Some other water park options in New England
Located in Saco, this is actually two parks; you can buy a combo ticket or waterpark only ($48 adults; $43 kids under 48' tall). This one has nine waterslides, including Amphitrite's Challenge, a 45-footer, a corkscrew, and a tube slide, plus a pirate-themed kiddie area with eight water slides and a wading pool.
Massachusetts:
Hurricane Harbor at Six Flags New England,
Part of Six Flags New England in Agawam, Hurricane Harbor offers water slides, a 500,000-gallon wave pool, lazy rivers, a kids' lagoon, and a kiddie pirate ship-themed area. The Tornado (for big kids and adults) shoots you through a tunnel and a funnel — no lie — aboard a four-person raft. From $35 (online); $49 on weekends.

Wicked Waves Cape Cod,
Opened in 2024 alongside Cape Cod Inflatable Park in West Yarmouth, Wicked Waves is a watery wonderland of water slides, a lazy river, a wave pool, a water coaster, and Devil's Drop, a trap-door slide that goes through an area of darkness. The Boomerang Slide gets you airborne. They've also got a Flow Rider (one of those surf-type pools), available for an extra fee. Pro tip: Arrive early on a weekend to snag parking. The Cape Cod Family Resort offers overnight packages. Day pass: From $48 (includes Inflatable Park.)

Set in bustling North Conway, the state's largest indoor water park is a perfect rainy-day option, when you can't get your posse out on the hiking trails. Attractions include four high-speed tube slides, a three-story slide tower, a wave pool, water cannons, a tipping bucket, and a Little Kahuna play area. Unique elements here: a 25-person hot tub and water basketball. For stay-and-play packages, check out Birchmont Resort & Spa (
