Giggle, Swing, Soar and Scream
Spin on into Kiddie Land, where kids are at the center of all the fun. Nine kid-sized rides let our pint-sized guests soar on the back of an elephant, take the wheel of a classic car or race their friends on daredevil motorcycles. With carousels, swings and all the kid things, Lake Compounce has what it takes to make your kids’ day the best day ever.
All Together Now!
Lake Compounce has several rides in that sweet spot the whole family can enjoy together. Zap the haunted visitors of Bleakstone Manor with your laser guns on Ghost Hunt.

And there are plenty of thrills to go around on the multi-directional Rev-O-Lution.
Family Fun in Every Season
Keep an eye on the calendar for special events throughout the year. Catch free concerts on the lake shore each summer weekend- with fireworks for July 4th. Scare up the Halloween fun during Phantom Fall fest. Thrill all day and fright all night in haunted houses and scare zones. Then make your season sparkle with New England’s favorite holiday tradition, Holiday Lights.
You Belong in a Cabana
Make it a VIP visit with a private cabana rental. You’ll have it made in your very own shade, and you can get food and drinks delivered right to your cabana. Choose from different sizes and locations, or reserve a couple of relaxing island loungers in the shade.
See You by the Campfire 🏕️
Turn your day into a real getaway with an overnight at the Lake Compounce Campground. Choose from several lodging options like a family-sized cabin, a quaint cottage, or a convenient site for your RV. Then jump in fun activities like gaga ball, horseshoes, tennis, basketball and more.
America’s First Amusement Park
Lake Compounce got its start as a picnic park in 1846. The carousel made its debut on Memorial Day in 1911. In 1929 you could get a speed boat ride around the lake for just 15 cents. Throughout the years, Lake Compounce led the way with bigger, bolder rides and can’t-miss concerts. Today the park looks better than ever as we balance new thrills and traditional excitement. As the longest continuously-operating amusement park in America, we are experts in family fun.
