Will say the price of admission is steep for a park this size (even with the small discount of purchasing online as opposed to at the park), however if you are a coaster enthusiast it is worth visiting just for Boulder Dash and a few rides on Phobia, as well as good for a day out if you live anywhere near here. Would visit again and would recommend, just be ready to spend more money than a typical park of this size.

I visited here for the very first time during Labor Day weekend. My kids and I had an amazing time. There were a few rides closed which was a downer but the amazing experience we had was worth the trip. Definitely look forward to visiting again. Maybe hopefully in October for the Halloween

Great visit! Fantastic COVID-19 procedures. There is only one BIG flaw with this park; the one train operations on Boulder Dash. By this I dont mean the park chooses to run one train even though the second is on the transfer track, they DONT EVEN HAVE THE SECOND TRAIN! They only have the blue train. I am curious on where the second train is. Other than this, park is solid. Nice collection of rides and friendly operators. Overall 4 star visit!

What a great place; I love this place for the family feel, actual good food and nice staff. Not to mention boulder dash which is one of the best woodies i the country. I got to say, the pandemic ops where very slow. Even on a slow day, the lines could got to 30 minutes for boulder dash. It wasnt a problem for me but could be improved a lot. Otherwise, this is a perfect, cheap, family owned fun park for everyone.

Beautiful park but the operations were terribly slow, even by pandemic standards and compared to other parks. Boulder Dash NEEDS 2 trains! Its not worth an hour plus wait with only 1 train. Hopefully the company that owns the park can get their act together.

What a great Amusement park. It’s got such a great classic feel mixed with great new rides. Tons of great places to get food. This park has water rides so bring a bathing suit but also has enough regular rides where you can have a great time even without one. This is the oldest amusement park in the US and it really has an old timer feel. This park also has rides for people of all ages. It also has wooden roller coasters that are not the best option for people with bad backs, so be cautious. Lake Compounce is especially beautiful in the Fall. With New England’s famous Fall Foliage and during Halloween time in particular there are extra fun events. The views from the park are also breathtaking. Lake Compounce itself is gorgeous and the wooded area surrounding the park are beautifully well

First time visit. Working at 50 percent as far as the rides that were open. Everyone was friendly. Wish more of the rides were open but understand under the circumstances we are in. It has rides for all ages. You can leave and come back in without having to pay. Just get the bands and hold onto your parking ticket.

Lake compounce was absolutely horrible especially during covid went Aug 24 2020.Every ride is at half capacity masks are a must the line just to get in crocodile park was over a hour wait....I would have never have gone if i knew it was like this....I understand its covid...but come on...it was NOT worth the money for tickets they should have told us rides at half capacity so lines would be 2twice as long.and not all the rides were open only about 40% how can you go and have the bumper cars closed BUMPER CARS!! for Petes sake...and masks were mandatory EVEN IN THE H2O PARK...LOL

Very family friendly park, Great Staff, food not terrible and great Waterpark.

Someone HAS GOT TO FIX their online ticket system. First of all I’m in the middle of an order for Saturday September 5th and in the middle of ordering I’m adding on tickets it’s AUTOMATICALLY putting in tickets for Sunday the 6th. Thank goodness I looked it else half of my party wouldn’t have been able to get in?! ALSO WHEN YOU TRY AND CALL the whole system is automated so you can’t talk to anyone. Like what the heck?!?! So frustrating.

I have to say Ive been to this park before today and the cost to get in is on the higher price. I called at 9a.m today 9/7/2020 and was told that the family pack 4 tickets were not allowed to be use today only on the weekend. My childrens face dropped as I had to explain to them. On this time of Covid19 not going out much. Then I get text by friends who use the family pack tickets today and they got in just fine. I Called back and spoke to Daniela and told her I would give a zero star if I could. Why would you lie to me and let other people use the weekend pass tickets and not us. No compassion or care about how the children day got ruined. Go lie to someone else. Done with this park...

