Canobie Lake Park

I haven’t been thinking to be like parking in years and it feels a little bit more modern than when I used to go back in the 90s. Plenty of bathrooms and it’s wheelchair accessible. If you need one, they rent one. There is food on the property and it is so so it’s your typical carnival amusement park food. The staff was super friendly even walking in through security what look like not metal detectors but scanners we had purchased our tickets online and walked in in 10 seconds the website was easy to use and we use the online map if you have young kids anywhere from the ages of 2 to 7 they have an endless amount of rides for them I was actually amazed because most amusement parks don’t focus on little kids too much. Canobie Lake Park. Does they have a great waterpark plenty of lifeguards around. I was a little sad that the train wasn’t running and the boats but everything else seem to be working fine. It appears they do sell alcohol on the property not just during Oktoberfest because there were signs that said no alcohol on this point to get on most rides, we waited no more than 10 minutes. There is plenty of parking in the parking lot and a ton of bus parking and handicap spots probably the longest ride we did was walking from the front entrance to our car, which was about a 8 to 10 minute walk. I do believe you can pay to get better parking spots. We went on a Friday and they were plenty of schools and organizations that we’re having trips. Everyone look like they were having fun. The bathrooms were super clean.

Canobie Lake Park, awesome time for the family!! We spent the day, short lines on a Friday. And ALL of the fun rides and experiences we had as kids, that we can now share with our family!! Plenty of places to stay hydrated, food options are plenty in the park, but expect to pay park prices $$$ for food & drinks. A Steak & Cheese and a beer 🍺 for lunch hit the spot. Parking was free and park access was easy. Buy your tickets ahead of time, and an easy QR scan for entry. Staff was friendly and great with the whole group. Thanks Canobie Lake Park team.

What a surprise! Many in the family recalled visiting the park during middle and high school. After quite a few years, we decided to spend our day there with our two kids and other family members. We arrived early, so parking was not an issue. We were immediately impressed by how well maintained and organized the park is. We arrived at 10am and most rides opened at 10.30am. Plenty of options for all ages. Several small arcades along the way where you can enjoy some shade. The cannonball ride is a must. We also went for a peaceful boat ride on the lake... good way to get some rest while enjoying the view. Definitely a good day!! Temperature in the low 70s, we did not spend time in the water park... but looked very nice too. Sunscreen recommended.

Love coming here. Great place for both old and young. Food is priced what you’d expect for an amusement park.. rides are in great shape & depending what day you go, wait lines can be minimal. I go during the week and longest I’ve had to wait for any ride is maybe 10 minutes. Plenty of rides for those under 48 inches, so extremely kid friendly. Water park is always packed but an amazing way to cool off during the summer.

So, first off for a park that is over 120 years old, it's tiny. Second, the prices are inflated for such a small amusement park. Third, on a positive it seems fairly well maintained (except the water features, kind of gross). Overall, a nice little amusement park, probably best visited after 5pm to get a cheaper price.

Such a beautiful family park. I haven't visited since 2011 and it looks as great as I remember. You'll find an amazing old school feeling (please ride the Mine of Lost Souls), great landscaping, many food options, amazing and friendly staff and overall a great vibe and experience. We visited taking advay of the nich ticket but for sure you can need a full day if visiting with children on a busy summer day. Really good regional park and looking forward to my next visit!

We went on a weekday and it was crowded but that didn't result in long lines. It was a hot, sunny day but there is lots of shade. However, be prepared to stand in the sun when you are in line. We took an umbrella and it provided much needed shade when there wasn't any. We ate at the little food hut. My cheeseburger was hot and char-broiled. It was really tasty. One thing they could do is provide hand sanitizer stations or hand wipes mini-packages around the food area in particular, but throughout the park would be helpful. I didn't see anyone wiping down tables when people left. There were a few restrooms but they need more and need to keep them clean. A map of the park would be helpful if it had the location of kids rides. We wanted ice cream but couldn't find a place that had it.

