End your summer with a bang by visiting America’s oldest continuing operating amusement park: Bristol, Connecticut’s own Lake Compounce amusement park. Lake Compounce has been a great place for families to have fun since 1846, and it would be a great place for your family to enjoy together before school starts back for the year. It is not only an amusement park but also has a full-scale water park, and there are fun rides that are sure to become our favorite if they aren’t already your favorite:
- Phobia Phear Coaster: New England’s first triple-launch coaster that uses LSM technology
- Down Time: A wild ride where you go to the top of a tower before plummeting 180 feet at 60 miles per hour
- Lights Out: A water slide that zips in & out of a darkened lighthouse at high speeds
- Mammoth Falls: A family raft ride where you can get soaked by splashes of water
- Daniel Tiger’s Grr-ific Day: An attraction that debuted in 2018 (so if you haven’t been to Lake Compounce yet this summer, you really need to come experience this!) which is a great show featuring Daniel Tiger & Katerina Kittycat (and after the show there’s a meet & greet with Daniel Tiger & Katerina Kittycat!)