A great place to have fun and a good service. Especially with the spread of the virus, they sterilize all games after every use, and there is a great commitment to general safety guidelines. I recommend it to all families.

Way too crowded. The lines were so long, during covid. It was over capacity. We were only able to get on 2 rides and the wave pool. There was no need to make appointments. It was as crowed as a normal day. No reduced capacity was put in place.

Took my niece and nephew and we all had a blast. My advice is to GET THERE EARLY. We stayed mostly in the water park, and early on it was fantastic. You could see by the afternoon the more and more people they allowed in, the less people were paying attention to the social distance markers. Irresponsible but It’s ultimately up to the customers to grow up, use their brains, and pay attention.

Lots of rides and games were closed. i understand completely that it was due to the pandemic however maybe there should of been at least a slight discount in admission which there was not. they were pretty good about social distancing. the 6 foot rule was enforced until you got to the water park section, just crowds of unmasked people with no social distancing. rather alarming.

I love this place. My children like 6flags better but I do not: as I said, I love this place. I think that it is large enough but you still have an idea of the whole park especially if you are there with younger children. The wooden roller coaster is one of the best in the country. Definitely worth the trip!

Honestly...it used to be great..lately though a good portion of the park is closed(meaning rides and food stations). The prices have been reduced a little but it doesnt seem very clear until you get to the park that many things are closed. I would steer clear of it until masks/etc are lifted and more rides reopen.

Such a cute family amusement park with a nice variety of attractions and water park experiences. The location is beautiful. Boulder Dash is no doubt a world class roller coaster and its journey through the mountain is amazing. I’ve never been on a ride with such unique views and layout.Lake Compounce is definitely a favorite summer spot of mine and I’d love to visit during their seasonal events such as Halloween some day!

The fact that they are giving out the bronze Season pass with a single general admission ticket is an absolute steal! Well earned 5 stars! The food is good, the amusement park in general is clean and organized. Please, dont take this direction since it will take you to the employee parking lot. Search for Lake Compounce parking instead.

They closed the park with NO notification or signage due to LIGHT overcast. I spent $60 on car service to get everyone here Thanks!..and no, your website says nothing. Why are you closed for no reason again. stop.

The operations definitely needed some work. The wait times were high due to the new procedures, and they did not have it buckled down. I would recommend them looking into how other parks are doing it, which is definitely much more efficient while still following new guidelines.

The place was closed and it showed open drove all the way there instead ended up going to Fright Haven. It was packed but lines moved quick..

Loved the park, recently visited on August 20th, ticket price great, covid -19 rules awesome. Sanitizer at each ride also, mask required everywhere. The only thing they need to fix is the bees. too many bees. We had to end up leaving the park my friend got stung by a bee and caught a really bad allergy. caught anaphylaxis. too many bees around and its annoying. But other wise very pleasant park to be in.

First time visiting is in the covid era. The park is mostly open. Some rides werent running but most were. While the park is operating at a limited capacity, most people go to the water park so distancing is not existent there. Most in the park are wearing masks, most in the water park are not. Its fine to go, just avoid the water park.

I’m really disappointed our trip to lake compounds was awful most rides are closed and they closed at 7 and the lines were incredibly long for the only rides they had open I don’t recommend going during the COVID period because it’s not fun at all we only got to go on 2 rides and a little while swimming and paid $75 on burgers and French fries most of their water fountains to fill up bottles weren’t working so we wasted our times in the lines to get fountain water because it was so hot out And barley could catch my breath with the mask on, all sweaty and walking up that hill with the stroller. It was my husband’s first time there because I took him because I had nice childhood memories at lake compounds but he was totally disappointed and so were the kids. Oh and we paid full price for admission they should at least offer lower admission because honestly for two rides we went on ? Was not worth the price we paid.

