About Each Park
Pump House Indoor Waterpark Jay Peak
Vermont
Pump House Indoor Waterpark sits inside Jay Peak Resort's main hotel, giving you a solid water park experience right in the heart of Vermont's ski country. The space feels surprisingly roomy for a resort waterpark, with high ceilings and plenty of natural light streaming through large windows that show off the mountain views. The centerpiece is a decent-sized wave pool that gets pretty busy during peak times, but the waves are gentle enough for younger kids while still being fun for adults. You'll find a handful of water slides that range from mild to moderately thrilling - nothing too extreme, but they'll definitely get your heart pumping. The lazy river winds around a good portion of the park and moves at just the right pace for floating with a tube. For little ones, there's a dedicated kids area with smaller slides, water features, and shallow pools that parents can easily supervise from nearby seating. The hot tub area is a real highlight, especially if you're visiting during ski season - there's something perfect about soaking in warm water while snow falls outside. The park gets packed during holiday weeks and ski season weekends, so arriving right when they open gives you the best shot at shorter lines and prime poolside seating. Food options are pretty standard resort fare - burgers, pizza, nachos - but the prices reflect that resort markup. The changing rooms and locker facilities are well-maintained and spacious. This place works really well for families with mixed-age kids…

New Hampshire
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…
