Castaway Island at Canobie Lake Park is Open and We Have a GIVEAWAY!

Enter to win four tickets to Canobie Lake Park

August 15, 2019


All the fabulous fun that is Canobie Lake Park has just gotten even better!  The Castaway Island water park has undergone a major expansion and now features a combination wave pool and lazy river (with waves!), three huge water slides, the Lil' Squirts kids lagoon and splash pad, Rain Fortress with tipping bucket and an endless maze of slides, bridges and interactive elements, restaurants, an expanded tiki bar, private cabanas for rent, and so much summer fun!   All of this is INCLUDED with your admission to Canobie Lake Park!  You do need to be wearing appropriate swimwear and note that during peak times, Canobie Lake may limit access to Castaway Island for a short time for safety.  The water park is open 10 AM to 6:30 PM, weather permitting, through Labor Day.


Spend the day at Canobie Lake -- there's so much family fun!  Lots of thrill rides for older kids, plus all the classic family rides that my family loves, like the Antique Cars, the Carousel, the race cars, Crazy Cups, bumper cars, ferris wheel, the Mine of Lost Souls, the Sky Ride and more.  If you have little ones, there's a whole section of kids rides just for them, including fire engines, tanks, pony carts and mini bumper cars to drive, helicopters and planes to fly, bouncy vehicles, the Jungle Bounce, mini dinosaurs, and -- my favorite when I was a kid -- the Flower Power ride.

Be ready to get wet!  Bring your swimsuit so you can spend a few hours splashing at Castaway Island and then head over to Canobie Lake's water rides!  My family loves the Boston Tea Party ride (look out for the huge splash if you're waiting on the sidewalk!) and the log flume.  There are rental lockers where you can store your clothes while you get wet.

Live shows and fireworks!  Visit the Midway Stage for fun live shows throughout the day -- Critters Live appears at 11 AM and 4 PM, the Twisted Circus performs at the Dancehall Theater every day except Monday at 6:30 PM, Taylor Swift and Bruno Mars tribute shows appear on the Midway Stage at 2 PM, 3 PM, 5 PM and 8 PM,  magic shows at the Village Stage at 12:30, 2:30 and 4:30 (except Tuesdays), and even more shows throughout the park!  Plus, every Saturday evening through August 31 at 9:15 PM, enjoy a magical fireworks show over the lake.

Plenty of food choices!  Craving BBQ, pizza, Mexican, Italian, fried clams and seafood, ice cream, burgers, fried dough, boardwalk fries, or sausage subs?  You'll find all this and more at Canobie Lake's food stands and restaurants.  For a relaxing dinner, head to Portofino overlooking Canobie Lake to enjoy Italian selections and wine and beer. My favorite treat at Canobie Lake -- a decadent caramel apple covered with mini M&Ms from the Candy Shop.  I bring one home whenever we visit!