I def fell in love with this place. One day definitely isnt enough to enjoy the whole park with the family. The Covid protocol in place has been by far the best Ive encounter... temperature check, hand sanitizing stations all over, all staff reinforces mask wearing and 6ft distancing decals in all lines, including bench use for group as a whole. I brought my childs birthday cake and they were able to store in a fridge for me which is AMAZING! The only thing that needs a little improvement was the ice cube water in the wave and Kiddie Pool. As well as staff knowledge to basic questions or at least directing me to get an answer to a concern. These were minor but would had created a flawless experience since I have a small child and not many options on the areas to enjoy.

So we went to lake compounce on a Friday.....i will start by saying it wasnt so busy and the park was clean. All the guests were very nice and seemed to be happy the park was opened.. well I would say have of the rides were opened.... and good ride that the kids really wanted to go on was closed... no waves in wave pool. Lake was closed,, mammoth falls closed,, bumper cars closed etc...almost 1/2 the rides....the staff were out of control rude with the mask policy.....after all we are outside and keeping our distance..... Temps were checked to get in!!! Food was not great.. food service was bad and drinks were warm ....the staff did sanitize often. Take my review how you would like but my children were disappointed and we probably wont go back .

Great place to bring family with children highly recommend the only thing is that they took the free soda fountains but other then that highly recommended.

Its a wonderful place . Really wonderful. Where there are all kinds of games for children as well as for adults. There are places for a wonderful swim. I love the place

The park is beautiful it’s just the main rides said they were operational but when me and my family went on it they said that is was broken, we left and 5 minutes later the ride was magically fixed. Would not recommend the roller coasters.

Always a great time when we go there. With a great lunch for groups. Just a great place to visit

I wish I could give this negative stars. The worst experience of my life. The lifeguards are untrained and have no common sense at all. My five year old was sent down a water slide without my consent after I told them she could not swim. They would not let me down the slide after her and she began to drown. No lifeguards jumped after her and they would not let me into the pool to get her myself. A stranger had to bypass to save my child from drowning. I would not recommend going to this place at all. Worst experience of my life.

Truly amusingWe had a blast with our season pass last year. So much fun, we went almost every week. We may have to pass this year for extra precaution coz of Covid19.

I bought season passes since the first time we went this season had low crowds and it also seemed that social distance and mask guidelines were being strictly enforced. Every time I have returned since then there have been more and more people without masks on- with no employees addressing this issue. The water park is packed and even though they are limiting capacity there, it seems to push everyone to the few attractions that are open. In a 200 foot radius I counted 27 people not wearing masks. Casually hanging out, several groups of parents with children well over the age of 3 who also were not making their children wear masks. Everywhere you look at this place people are not wearing the masks. This is a public safety hazard and will definitely be responsible for outbreaks if things do not change here.

This was our first visit. We have a 8 year old boy and 4 year old daughter. Daughter liked the small rides and wave pool. My son is not a big rollercoaster fan so he was a little bored but he did several small rides. Dont follow the GPS directions completely. Once you see the signs for theme park, follow them. Wish the road in had more signage. Life guards were too programed and wish they were more attentive and empathetic to the guests. Wish the park opened earlier and there was a bit more food chooses but what is there was decent. My wife did say the bathrooms were a bit grungy. Overall it was a good visit on a humid day but not too hot. We would go back. We come from the hospitality side so we see things that others dont see. We would recommend lake compounce.

We looovvvveee this place. Season passes every year is a great deal. Rides/water is close together which makes for a more enjoyable day. Easy to navigate around. Pizza and baked potatoe are awesome!!

Ive never been here before today.. I enjoyed it more than I thought I would. A couple decent roller coasters and a couple carnival type rides, they were all fun. The biggest ride was closed. Waterpark was also fun.

Great family atmosphere, clean and reasonably priced. Spend the day, pack your lunch and you can go out to the parking lot and have a picnic on their tables provided, then go back for more fun. Spend the extra money for preferred parking , its worth it.

