About Each Park
Splashtown USA
Maine
Splashtown USA in Saco sits right next to Funtown Pier, making it part of Maine's classic seaside amusement experience. This outdoor water park brings serious thrills to the Pine Tree State, and that loop slide they're talking about is no joke. The Tornado is their headliner - a massive water slide that actually sends you through a complete 360-degree loop. It's one of only a handful of these rides in the world, so yeah, you're going to have bragging rights. The park works well for families since there's a good mix beyond just the extreme stuff. The kids' area has smaller slides and water features that won't terrify the little ones, while teens and adults can tackle the bigger attractions. The wave pool generates some decent waves, and the lazy river gives you a break between adrenaline rushes. Since this is Maine, the season runs roughly Memorial Day through Labor Day, with weekends extending into early fall if the weather cooperates. Get there early on summer weekends - by noon, the good lounge chairs are taken and lines start building. The combo tickets with Funtown Pier next door are usually worth it if you're planning to hit both parks. Pack reef-safe sunscreen because you'll be outside all day, and the Maine sun reflects hard off all that water.

New Hampshire
Candia Springs Adventure Park brings classic water park fun to southern New Hampshire with a laid-back atmosphere that families absolutely love. This outdoor park focuses on what really matters - keeping everyone cool and entertained without the overwhelming crowds you'll find at bigger destinations. The water slides here range from gentle kiddie slides perfect for toddlers to more exciting tube slides that get tweens and teens pumping with adrenaline. The lazy river is honestly one of the best parts - it's long enough to actually relax but not so slow that kids get bored floating around. The wave pool creates just the right amount of action without being too intense for younger swimmers. What really sets Candia Springs apart is the family vibe. Parents can actually relax here because the layout makes it easy to keep an eye on kids no matter where they wander. The kids' area is fantastic, with smaller slides, water features, and a giant tipping bucket that has little ones squealing with delight every few minutes. The staff keeps a close watch on safety without being overbearing. Food options cover the basics well - pizza, burgers, and snacks that won't break the bank. The portions are decent and the prices are reasonable for a water park. I always tell people to grab a locker early since the good spots near the main attractions fill up fast on busy days. Arrive right when they open if you're visiting on weekends or during peak summer weeks. The parking…