I just wanted to say that I had not been to Canobie Lake Park for over 25 years. Just been busy working and really did not have time for myself. But my girlfriend and her two precious daughters were in town. Which I thought would be fun to bring them to an amusement park which I was not wrong. I want to say that I was quite impressed with the park. It was very clean, not over crowded, and everybody was having fun. Food prices were not overly inflated but reasonable for an amusement park and the cost of a ticket from 5 to close is a great price for a family of 4. Not to mention that the staff is very friendly and kind. They are even though row with their jobs as someone got very sick on the Twist and Shout making quite a mess. Instead of just doing the bare minimum, a quick wipe down, and moving on. He made sure it was very clean before the next group of riders got on. The one thing that I love about this park is that they don't do the money grabbing like other parks with this speed pass. I know people will hate me on this review for hating speed pass but we seem to be living in a world where people no longer have patience where we need to have patience. We need to teach that to the children that it is important to be patience, by showing them that back in the day we had to wait to ride our favorite rides. For a Friday night the lines were really not that long. The longest we had to wait was about 15 minutes. We ended the night with a great firework show that was free with the ticket. The last group of the night to ride the swings. And the employee named Charlie running the bean bag balloon pop game, you made my girlfriends precious daughters’ night. Giving them the ability to play that game at the last moment for the night. Thank you, Charlie, for being such a kind, caring, and enthusiastic employee that loves his job and makes everybody with him very happy, loving life, and having fun. The only negative that I saw in the park was the beer prices starting at $12. Still cheaper than a Bruins game but is quite up there in price. But Canobie Lake Park is not a place really to come drink. It is a place to come spend time with the family and have a lot of fun. If you want a good night out with the family, not break the bank, and have fun. Go to Canobie Lake Park, you will not regret it.

Such a cute park. There's a lot to do here and we 100% under estimated our visit. We originally came from their tiktok for the Taylor swift experience but we will now make a yearly trip because we had so much fun! Also just a lovely part of New Hampshire

Just wanted to share our park experience. We returned to Screemfest this year for the first time in 8 years and were horribly disappointed. There were four adults in our group ranging from 24 to 56 yrs old. We were cut in line on every single attraction including rides and haunts. We were mostly cut by young teens but also by Mom's with their kids. Only one time out of the 7 or more times was there a staff person in the vicinity of the incidents. The park seemed grossly understaffed which allowed this to continue. We ended up leaving hours earlier than planned because of this. We all had great memories of this park and screemfest but sadly not anymore.

I have not been back to Canobie Lake Park in at least 15 years, somethings change and some don't. I can't believe they removed the yellow corkscrew rollercoaster. They still have Yankee Canonball wooden rollercoaster and starblaster and of course added a few new rides and expanded the water park. I love the sky ride and food options seems to be more. Ticket prices are reasonable and I went because of the amazing Taylor Swift tribute and June did not disappoint!

I could not give this amusement park anything less than 5 stars in good conscience. Relative ease of entrance. Some traffic, but even on busy days nothing to fume about. Free parking. Opportunities to get a discounted entrance rate abound. If you're with someone hurt or handicapped you get a fast pass band to the front of every line. No need to buy any food or drinks in the park. Super loose policies on what you bring in. Get your hand stamped and come and go. Never a far walk in or out of the park. Lines are standard at the rides on busy days. People cleaning constantly. Bathrooms abound. Fireworks every weekend in the summer over the lake. Fun, fun, fun! Highest recommendation!