This place is just amazing. The staff are nice, food is delicious, and all the rides are fun. I go here every year with my friends and I always love it

It is always fun to go to lake compounce be because the water park is good the roller coaster are also amazing (even though I am afraid of roller coasters) and the food is good also I guess

Well this is the oldest running amusement park in the United States and it has a great feel and it is a great Park. This year was my first time going there so I did not know what to expect but I would gladly go again and I had a great time here and there is also a water park which is included with a mission called Crocodile Cove.

I have been bringing my children and now grandchildren for more than 30 years. It has always been a wonderful place for a family to have fun in a safe environment. I am extremely disappointed with the new management. There are many attendants and food stall workers standing around ddooing nothing with very few rides open. The rides should be open with little or no lines to bring people back. The water park has virtually nothing open. There was not one slide in the waterpark open for my 5 and 4 year old grandchildren to slide on. Most of the big kid and adult rides are closed so the lines are not worth the wait. I spend 400 to 800 dollars each year and would never again waste my money. The french fries have always been delicious but now for more than 6 dollars you get almost no fries. They said new management doesnt allow them to fill the containers anymore. I spend more than fifteen dollars on fries each trip here in the past bit they were delicious and plentiful and now they are skimpy and cold and would not waste my money on them again. DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY ON PASSES HERE.

Went on a sunny Saturday with my 4 year old. It was really fun. Theres plenty to do for a little one. Lots of fun in the water and out of the water. We booked some lounge chairs which I would recommend if you had more people and you had older kids. But it is a bit out of the way. Daniel was a big hit.

Perfect for ages 2-7 but dress accordingly. The park is lite up beautifully, smaller rides going, hot cocoa and some Santa make for a perfect little evening out. People working at the concession stands could have been more professional but overall a great night!

We have been coming here for 8 years straight ,ever since my daughter was 3. We get season passes every year. Variety of rides. Lines are not too long. Variety of dinning options. Johnny Rockets and Pink are my favorites.

Can be quite busy on weekends with long lines. They do not offer free drinks anymore unless you have the diamond or platinum pass. Lake and waterpark. Some great rides! Good coasters and they also have nice area for younger kids. Pick up and drop off area. Always plenty of parking.

Great excelent magnificent place to go with the family. Loved every minute of it entered when it opened and left when it closed 11am to 8pm couldnt get enough

Great day with the family. COVID 19 changes seem like a positive step to make everyone a bit safer.

This park is very close to where I live and I have been going here for the past 10 years. Never had a bad experience once. Im excited for their new waterslide but they need to add more dry rides.

I havent been to this place in like six years, but as a child, I loved going to this place. Their rides are very fun and this place is very well managed. The waterpark is very fun and clean. If your looking for a place to go and have fun, this is the place I recommend to you.

Been going for years and always a good time. Its best to buy season passes the year before around black Friday. Definitely a little tough being middle aged (30) with no kids (and no interest in them) since it seems to be mostly young and old, but certain days in the week and early/late in the season there are good quiet days. The Haunted Graveyard time of year is the best! Nothing like going on a coaster on a cool dark night

I like this place my children enjoy going the too..its good for the family.

Just a great outdoor water park and it of course has tons of other non water rides here as well. So close to me as I live in Shelton so its just a quick ride up route 8. Definitely a great place to come on a hot summer day. Bring the family and or friends and you will stay busy and entertained all day. If you plan on going more than 2 times get the season pass. Definitely worth it!

Best Place to go with your Friends ️

Fun place for the family

Not saft to be at time. I had to asked someone to clean a table for my kids and I to sit at the pizza shop to have lunch. Bathroom really nasty and stink. I asked one of the worker if they dont clean the bathroom , she said at the end of the day. Oh no, I have to hold my pee until I got home. I wouldnt recommend anyone to visit at this time. They allowed any amount of people in the pool area at the same time!!! Its crazy!

