouthguard, just in case.

Wow, isn’t that wasting a lot of water? Nope! Water conservation is also a priority at Slide the City events. They strive to have zero environmental impact on the community. The Slide was designed to have zero water loss, and it treats and recycles the water safely and efficiently throughout the day. When permitted, they donate the water back to the community. Methods of disposal include local reclamation centers, parks, golf courses and other places dependent upon local regulations.

How much is it? Single slide tickets are starting at $13 with the early bird registration (good until May 31). With the $5 discount that’s just $8. Prices go up the closer to the event. A Triple Slide ticket starts at $28 for the early bird ($23 with my discount) and the ULITMATE UNLIMITED ticket starts at $48 ($43 with the discount)

Are there group rates available? If you have a group with 20 or more participants send Slide the City an email.

What about the tube?? Single slide ticket holders will need to bring their own tube, but there will be tubes for sale at the event. Triple Slide and Unlimited tickets come with a tube.
Don’t forget, my readers will SAVE with promo code USFAMstl