As prices climb at the destination theme parks, now at more than $100 even if you go for a week and average it out per day, close to $200 if you only go for ONE day. Of course Canobie isn't in the business of competing with the Florida megaparks, but the fact that we can hop on I-93 and be there in about a half hour from Boston if it's not rush hour, is a really good thing that hopefully families over the NH border are not overlooking. The first big props Canobie earns is the FREE PARKING. How rare is that these days? I think Six Flags hit $40, yes you read that right. Canobie could immediately make an easy $15k+ a day just on parking alone, but they choose not to, so you have to hand it to them. And with it not even that big, I don't think they run trams. From most spots in the lot, you'll be at the front gate within five minutes. Everyone has been ssssooo friendly at the gate. One of our visits, they asked us if we needed a free ticket which was being given away by a local business. So we ended up not needing to buy all adult tickets in our group that day! They don't offer a ton of discounts anymore, but still under $50 for certain days of the week is pretty fair overall. The food is decent, like a 6/10 overall....some items rock like almost everything from the Mexican stand, and others haven't been so good like the pizza. But again, the prices are very fair and go a long way to put up with some mediocre items. I'd be giving this an astounding five stars if the rides were better. Some were just not open when we went in the kid's section, others would go down for maintenance, and their coaster collection needs to be improved upon. Some of the rides look and feel old, that can be ok at times given the age of the park but there are others that look like they need to be replaced. Our family favorite is the double-decker carousel and the train ride along Canobie Lake. But still, after all of this.....I'm happy we have this easily within driving distance. It's not a place you go to spend the night and make a few days of it, but 6-8 hours for a day does the trick and really gets the amusement fix in.

You're really not missing out on much. Everything is pizza, chicken tenders, burgers, etc... The only standout places are the fried seafood and the bbq place for being different. Canobie Lake can be summarized in one phrase: Like carnival food but worse. For a well established, historical park, they could do a lot better on the food, entertainment, games, etc... Everything is same but different. You get all the same horrid merch at the stores but the stores have different theming. There are multiple arcading areas but different theming. The park severely lacks identity. Canobie Lake sure does have a brand but it still doesn't know what it wants to be. It's has a tropical water park, weird mascots, random on and off entertainment, some carnival rides and games, a Midwest theming, etc... it's all over the place. Also Canobie Lake is very overrun with middle schoolers and people who do not know how to act! It is the Walmart of amusement parks!

Awesomeeeeeeeeeee definitely the best place ever ;) 10/10 woww definitely going again

This was a special place that I was taken to on a Thursday afternoon. It was loaded with families, camps, and people just wanting to have a good time before summer is over. It was brought to my attention that days before was the 100th Anniversary of the park being opened (cool fact). I had a warm feeling about the place since my friend told me he spent 20 years of his life going to the park with his family. And how it was always the highlight of his summer growing up. I knew from that moment it was going to be a great memory for me and for all of the people visiting the park. I had a great time. The rides were cool. Some thrill seeking, some calm but all fun nevertheless. Go & make a memory!

It's a small old fashioned amusement park my favorite ride is definitely the untamed really fun for my entire family

Wow, I was so disappointed in my visit today. I've been going to Canobie since I was a child, and my last visit three years ago was wonderful. - They do not have paper maps available. The online maps that you download are not helpful since you can only see a small portion of the park at one time on a cell-phone screen (I have a large phone, but that made no difference). The staff, if you can get them to answer you, have no knowledge of where things are, and don't want to deal with the customer. They'll ignore you until you go away. Most of them are sullen and seem to be miserable in their job. Management needs to require employees to know the layout of the park, and for them to be able to direct guests to their desired location. There were lifeguards rough housing in the tidal river with no regard for those around them. The food prices are quite high. The tables in the dining areas were dirty, and at one location the counters where the food is served were quite dirty. I actually cleaned a spot at one place before they put my food down there. I could go on, but I think you get the message. Fortunately, kids don't notice this stuff, an the six year old I had with me had a blast. I made sure of that. I won't be going back anytime soon.

This is a very up set and disappointing experience with the "Hang Time" game. First time my 4years old son tried, he only can hold 10s. He was very up set because he didn't win the small prize( little jelly fish stuff animal), he cried so bad. Therefore, my husband get into the line and tried to win the prize for him. My husband hold for 1mins and won the middle prizes. We asked can we use the middle prize to exchange 2 small prizes because we have 2 kids. And they want the same small prize. The staff he agreed 1 middle prize exchange 2small prizes. However just at that moment, the staff who wear blue shirt( I guess is a supervisor )jump out and said NO!One middle prize can only change to one small prize. Now the kids are disappointed again and up set for the whole day during we are in the park. I could understand the park might have their own policy , but as a customer I don't feel like satisfaction on this ( blue shirt) staff the way to handle this issue. I would like to bring you attention that customer service is the most valuable part to bring back the customer.

