New England water parks & water slides add splash to a family vacation

New England > All New England > Families and Kids > Water Parks

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.

Splash it up in dino-style at this water attraction with 30 fun features, from buckets to slides

If there were such a thing as a Splashasaurus, he’d fit right in at The Dinosaur Place at Nature’s Art Village, with New England’s largest Splash Pad among its many attractions. The zero-depth water playground is safe for all ages, with a separate area for infants and toddlers. In all, there are over 30 dino-themed features including dumping buckets, dueling T-rex and Velociraptor water cannons, a dino rib cage waterfall and a flying Pteranodon who rises from its perch when you step on certain sensors in the ground. Hide from a spitting Stegosaurus or tiptoe through a Triceratops loop. The Splash Pad has plenty of seating all around as well as changing rooms. (Please bring footwear to the Splash Pad.)

Why settle for a hotel with a pool when you can stay in a great resort with a water park!

You can book a hotel with a pool, or you can book the Cape Codder Resort & Spa with an entire indoor/outdoor water park! The water attractions take up 30,000 square feet at the spacious resort and include two 160-foot high-speed slides; two slides that wind through a pirate ship; a 300-foot river with waterfalls, rapids and a spouting whale; and a wave pool with 2-foot waves, fountains and a water umbrella. The Pirate Cove Kiddie Play Pool for the little ones has a dumping bucket, water cannons and small water slides. The four-season outdoor heated pool is a quiet oasis during the day and a gorgeous light show at night. The resort also includes two restaurants and a full-service spa.
