Mini-Maumee Operating Status: CLOSED FOR SEASON
The Mini-Maumee Discovery Play Area is where learning meets play, where excitement meets education. Thanks to the generous support of Dana Incorporated, the Mini Maumee brings you a one-of-a-kind water play experience that allows visitors to immerse themselves in the magic of this scaled ‘map’ of our Maumee River and its tributaries. Splash, slide, and navigate your way through the miniaturized waterways, discovering the wonders of this vital ecosystem.
While you’re here, brace yourself for an enchanting cascade of water at the Glass City Falls, a captivating waterfall located at the base of the Mini-Maumee, adding an extra thrill to your water play adventure. Prepare for laughs, splashes, and endless fun as you bask in the beauty of the falls!
