Canobie Lake Park Reviews

Long lines, fun for all ages, dont be suprized to wait for 20 min, only to have the person in front of you holding the line for 10 more friends or family, other than that, park is very clean, everone is extremely nice (that work there).

Really entertaining for kids. Best to get up early and beat the traffic, then stay all day, especially if you are trekking from someplace like Boston. It's pretty expensive, thirty or forty bucks a head to get in. You can exit and reenter with a stamp, and there are also cigarette smoking coralls inside. If you're scared of heights, you may want to avoid the towering waterslides and the rollercoasters. If you are after that kinetic thrill, you can get it here. Do it right and get your money's worth, if you're going to go!

I was not happy that I had to put my small over my shoulder purse in a bin, with no one keeping an eye on it. I carry money, credit cards and my driver's license in it. And if it had been stolen, your park would have claimed no responsibility.

Family friendly fun at a reasonable price. From amusements to a new waterproof a great place to s po end the day having a good time.

We had an excellent time here. Very clean and not too crowded. The games are not outrageous and kids win a prize everytime which was nice.

Went to this amusement part as a boy growing up in Massachusetts. Always LOVED going there, wish I could go back once more & ride the wonderful wood roller coaster they have!

Wonderful family spot for a day excursion. Reasonably priced; there are usually coupons and special event days, too. FREE parking. Oftentimes will have live entertainment -free of charge. Something for everyone here from toddlers to teens and far beyond.

Solid old school theme park. It was perfect for my toddler and I a New England right of passage

Great fun, great for kids. It's not too extreme for adults.

Great place to go with the kids. Ton of things to do. Specially now that they have a water park. The pricing can be real steep but if you gonna spend the whole day it can be worth it. And you can bring your own food. They could also work on repainting some of the food structures it s starting to look a little worn out.

Trying to get out of the parking lot at 6 pm was an absolute joke. Took almost an hour to get out. If there was an emergency inside the park the ambulance and fire engine wouldn't have even been able to get there. The security guards are incompetent in the park as well as in the lot.

It is a great family environment, great rides for kids and for adults. They have very good performances also. There is also a nice water park. The people that work here are very friendly and helpful.

Somewhere between 6 flags and a local carnival... i look forward to the new additions to the water park though.

Every aspect of the park is so quaint with the right atmosphere and there is sunshine and shady areas with plenty of areas to have a seat and be charmed by your favorite ride

Great for families with young kids. Wouldn't go with my young adult friends tho. Long ride lines, pricy food etc.

We went here on a school trip and the lines were short. Plenty of rides for all ages. They were building a waterpark and we look forward to returning.

got there mid afternoon, stayed til closing time. it started raining, which made it even more fun

Fourth of July weekend and the longest line was 30 minutes so we went on 2 other rides and then the wait was only 10 minutes. Hubby, me, 12, 9 and 4 yr old all had a blast. Drinks were expensive but on par with other kid venues. Going to be a yearly trip grom now on.

If you're overweight or have wide hips dont even waste your time and money because you will be terribly uncomfortable in the tiny seats for the rides. You can walk around the entire park in a hour and a half. Was really disappointed in the rope length for the ride Zero Gravity, couldn't get it secured over my legs and neither could my husband. Park is decent for kids but adults won't have as much fun. Will not be returning.

I just went to the park and was disappointed. The rides I drove 3 hours for were closed for the season! The Boston Tea party The mine if lost souls and the log flume were all closed! I understand the water rides being closed because of the lateness of the season I guess But it wasn't posted anywhere that this could happen! Even at the booking gate I was told that only 1 ride was closed. Ultimate Frisbee was closed. The Mine of lost souls is an indoor ride why wasn't that open? My family made a long trip for a half opened park that wasn't advertised as such. Dissatisfied and disappointed!!

Such of great place for the family. A must in summer time.

Reasonable price admission, plenty of rides for kids and parents, good food options, clean well kept safe park.

Amazing park for the family. My kids love to go every summer. They have a lot of rides for all ages. Free parking lot. Pay for general admission ($39) and can go in every single ride until they close. Food is reasonable for this kind of place (12.99 for a basket of fish and fries). If you have a big family you might want to bring your own snack as they allow you to do it. There are water fountains all over the place.

It has adequate rides, I'm disappointed that they did away with the old fashion dress up photography. Definitely bring your own food even though you have to go back to your car to eat it, the food is horrible except for the ice cream. The attendants aren't very attentive, rang the buzzer 3 times to get on a ride and was ignored all three times, so we didn't get to go on one of the two rides we could go on. (Disabled person) great place to spend the day, let the kids goon the rides while you join them or just sit back and relax.

Awesome place to be at, I really enjoy the short lines!

Always clean for this type of place. Try to avoid busy days as there's always a lot of people. Free parking is a plus. Wish the wooden rollercoaster had more trains running!

This was a pretty cute Park ,definitely like Six Flags better. it was rather small but they did have a couple of nice roller coasters. it's not so far away. overall it was a pretty good time!

Great place for fun and entertainment for family and kids.

With Covid 19 here they did a wonderful making us feel safe

Made our visit on last weekend of the season. Although it was a bit busy...it was an amazing day. There were hand santizers EVERYWHERE..people walking around offering hand santizer. They kept social distance in lines by having crew separate people.. i felt completely safe. The crew members would also tell you to cover your nose and mouth. Overall... Canobie did a great job through this pandemic.

