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

I had a good time at the Lake. The rides were good but the water park was cold but not crowded. I liked the macoroni and cheese for lunch. I did not have to wait in long lines for any thing. Garfield drop zone was a 40 foot drop tower ride which was better for me than downtime. They let... more

I have been going to Lake Compounce for years. This is a clean park with some nice family atmosphere and some good rides. This park will not have the same amount of thrills as Six Flags or Cedar Point by far, but it does have the BoulderDash--The best wooden roller coaster ever-- and Thunder and Lightning-- a pendulum swing that... more

We took our 3 children, ages 7,5, and 3. There is a great variety of kiddie rides, some of which adults could ride as well. The kids had never been to an amusement or water park before, so our 3 year old was a little weary about going on rides. Our other two went on all the kiddie rides. The... more

I went to The Lake with my husband and 3 kids--4,6 and 7. It took 70 minutes to get there from Greenwich. The 2 oldest enjoyed the more thrilling rides while there was plenty to do for my 4 year old. The morning was very hot so the water rides were perfect and cooling. At around 4pm there was a... more

Lake Compouce is a very family friendly, relaxing theme park. They have a thrilling sky ride- yeah, that's right- thrilling. It is a ski lift that goes up a steep mountainside- 45 minutes round trip- for some great views and steep drop offs that curled my toes. The river raft ride is the best I have been on- way better... more

We visited The Lake and had a wonderful day! The park was very clean and well kept. There was something for everyone here. My children, ages 4 and 6 enjoyed the children's section as well as the water park. If you enjoy rollercoasters, Boulder Dash is a must!! It's not for the smaller kids or the faint of heart! The... more

My family and I visited Lake Compounce (on 6/17/06) and even though the weather wasn't the greatest we had a great time. Before you go through the gates, your bag is checked. Then we got a bit confused because you had one women outside collecting tickets and later realizing that the person next to her was working behind her. Once... more

Lake Compounce is a great amusement park if you live in CT. I don't know if I'd travel from out of state for it but even if you did I'm sure it would still be a good time. This will be my second year as a season pass holder, due to the fact that the park is 15 minutes from... more
