The Best Dinosaur Sprinklers For Your Backyard Water Park

These 7-foot dinos will make the backyard look like Isla Nublar.

by Dave Baldwin

Admittedly, a working garden hose and sprinkler is all it really takes to keep kids cool, wet, and entertained on a hot summer’s day. So long as there’s water to run through and squeals to make, kids are pretty happy. But for parents who want to take their backyard waterpark to a Jurassic new level this summer, dinosaur sprinklers are here to make a big splash. And not just any ordinary dinosaur water sprayers. No, giant T-Rexs and Brontosauruses that stand almost 7-feet-tall when inflated and make the backyard look like Isla Nublar. Here are three of the coolest.

Dino Inflatable Sprinkler

A fitting companion to the 7-foot T-Rex in your backyard, Pottery Barn’s inflatable Brontosaurus sprinkler stands 6’8″ and almost 10″ long. It’s made of heavy-duty PVC ⏤ but comes with a vinyl repair kit to patch up any accidental dino injuries ⏤ and requires little more than inflating/attaching a hose to its belly to use.
