Canobie Lake Park

My first visit to Canobie was during Screeemfest! Parking is easy & free - if you arrive slightly early you'll be parked pretty close to the entrance. During the first hour of opening, the lines for rides weren't too bad. Towards the end of the night, you had to wait in lines that were at least 30 minutes long. Some lines for rides like The Yankee Cannonball were 45 minutes plus. Even though we didn't get to do as many rides as we were hoping, we had an awesome time & there was so much to see. At dusk, the views over the lake are incredible. We were blessed with an incredible sunset. Lots of spooky decor around the park - we really enjoyed walking around taking it all in. The lines for the haunted houses were crazy so we chose to skip it. I was surprised by the food & drink prices. They are reasonable compared to most parks. A cocktail with a souvenir beaker was under $20 ($15 if I remember correctly), turkey leg was $13, & huge loaded baked potatoes were $9. We were all very satisfied with the food - it was filling & delicious. We had a great time at Canobie & can't wait to return!

I had such a blast here at Canobie Lake Park tonight for Screamfest. I always have a great time whenever I visit. So many fun rides, games, food and so much more to do. I can’t wait to go back again.

We spent the day here, we enjoyed both Castaway Island and the amusement park. One thing both my wife and I noticed, the lifeguards were extremely attentive, very active and moving around, constantly scanning the pool. They had a lot of staff, and all we encountered were friendly and helpful. The value for the price of admission was incredible. The park and the bathrooms were very clean and well kept. Sometimes these places can look faded and worn but we were both impressed with the overall look. There is a good mix of rides for ages 4-16. We would recommend stopping here for a great day!

What a fun experience for families!! There's something for everyone! From crazy roller coasters to cute little toddler rides! You can spend the whole day here and feel energized! Lots of restaurants and food options... essentially your basic amusement park food.. cute souvenir cups for ice's and drinks.. the kids had a blast! It's a short drive from Boston so it's convenient for people visiting the area.

Went during screamfest on a Sunday when the park opens at 1pm. Minimal waiting in line, 1/2 of the park open for rides/games and food. Free Shows during certain times. Very reasonable park fair food prices.

This park is impeccably clean! I mean, spotless. Not even a stray bottle cap on the ground. The bathrooms are spotless. The cleanest amusement park I have ever been too. The lines to rides are long, but move fast. The staff, primarily teenagers/college students, are the sweetest most helpful people! With their energy, you can tell they love their job! I can't wait to go back in October!

We bought the evening tickets on a weekend. Luckily found parking near the entry and got inside pretty quickly. However every ride had almost 20-30 min wait time. Still we got and enjoyed on various rides. It was fun with the kids. They loved it.
Tip- pack a poncho if you don’t want to get soaking wet in one of the boat rides.

What a blast ! Had a great time ! Plenty for young kids to do! Dedicated splash pad area, really cool water park for kids and probably the best lazy river I have ever been to. My kids (age 1 & 4) had plenty of options of things to do. The water park was my favorite, on hot days nice to be in the water around noon to 1

Fun and entertaining park, especially during Halloween. Love all the rides here and the haunted houses. Just the wait time to enter the haunted houses and the rides is a lot. You can get a fast pass, which will cost you extra $$, but you will be able to enter the haunted house without any wait time. Although this fast pass option can not be used for the rides, which is a bummer and you will have to wait in the lines for long hours to get on to these rides. So overall it is a pricey affair. But it's fun and worth visiting once atleast. It's more fun during Halloween coz the entire park is decorated and themed that way.

Love coming here year round! Went for the scream fest and had a blast! Lines were a 30 min wait on average (yes we timed it!)

Screemfest is lots of fun for one price you get rides and haunts!! The haunted houses are lots of fun! The actors are amazing! And fun all around the park

Best family experience and worth the 1.5 hour trip. The park is beautiful, well maintained, and offers plenty of entertainment & rides for young children, teens & adults. The amazing water park is a plus. The quality food options are incredible, ranging from BBQ, Mexican, Italian, hamburgers, hotdogs, and chicken tenders. There are plenty of bathrooms, places to eat, and rest under the many shaded areas. You can also rent wheelchairs, electronic scooters, and kid carriages. My family leaves HAPPY every time we visit!

The last time I was at the park was 50 years ago.....this is a must-see park that makes the most amazing use of space. As a result, one does not have to walk all around a large spread-out park.

I had a great time !!!!!

The owner of my workplace was generous to treat us to a picnic and day at Canobie! We had a great time.
I have been coming here since I was young. It’s very clean, and not too big. They have a water park, but that was way too crowded for us, sadly. That’s ok though, because we were able to cool off on the flume ride and the Boston Tea Party. They have plenty of benches to sit down and of course the people watching is always entertaining. I’m not good with rides, but my husband had a good time! My son is autistic, and we weren’t sure how well he would do. He tried the skateboard ride, but it was a little too intense for him. There are a lot of options for calmer activities. The food choices were pretty much standard to any amusement park. I was very happy to find a place for alcohol. There aren’t a ton of options, but they have beer located outside the Boston Tea Party ride in a cool looking old style pub, and inside the water park. They also offer AC inside some of the arcades, which was definitely needed as it was very hot that day. I had a great day, and slept like a rock that night!

Now doing Scream Fest till the end of October. Friday through Sunday with 5 added haunts. The water park part is down for the season.

Canobie is an amazing family ran amusement park that has been in operation for 121 years!!! The place just oozes charm and the staff are the most friendly I’ve seen in a park. This has been my childhood park and I don’t see that excitement changing anytime soon!

Canobie Lake is a treasure. I especially love the meticulously maintained antique amusements for the little ones. The lights at night are dreamy and the trees are so beautiful. I hope it's always there.

Best family run amusement park in New England. Easy to get to, great prices, park is small enough for easy access. Great for all ages.

So much fun!! Spend lots of time here as a kid many decades ago and it’s exactly like I remember it! So cool to relive some childhood memories while strolling around the park.

Free parking, clean park, clean restrooms, fair food prices, attentive and smiling staff, safe, fun for everyone!

This is for the screamfest that canobie does every October. The staff are very accommodating and attentive making sure the experience was issue free. The ride attendants are mostly teenagers not the carny types you expect at these things. The park was very clean. The food and souvenirs were very very over priced (3.75 for a Dasani and 5.75 for a pretzel. The haunt aspect of the park moved along very well. The park did a great job with the costumes of the actors being very realistic. We went on a Friday evening and everyone in my party had no issue with the 50 dollar price tag. Check it out sometime. It really isn't bad. Tickets were only available on the website in advance of your visit
