It's the stuff childhood dreams are made of.

The American company, Slide the City, is bringing its 300-metre long public waterslide to Halifax later this summer.

A vinyl slide the length of two football fields will be stretched across a yet-to-be-named Halifax street from July 25 to 26.

Riders are required to slip down the water slide on tubes. Mouth guards will also be provided with ticket purchases.

Tickets are not yet available but the pricing chart shows early bird ticket holders can slide once for $15. Unlimited runs cost $50.
