    My first time to Lake Compouonce to see the Holiday Lights on New Years Eve night. I had a Great time. Beautifully decorated for the holidays. Lots of rides, carousell operating. Gift shop concessions opened and small quick serve eateries open. The park is easy to walk around and enjoy. At the end of the night there was a grand fireworks display, over by the lake. All and all it was great way to ring in the new Year.

    Took my 3 year old and 1 year old here today. A hot day but the trial was mostly shaded. Kids had a blast looking through the trees to find the dinosaurs. Playground and splash pad were awesome. The warm water in the splash pad allowed the kids to play much longer. Ordered grilled cheese and nuggets there for lunch. Bring socks for one of the outdoor play areas. Only complaint was that I couldn’t find a place to refill water bottles — would suggest they add that.

    I just went to Quassy Waterpark for the first time with my family (kids are 10 and 12), and we had a great time. We went on a hot August Saturday, and it was busy, but there were a few slides that still had short lines (The Extreme Bodyslides and the Tunnel Twisters). We went on all of the slides. I would say the least extreme slide is the pink and white striped one of the Category 5 slides. It's fast and twisty, but no surprises and no water in the face, so a good one to start with for those who are a little nervous about it. Know that the red tunnel twister is completely dark all the way down. The yellow one, though, lets plenty of light in. We spent 5 hours at the park, which was plenty. We didn't do the amusement park. I'd assumed that we weren't allowed to bring in outside food, but I saw several large coolers, so I guess you can. There are lockers, but they cost $10, which seemed a bit high to me. Many of the staff members were not very friendly, and I would have felt more comfortable if those at the top of the slides were strapped in so they didn't accidentally slip down the slides. It seemed a bit under-staffed, as well, but maybe that is part of the overall Covid understaffing situation and will improve over time. Overall, though, it was a lot of fun. We will definitely be back.

    We had a really great time. Lots to do. My kids can’t wait to go back. My only suggestion is to make it easier to get up to the big pillow. Trying to climb a rock wall straight out of the water was too hard for 1/2 our group. Zip lines were fun. We will definitely be back

    This arcade is full of every game imaginable. It is centrally located odd the casion floor and close to the outlets entrance. It is clean and all the games are in workable order. It is a fun place!

    Lake Compounce has been our family go to theme park since I was a kid. It is small enough to cover in a day, but has enough attractions to make the visit worthwhile if you are in the area for a short time. There is a full water park with family pool, lazy river, wave pool, and multiple water slides, including the new "Venus Vortex". The main park features a fast but amazing coaster, "Phobia" and traditional rides such as bumper cars, merry go round, river raft ride, log flume, and pirate boat. There are many other rides, I suggest checking out the Lake Compounce website. There is a kiddy park as well and many places to eat (although the food selection is modest and the quality is what you might expect from a smaller theme park). I would highly recommend a visit (or more), especially with the family.

    We went here on a Saturday evening. There were some people here, but not particularly crowded. So we didn't have to wait for anyone ahead of us, and weren't pushed by anyone behind us. Price was reasonable, and place had a bathroom, though there didn't seem to be food available.

    The golf itself was nice. The holes are a bit challenging, sometimes too challenging. The course is designed with a bit of a western theme. There are cool designs around the holes, including large wolves and rattlesnakes. I enjoyed it.
