About Each Park
Six Flags Hurricane Harbor
Massachusetts
Six Flags Hurricane Harbor in Massachusetts brings that classic Six Flags energy to the water park scene, and honestly, it's a solid combo. You get the best of both worlds here - cool off in the water park during the hot afternoon sun, then hit the dry rides once you've toweled off. The water slide selection covers all the bases, from family-friendly tube slides that let parents and kids ride together to some legitimately intense body slides that'll get your heart pumping. The wave pool is where most families end up camping out for a good chunk of the day, and I get it - there's something satisfying about those artificial waves rolling in every few minutes. The lazy river does exactly what it should, giving you a break from all the climbing and sliding. What I really appreciate about Hurricane Harbor is how it fits into the larger Six Flags experience. Your admission gets you into both parks, which means you can strategically bounce between water and dry rides based on the weather and crowd levels. Smart families hit the water slides early when lines are shorter, then migrate to the coasters during peak water park hours. The kids area is well-designed with smaller slides and interactive water features that keep the little ones busy while parents can actually relax nearby. Food options are typical Six Flags fare - nothing groundbreaking but plenty of choices when you need fuel. I'd recommend bringing your own snacks if you're trying to…

Crocodile Cove brings a touch of adventure to southeastern Connecticut's water park scene. This family-friendly outdoor park captures that classic New England summer vibe with a reptilian twist that kids absolutely love.

The theming isn't overdone, but you'll spot crocodile touches throughout that give the park its personality without feeling gimmicky. What really sets Crocodile Cove apart is its manageable size. You're not hiking miles between attractions like at some mega-parks, and parents can actually keep track of their kids. The lines move fairly quickly, even on busy summer weekends, though I'd still recommend arriving when they open to claim your spot. The park draws mostly local families from the Connecticut River Valley area, creating a relaxed, community feel you don't get at the big tourist destinations. Bring your own snacks if you can - the food options are pretty standard water park fare. The changing facilities are clean and well-maintained, which isn't always a given at smaller parks. Parking is free and usually plentiful. The staff tends to be local teens who actually seem to enjoy their…
