You venture into the pool department or look in cyberspace for a pool toy that isn’t 3x the price it should be and will hopefully entertain your kids for more than a minute. Reviewed by parents and kids alike, we’ve created our own list of the 5 must-have pool toys for your pool this season. 

Best Pool Toys for 2020

1. Giant Inflatable Water Wheel

The Water Wheel is like a hamster wheel for kids. They will enjoy trying to make it spin in the water to see how fast they can get it going before going splash. It is one of the many giant inflatable pool toys that are designed to be colorful and never boring. If they are not interested in spinning the wheel, it will also give them a place to kick back in the shade.

2. Water Sports Inc Swim Thru Rings

Most kids love a challenge and these rings provide it in a very unique way. They have an average rating of 3.9-stars and most parents say that their kids love them. You can increase or decrease the air inside of them to make them float at different levels and then put them around your pool. Challenge your child to swim through each ring and watch the fun begin.

3. Swimline Labyrinth Island Inflatable Pool Toy

If you like the idea of giant inflatable pool floats for several kids at one time, this is a perfect float for your family. With it, kids and adults can climb up into one of the 8 holes and relax, talk, or goof around. It can hold up to 650 pounds or 8 children can be on it at one time.

4. Ginzick Super Fun Floating Inflatable Hockey Game (no longer available)

If your kids love air hockey, they will love the blow up toys for pool play that turn air hockey into a water sport. It comes with a puck and two pushers to give you and your kids hours of fun. During times when swimming is not an option, you can use it as a hockey table indoors or out and let the fun continue. Its versatility is what gives it a 4.1-star rating.

5. Log Flume Joust Set for Pool

It is hard to balance on a float in the water, but you can make it a lot more fun by adding two inflatable “logs” and two inflatable “log boppers”. It is a jousting game for kids to see who is able to push someone else off balance while keeping themselves balanced on the float. The outcome is simple, someone will go splash and kids love the challenge of it.
