Water Parks in New England

Add some splash to a family vacation!

New England's water parks, splash parks, and water slides make a great day trip or even a half-day stop on a New England family vacation. Water rides, twister rides -- the whole works -- are a fun adventure for adults, parents and kids on a summer trip or getaway in New England.

Once you dry off and relax, think about the next day’s adventures: Mountain coaster rides? Railroad excursion? Zoo visit? Pilgrims and the Mayflower? Explore more family activities.

Catch a wave of excitement at this water park, with thrilling rides, slides and pools

Are you a fan of the big splash, or a relaxing float in a pool? At Funtown Splashtown’s water park, you’ll have a great time either way. Race down a 45-foot slide head first on a mat, or grab a raft and a few friends and zip down the Mammoth Thrill Slide. Real thrill-seekers go for Poseidon’s Plunge, where the floor drops out of the bottom of a 60-foot slide, or an all-black tube slide where you’re totally in the dark. There’s a wading pool for the little ones and, in Pirates Paradise Aquaplane, eight water slides (and the pirate dumps 500 gallons of water every two minutes). Private cabanas can be rented in advance. The Splashtown park’s alter-ego, Funtown, has rides and games. A family owned and operated business, Funtown Splashtown puts guest safety first. Please review our health safety guidelines prior to your visit.

The Splash Pad, the largest in New England, with a separate area for infants and toddlers, has changing rooms and lots of seating where you can relax and watch the kids as they try to manage the Triceratops loop or avoid getting the Stegosaurus who tends to … spit.
