Lake Compounce is a great place for families and friends. I've been going there since I was a little kid and have many memories from here. This is a decent sized park with many rides for everyone's needs. There are rollercoasters, thrill rides, slow rides, water rides, kid rides, games and cute little food stops all throughout the park. This... more

Be sure to check out the parks, "Haunted Graveyard," event that takes place in October. The main attraction is a 45 minute walk-through haunted house. The attention to detail, the special effects, and the scares make you feel like you are walking around a movie set. The event gets bigger and better every year, I would highly recommend it! Also,... more

Went this summer 8/2009 the best part of this place is that they have free soda yes, you heard right, free soda what amusement park offers that, the money alone that you save with a family of four is well worth it. Does this park have super super thrill rides no, but for a nice relaxing fun day out with... more

We visited this park on a Saturday in August. We purchased our tickets ahead of time at our local AAA office. Parking was reasonable. This place was packed. The water park seemed to be at capacity with a long wait time for a locker. We didn't even bother going to the water park. It was chaos. The park itself has... more

Although some reviewers have reported one or more rides and slides being closed at Lake Compounce, I noticed that they visited in late August - when most students return to college and summer staffing is a challenge in any industry. I'd rather have only one slide safely open with an operator paying close attention to the guests, than two slides... more

Let me say I think I am the reason this park is so crowded these days. Five years ago I thought this place was the greatest, however, my last few visits there have turned me bitter. I used to promote this park to every parent who had young kids, NO MORE!!! Management needs to wake up!!! We get to the... more

My husband, 7 year old son and I went to Lake Compounce this past weekend. It's a very friendly, laid back, family themed park. We went to the water side first. It was very crowded, but the rides were really fun. My son loved the Lake Plunge and the Clipper Cove. We then went over to the other side of... more

Went on a beautiful Sunday in the morning. Lines were not long. The ride attendants and all other workers were polite, well-groomed, friendly, and did their jobs well. The flowers were outstanding--not a weed in sight! Most husband just sat while I did the rides, and he decided it was the best amusement park he's ever visited! There was no... more
