This is a classic New England "trolley park" that has been updated with some very unique rides. Boulder Dash (wooden coaster) is easily one of the most unique in the United States, quite thrilling and has a layout not seen at any other park. The park offers free soda all day. You can walk around the park with beer. Ghost... more

I visit several parks a year, and while this is a smaller park than most, it sure ranks high with me. We went to this park in October for the Haunted Graveyard. Had a great time. The Halloween theme was really fun. I like the atmosphere of the park, a really pretty setting in the fall. The best time was... more

Park is able to be done in a day. Do not compare to Disney or Universal. This is a small local area attraction. Water park is clean and suggestion is to secure yourself with some beach chairs when it first opens, do the dry rides, then come to the water park to cool off. Amazing roller coaster, Boulder Dash-best in... more

I am disheartened to see some negative reviews. I visited this amusement park for the first time in August 2008. I am a roller coaster "nut" and was very excited to visit. I was not let down. I have been to countless amusement parks and this one ranks in my Top 3 for sure. The staff was incredibly friendly and... more

The only thing good about this park was that it has free soda. The admission price is high, two of the main rides were closed and the lines were long. Many of the main attractions closed at 6:00 and the water area closes at seven, but they were in such a hurry to get you out they started closing the... more

Lake Compounce the amusement park was recommended to me by a passing friend. She said that my kids would love it that the lines aren't long and that there is free soda and water all day long. Well she was partially correct there was free soda and water all day and the lines were not long at all. However there... more

About a week ago, me and my family went to lake compounce in Bristol, CT. Just a note: If you have been to great theme parks like Disney World, Universal Studios, or Cedar Point (the best), you will NOT like this park. We started are day going to the themepark side. A lot of the rides were short and there... more

We waited 1 1/2 hours on a slide only to be told at the top of the slide that my friends shorts weren't proper attire, they were swim shorts, so they told us we had to leave the ride, then my friend was called a [--] by one of the security guards, and when we complained to management they said... more

With Gas prices so high, Lake Compounce is a fun day right in Connecticut. A clean park with attractions for everyone. The staff is very friendly and the staff running the rides gave direction to the rules of riding each ride to assure a safe ride. One nice feature is free soda and water throughout the park. Regarding the rides:... more