Not happy with the treatment from Sara on the tube slides, She was not only rude, but totally discarded me when I asked to speak to somebody other than her so I had to search for other employees to help me out with my situation. A lifeguard by the name of Jay helped me out, solved the situation and made the experience better, but Sara robbed my granddaughter of going down the slide which she is 49 inches with her friends, that experience will never come back personally because of this young girls behavior I think that she should get fired

I usually visit every summer and sometimes in the fall for the famous "Screamfest" they do every year. But I always have a blast. Food is great especially the popcorn and fried dough. If you love water parks, you'll love it here. If you love roller coasters, then you will absolutely LOVE the ride "Untamed" The only thing that I don't like about this place is the fact that you can't take devices like a GoPro on the rides (My dad wanted to do that) Either way, great great place

We went here for scream fest and had to leave after 4 hours and 3 rides ride because the lines were so long that they couldn't even be contained. They need to cap how many people can go in to the park at a time, stagger guest arrivals, and/or add new rides. Park hasn't been updated in years but yet the prices keep rocketing to the sky. Won't be going back. Sad I wasted the money last night but I bet nothing will be done considering they don't even bother to reply on here to customers.

Best amusement park in New Hampshire. It's never dirty and a lot of attention goes into the details.

I shit my pants on the pleasure wheel. I would not recommend this for people who are afraid of hights. Ps dont ride in cart 4 there will be remnants of shit and piss on it. But overall the park is a fun experience.

The local union 17 has a gathering for their family's here and my husband would take our daughters whom really enjoyed it , including my step daughter when she was young . Now she's grown up and has her own family ! Long time tradition

My family and I came here for a day in July. Arrived early to get a closer parking spot and beat the crowds. Tip for future visits. If you plan to do the waterpark at all, do that early in the day. We did the rides first and the waterpark later, and there was absolutely nowhere to sit for any adults not in the water. This made things difficult for the more mature members of our party, as the sun was bright, and shade was limited. Anyway, mental note for next time. The rides were fun. The food was good. The kids had a blast (and the adults too). Favorite part was probably the log ride, because we all got to ride it and we all got soaked. A much needed refresher on a hot summer day. My dad and I enjoyed the clam strip meal with fries and I added a dole whip ice cream from the waterpark for dessert. Both were very tasty and enjoyable.

When I was a kid, my uncle used to tell me, "Canobie Lake Park is like a poor man's Disney World". A few decades later, I'm inclined to agree. As most of you probably already know, becoming an adult is a strange, yet intriguing journey. Somewhere between college (or whatever) and getting your first entry level position, you start to care about things like bills, taxes, and the prices of things. Like amusement park tickets. Obviously, your average 8 year old isn't gonna give a flip about the fact that their parents just spent 5% of their hard earned paycheck getting themselves and their family of four into a modest, New England amusement park. One thing I DO remember about being a kid was that tickets used to cost somewhere around $16. Mind you, this was sometime during the early 90s (yes, I'm aging myself a bit here. Bite me!). Now that tickets are TRIPLE what they used to be back when my greatest adversary was acne and midterms, I expect a little more bang for my buck. Nothing earth shattering, mind you. But...something within the realm that is worthy of Canobie. Sure, there's plenty of open rides. But thanks to short staffing (or possibly even safety concerns), there are also a fair amount of closed rides. Though I can't name them off the top of my head, that's neither here nor there. Because there's one major take-away from this "TL;DR" segway: there should be more going on here for the price we're paying. Don't get me wrong--this park is fine by NH standards. The thing is, when you travel as much as I have, you form a basis for comparison. So, let me break it down for you all. If you've never left the state of NH, then you'll likely think this park is the most epic spectacle you've ever gazed eyes upon. And honestly, it can be. Then....you experience things like Six Flags, Water Country, and the aforementioned Disney World and you go, "Ya know....50 bucks oughta get me more than an old fossil of a rollercoaster older than my grandpa and overpriced food court cuisine". I'm oversimplifying, of course. But that's basically the summary of Canobie. It's entertaining, but nothing to write home about. The lines are still pretty long, which means you spend approximately a third of your day MINIMUM waiting to even get on a ride. Most of their food spots take contactless payment and there is hand sanitizer everywhere. A word of caution: you practically get strip searched on the way in (because, ya know....weapons). I'm talkin' full on metal detectors and rent-a-cops. So, if you wear a belt with a huge ass metal buckle like I often do, just be aware of that. I would also highly suggest sunscreen and a bucket hat, since shade DOES exist here, but is also pretty limited. This is essential if you plan to visit the mini water park inside. There's also a haunted house thing they apparently open around October. I've never been, so I can't tell you if it's any good or not. All I CAN say is...Canobie Lake Park is worth about 3 pretentiously priced tickets worth a king's ransom out of 5.