When you go the water is so clear me and my sister love it

If youre in Connecticut during the summer its great park to enjoy and during the holiday season the have they The Holiday Lights. Something for the whole family to enjoy.

Love it cant wait to go again definitely a nice park

Its a fun place, but every time I go there is a ride broken down. They need to create a ride that is fine without any bumps. It was fun and they had great food.

Was a decent place, there 50% capacity is BS. There are as many people as there ever were in the water park and there at half staff with half the rides open. The only parts of the park where social distancing is observed is the last 20-30 of any given line.

The rides are very fun and thrilling the food is amazing and is great for little kids

Absolutely the worst idea I’ve had all summer. Decided to give this a go and after 5 mins in the park I ended up leaving because of how awful it was. It was jam packed and for the most part staff was inattentive. I understand there is a global pandemic going on, but only having (less than?) half the park open with everyone in such close proximity in the areas that are open doesn’t make sense at all! If you’re gonna charge full prices, please make it memorable and worth while. I recommend Quassy Amusement & Waterpark, only 30 mins away.

This place is GREAT I love the rides btw boulder dash is a great coaster I love the water park I had a great time here I can wait to come back! oh btw wipeout was great and zoomer rang

Love it, best amusement park I have been in years!

What a great place to go w. The kids to see christmas light and enjoy some rides. Also the food trucks where great also.

Nice amusement park. It has evolved a lot over the years. I like the water park here, but some of the lines get really long...Cool roller coasters and flume! I always like bumper cars... Theyre a hit!Not too expensive here either. Some good food options here as well.Back in the day, I saw some great concerts here, including Aerosmith & Cheap Trick. Had tickets for Guns & Roses, but the band stiffed the people... (I believe they stopped running the rides during the concerts after Metallica came to town).Good times

Love this amusement park. Great staff. Great games. Prices are reasonable. Nice amount of rides. Lines arent crazy. Love the water park and lazy river. I would definitely give 4 stars if they still had the free soda. They literally used to be the only park to over that. I recommend going to the haunted grave yard. So worth it!!!!! Will blow your mind!!!

Great place, friendly staff, amazing memories are made here.

What a great park. Very clean and wonderful atmosphere. As good as a theme park can be and very reasonably priced.

Small amusement park. We will not be going back. Staff is friendly but not much to do there unless you bring a small child or are a teenager. The Christmas lights were pretty but I could have driven around and saw more creative displays. Basically they just thew lights up on the buildings outside of rides. The saving grace is the pictures infront of this huge tree of lights when you first get into the park. That is great! The food was mediocre and nothing special. Maybe if we had taken a small child we would have experienced more. They do have a Santa and many children activities. Also most of the kiddie rides were operating. No coasters, no ferris wheel, nothing you need to be over 4 feet tall to ride was opened.

Just close it waste of money nothin is open just the pool ppl just going to go waste they time went in and out to many ppl and is out control

Had a blast.

Truly enjoyed our time. So much to do. But they have all sorts of rides for all ages. Thanks for still continuing the family fun tradition. And prices are great. Worth every dollar. :) but i will say parking was annoying. The google maps address is incorrect for public parking. So the employee parking where it told us to go to, they were ready with several paper copies of the correct location which was just one number different. Could definitely can get that fixed. Took us a while to figure out where the parking was actually so i said I will go to the employer parking and just ask! Oh and the hours and days of operation werent on the google maps either. I tried adding information missing. But good amusement park for all ages. For sure will try to attend again.

I came here for my birthday last year it was so fun the rides were really fun and i brought my friend and he enjoyed it so much i hope this place never goes away i come here every summer and the water is fun and the pool with the big waves is really fun my favorite ride is the bolder dash and the zoomerang

Kids enjoyed this place. park that has been around a very long time but still has lots to do with many options. Watch out for the wooden roller coaster though very rough ride.

Great fun! Lots of rides. Roller coasters, bumper cars, and a water park. Great place to bring the kids theyre even rides for little ones.