Always a great time but of course expect to pay alot for basically everything. But so worth it.

I have been going here for years foods great and EVERYONE is having a great time lines are a little long but worth it I will DEFINITELY come back also if you wanna come you TOTALLY SHOULD it s Amazing

Screemfest is a RIP off. Very minimal Halloween stuff. Just a way to get you in to do rides.

Super awesome place, worth if Your kids are above 42 inches high that way they can ride on most of the attractions.
It s good for families and find the waterpark is lovely in the summer but the lines along as expected on the weekends so the best thing is to choose a weekday Mondays or Tuesdays are the quiet days.

Absolutely the best value of any amusement park around. Probably the last that doesn't charge for parking.

Great place to bring the kids and on weekend there are fireworks

Road my first rollercoaster here and loved it. Such an amazing experience at this park!

Family had a great time. Food is way too expensive but kids had a blast.

Another great day at the park cant wait to use new water next year. Will be back for scream fest

Great family rides, with "little brother" versions of most of the rides to avoid disappointing my three year old son. Great magician!

Great little amusement park. For younger kids it's great. Some rides for older kids. Clean. Not crazy expensive.

The staff was friendly. The huge downside was the clientele... so ghetto. The whole park is just a mess of trash unfortunately. Avoid going here unless you want to get stared at and possibly shanked by shady individuals. So sad that a place that held such pure and happy childhood memories could turn so ugly. It only gets worse after 5 pm. The admission is discounted and even more ghetto people enter. Never going to this mess again and I will try my best to remember the good times I had here instead of the recent grueling experience I had to endure.

Weekends equal long lines for the rides. Next time we'll go during the week.

We went for a company outing and brought my 9 year old grandson. We had a blast! The park is well maintained, the water parks stressed safety and has well trained, courteous staff, and the place is very clean!

Long lines, but that's expected. One ATM in park at the entrance, so bring cash or get money first

Nice friendly staff! My daughter had fun!...But half the attractions were closed and the food service was a mess!

This place is so much fun, I just wish they had more for the younger kids. At night time it seems more like a teenage hangout place which is cool if you're around that age or enjoy drama lol

Way overpriced and they let so many people into the park your entire time is just wading through crowds and waiting in line to get on mediocre rides. Had way more fun with my nieces and nephew at the beach.

Had an amazing time with the family this week. Couldn t recommend it more. Here s some of the highlights:

Pro:
-Carnival-style rides as well as some smaller theme park rides, but all well done.
-Park was very clean.
-Enjoyed watching Hagerman s magic show in the outdoor theatre.
-Park transforms at night and is absolutely beautiful. Stay until the sun sets!
-Excellent customer service all around
-Free parking!
-Discount tickets available many different places. We bought our tickets at Costco for $30 instead of $40 at the gate.

Cons:
-Park allows guests to bring dogs into the park, which I didn t care for.
-Absolutely no outside food or drink. Very difficult for a family with young children and one child with severe food allergies. The small amount of allergy-friendly options were not sufficient.
- Food service is very uneven, with some things being excellent and others being very poor. One of the worst ideas they have is pre-filling cups of soda and leaving them out for you to take at a restaurant, ensuring you get a warm, watery soda for $3.

Overall, it was an amazing day! We ve found a new summer tradition for our family!

Love this place and the kids had fun. Getting kind of expensive though. Understandable with the new water park.

Great family fun in a small but we'll kept amusement park. Only down fall was the new water park was not open yet.

This spectacular theme park is filled to the brim with stores, restaurants and very fun rides!

Castaway was really fun. Here are some pics of the menu!

Such a great park for families. Typically very clean.

Only downsides are some of the rides are old (but great!), which can cause the lines to back up a bit, but who cares when the weather is nice!

Easy and fun. However, the rides are quick and the lines are long.

You can't bring food however, the food is subpar, the lines are long and the servers move as quickly as watching water boil except minus the enthusiasm. The smoking areas are right beside the walk areas so if your kid has never smelled smoke, they will when they come here. The ride lines for popular rides were excessively long but that is the norm. The parking is plentiful and free. The access road barely supports the volume of cars. They have pinball machines, money sapping pickup claws, carnival style shooting, basketball and paint ball range but no matches between people. Overall, I would say this place is a grade C and so did my wife.

Like anywhere else, food n beverages r a bit pricey-but, that didn't stop us from ordering either. Heck of a security set-up to get thru -lengthy process- but, line n check-points did flow pretty steady! Definite safety for all maintained. Some rides closed, but still plenty to do still from time park opens n til close. Waterpark "Castaway Island" was great too! Plenty of hand sanitizer that park employees even bring around to u frequently, in addition to hand sanitizing stations all around! Don't forget the mask, very important part of being allowed into the park! Worth the time and the day......anyday! We had a blast!! Don't forget to ride the flume n collect your photo afterwards! We did!! Enjoy!!

I love this place. To me it's a better value than other amusement parks. I can't wait to go this summer!

The kiddie canoes at Canobie Lake Park are exactly as they were when I was a kid -- and what's a trip here if not a chance for nostalgia? The kids absolutely love it here. Go on a cloudy day to cut down the wait times.
