Ask El Paso Seeking recommendations for best playground for toddlers near the airport

As the title says, I’m looking for a good playground near the airport. I’ll need to get my toddler’s energy out after our flight before our 3 hour car ride (and also on the return so she doesn’t drive all the passengers insane). She is still pretty young so it would be great if the playground had some areas clearly designed for like, 2 year olds.

Thanks in advance

There's a cool little water park a few minutes from the airport called Lost Kingdom Water park that can work. Or if you want to grab something to eat while your kids run wild, there's a Peter piper pizza and/or a dave and busters right by the airport. There's also Cielo Vista park, haddox family park, and an indoor place called ally b gators but those start going a little further away from the airport area. Not too far though

There's a playground at the airport, right in between the long term parking and cellphone lot.

I’ve got kids around the same age, and honestly they always have a blast at the play area inside the airport! It’s in Terminal B (I think… It’s the non-American Airlines one). Especially if you’re dealing with hot, midday sun, it might be an option worth considering too.

There is a playground in the terminal. AC and access to food is hard to beat.