Lots to do. You can relax by the lake. You can have fun on the amusement rides. There is a younger kids section. There is a water slide section. A train to see some of park. Overall a family fun place.

The kids and I could not fully enjoy the park due to all bees. We spent most of the day running away from them. Park really needs to be sprayed.

Amazing family fun! Took advantage of the family 4 pack for May and was pleasantly surprised!!! Will be taking the family again soon!

Over crowded. Too expensive for what they offer. Pool and bathing area is way too small. Food is expensive and poor quality. I wouldn’t recommended.

No free soda my bad you need a season Pass for free soda we dont go there that often to want a season pass used to always have free soda for everyone. Lot of rides closed. Used to be such a great place... I was there in August. Wouldnt waste the ride to go back even when offered free tickets after contacting them directly.

Its the best place to go

What an amazing day! Lake Compounce has many attractions and shows to entertain all types of guests. The park was so clean and welcoming! The employees were all incredibly enthusiastic and shared their positive energy with the guests. The rides were highly maintained and cared for. You can tell the staff truly takes pride in the park and what they do. I already cant wait to return to Lake Compounce. I highly recommend!

Drove here from Pennsylvania, was not disappointed. Very nice park just what we expected. Small but charming.

Fun place. But when we rented a cabana and we had to PAY for it, a police worker tried to rush us out of their saying the park was almost closing, but the cabana said that we could have it until 7:00 and it was only 6:00. We tried telling her that and she got angry. Staff wasn’t good, and I don’t think I would go their again. I prefer quassy.

My family summer destination year after year. The park is very clean and it is America’s Oldest Theme Park! I love the view from the outdoor patio in the food court area overlooking the lake. It is very soothing. You could get free drinks from the fountain drinks selections included with the entrance ticket. They recently add a campground area, Bear Creek Campground, located across the parking area.

Lake Compounce is our family fun place!

This place Was super fun the last time I went 10/10

Fun place for kids and parents; great food prices are ok. Got everything online thinking it would be faster but no service phone made for a lot of running back and forth. I saved a couple bucks but I paid for it in steps. I have to admit once I was settled the kids and I really enjoy our selfs. Wave pool was our favorite.

Great family fun May-Dec. Usually tickets are cheaper online. Season passes available and include free soda. Water park open Memorial day thrus Labor day. Special seasonal events.

Horribly slow operations, but Boulder Dash is pretty great.

My ticket was booked from weeks before for a specific day and when I got here people where buying tickets at the gate and I was told the water area had reached the maximum capacity...so what sense does it make to book from before?

Very out of the way but a lot for both young and old. The swimming areas were clean, well life guarded, and roomy. The staff was friendly and helpful. I like the fact they hired lots of high school students to let them earn money and keep most costs for guests low. Going early was the way to go.

The lake is great but you enter from middle St not lake ave middle St by ESPN thats the entrance they need to fix that on google it was on lake ave but not now been living in Bristol my whole life people are on lake ave trying to get in you cant lmao

My companion was in a wheelchair but still able to ride the rides. The staff were all helpful and extremely kind towards us both. I cant say enough how far out of their way these staff members went to make us feel comfortable and included. I was surprised and appreciated this more than I can say. Big love to Lake Compounce!

The lines where horrible and everything is soooo over expensive! But other than that I had SO much fun!

A great amusement park. It could, as most parks could, use some improvement in landscaping work, but it stands out as being a non-scummy amusement park.

I was disappointed with the customer service and the misinformation that was given to me by different people and different times.Went there for the Eid carnival.

It is a little pricey for what you get, but not crowded so you dont have to spend half your time in line. The food was way overpriced... and most stands were closed which limited your selections... they offer pictures on only a few rides.. actually only 1 I remember... the wooden roller coasters will bang you up but by far was our favorites. The little train ride was peaceful and a beautiful site over looking the lake. This could be so much more... looks like they are adding on... and we went when water park had Closed for the season...
