Check today’s schedule and toddler program before driving to The Springs
Tiffany Springs Water Park is the common search name for The Springs Aquatic Center, a seasonal Kansas City Parks facility at 9400 N Congress Ave in Tiffany Hills Park. It combines a leisure pool, lazy river, waterslides, competition swimming and sprayground-style play.
The detail most likely to cause a wasted trip is the schedule: regular summer swim is generally noon–8 PM, but the 2026 operation switches to weekends only after August 23. Families searching for “Toddler Time” also need a separate program schedule rather than normal public-swim hours.
Tiffany Springs Water Park: fast 2026 answer
The Springs Aquatic Center’s 2026 daily prices are $8 under 48 inches, $11 for guests 48 inches and taller, $9 for seniors age 60+, and free for children age 1 and under. The official summer guide lists the waterpark season from May 23 through September 7, generally noon–8 PM, with weekends only after August 23.
Tiffany Springs Water Park hours today
Regular public swim: closed
The 2026 Kansas City Parks summer guide says The Springs operates weekends only after August 23. Wednesday therefore is not a scheduled late-season public-swim day.

The live facility page currently displays weekends-only hours of noon to 8 PM.
Check the Rainout Line
Weather, staffing, maintenance or another operational issue can still affect a scheduled day. KC Parks publishes a Rainout Line at 816-306-3323.
2026 operating season: the rule behind “hours today”
May 23, 2026
The current KC Parks Summer Activities Guide lists the start of the waterpark operating window on May 23.
Noon–8 PM
This is the 2026 daily public-swim schedule printed for The Springs during its normal summer operating period.

This late-season switch is easy to miss if an old search listing still shows daily hours.
Through Sept. 7
The 2026 summer guide publishes September 7 as the final date in the seasonal operating window.

Tiffany Springs Water Park Toddler Time: the 2026 program is Splash and Play
No official 2026 KC Parks listing reviewed uses the literal program name “Toddler Time.” Families searching that phrase are most likely looking for Splash and Play, a separate low-cost morning session at The Springs.
Splash and Play
$5 drop-inThis is not full public-swim access. Play is limited to the sprayground area while the park’s other areas and amenities are closed for the program.
What is actually inside The Springs Aquatic Center?
KC Parks’ aquatics planning documents describe about 25,392 square feet of water with depths ranging from zero-depth entry to deep competition/diving water. The facility is substantially more than a neighborhood splash pad.
Zero-depth leisure pool
Gradual entry makes the leisure side more practical for families entering the water slowly.
Lazy river
A slower-moving attraction for breaks between slides and active swimming.
Two large waterslides
Major waterpark-style slides are part of the published facility feature list.
50-meter competition pool
The facility has an eight-lane competition pool with a bulkhead.
One-meter boards
Published planning information lists two one-meter diving boards.
Three-meter boards
Two three-meter diving boards are also listed as part of the competition-pool setup.
Sprayground & play
Sprays, a play structure and splashground-style water play serve younger visitors.
Shade & seating areas
Shade is specifically included in KC Parks’ facility feature inventory.

Weather and same-day closure check
1. Check facility status
Open the live KC Parks Springs page first. It currently displays the active late-season weekends-only status.
2. Check the Rainout Line
KC Parks uses its Rainout Line for cancellations and status updates affected by inclement weather.
3. Do not trust map hours alone
Search engines and tourism pages can continue showing old daily or weekend schedules after KC Parks has switched to late-season operation.
How to plan a Tiffany Springs Water Park visit
Start with the date, not the price
During late August and September, check whether your day is actually scheduled. After August 23, 2026, normal public swim shifts to weekends only.
Match everyone to the admission category
Count guests under 48 inches, guests 48 inches and taller, seniors 60+ and children age 1 and under before estimating the family total.
If you want Toddler Time, check Splash and Play instead
That program has separate dates, capacity, price and sprayground-only access. Normal public-swim tickets and hours do not describe it correctly.
Leave the cooler plan at home
The current facility rule says no outside food or drinks. Birthday reservations have only a limited cake/cupcake exception.
Check weather before getting in the car
Use both the official Springs page and KC Parks Rainout Line so a weather or operational update does not become a wasted Northland drive.
Follow the posted rules when you arrive
Use staff instructions for slide access, diving areas, pool depth, life jackets and any same-day restriction. Posted facility rules control over third-party guides.
Which ticket choice makes sense?
Daily admission
Best when you are visiting only once and do not need group pricing.
$84 punch card
Compare the eight-visit card against repeated individual admissions for your household.
Season pass
The $99/$119 season-pass tiers make more sense when The Springs will be a repeated summer activity.
Group rate first
Do not automatically buy individual admission for everyone before comparing $9.50 walk-up and $8.75 pre-registered group pricing.
Official sources used for this 2026 update
The previous version mixed current and older rates. This update prioritizes date-specific 2026 Kansas City Parks materials for prices and season dates, then uses the live facility page for same-day status.
