About Each Park
Clark's Bears Water Park
New Hampshire
Clark's Bears Water Park sits in the heart of New Hampshire's White Mountains, making it a perfect cool-down spot after hiking or just escaping the summer heat. This family-owned outdoor park has that classic small-town water park feel that big chains can't replicate. The main attraction is a solid collection of water slides ranging from gentle tube slides perfect for younger kids to a couple of steeper body slides that'll get your heart racing. The kiddie area is well-designed with smaller slides, water features, and shallow pools where parents can actually relax while keeping an eye on little ones. They've got a decent-sized swimming pool for actual swimming, plus a lazy river that's just the right speed for floating on tubes. The park's location in Lincoln puts you right in tourist territory, so it gets busy during peak summer months and especially on weekends when families are visiting the White Mountains. The facilities are clean and well-maintained, though this isn't a massive operation so don't expect the bells and whistles of larger parks. What makes Clark's Bears special is the personal touch you get at smaller parks - staff know regulars by name, and the owners actually walk around checking on things.

Kahuna Laguna sits inside the Red Jacket Mountain View Resort in North Conway, making it a solid choice for families staying in the area or looking for a rainy day activity in the White Mountains. The indoor setting means you can visit year-round, which is huge when you're dealing with New Hampshire winters. The space feels cozy rather than massive - think community pool atmosphere with water park features rather than a sprawling resort complex. You'll find a decent selection of water slides that work well for kids and teens who aren't quite ready for the extreme stuff. The multi-level play structure keeps younger kids busy for hours with smaller slides, tipping buckets, and spray features. Parents can actually relax in the hot tubs while keeping an eye on the action, which is always a win. The indoor pool area stays warm and humid, so you won't be shivering between activities like you might at some indoor parks. Being part of a resort means the facilities are well-maintained, though don't expect the bells and whistles of larger destination water parks. The food options are pretty standard - pizza, burgers, snacks - but adequate for a day of swimming. Parking is straightforward since you're at a resort property. The crowd tends to be families with elementary and middle school aged kids, plus resort guests looking to unwind. It's not going to challenge thrill-seekers, but that's not really the point. This is more about convenient family fun in a controlled environment. The…