It a great park. Very clean. Staff is helpful and friendly! The kids love all of the rides! My one and only gripe is I feel outraged at the cost of concessions. The cost of admission for a family of 4 is already about $200.00. Do we needed to be further gouged by the extremely inflated cost for a bottle of water? I know, I know. Everything costs more now. This just frustrates me.

I would have given them a stellar 5 stars (I seldom do that), but when I walked past the Paintball station, I literally almost lost my lunch. Seriously. I HAD to step away from the RANCID sour milk smell. AFTER getting my act back together, I questioned the poor attendant that they had stationed there. They proceeded to explain that the "little pond" (that is located there) is only drained ONCE a YEAR!! (WHY there's even a pond there is a mystery, and the putrid stench was even a bigger mystery). Maybe ya just need to put a straightforward paper target? ‍ Anyway... I stood and watched as EVERY person walking up to the station, covered their face and then took several steps backwards in shock & disgust. I have NO idea why an organization would blatantly allow such a NASTY health violation. (This HAS TO BE! The stench was out of this world). Other than THAT ... the day there was AWESOME!

Today I went to Canobie Lake with my daughter, son in law, and there little family of 3 children ages 5,3, & 16mos. I was quite amazed at how nicely this day went. Every single person on the staff we were in contact with was Awesome and Polite. The park was clean, the gardens and grounds were impeccably kept. The restrooms clean and serviced. I can't say enough how pleasant the day was and how pleased I was to see the park in full swing, all rides in service and excellent customer service. Thank you to the whole staff! It was a great day filled with lovely memories! If you haven't been this summer, you must visit Canobie Lake Park, New Hampshire!

I could not even get in with a reservation on the weekend.Wanted to take my disabled son but it won't let me put a date on line.Terrible website.

MOST LAZY WORKERS EVER. they don't do anything and take forever to move the line along, the ride has only ran twice in a half hour. A HALF HOUR. Ice jet dude especially!!

Used to be such a great place to bring the kids for a day of fun, so much so that we got season passes for Christmas. So far we've been three times since opening day. The first time we went it was quiet and calm and nice. We have two special needs kids and with each band they can get themselves plus three on a ride. We went with a group of 7 and when we approached the rides, we were denied useage of our special needs bands, and if they don't deny you they make it very difficult to go as a group and purposely make you wait longer than if you waited in line. the entire purpose of these bands is for people with disabilities, and this includes non visible disabilities such as Autism. On top of that the lockers rarely work and they make you jump through hoops to get a refund. People cut in line and if you say anything the staff just say oh well. There's also so much alcohol everywhere and drunk adults stumbling around, and just openly vomiting on the walkways. One plus is the water park is very clean and fun.

I will definitely such going here. It's loads of fun for the whole family. A lot of stuff to do. Been a few times and I can't wait until the summer to go again.

we visited Canobie Lake Park with another family the place gave us memories we will certainly remember. The roller coasters are thrilling and the carousels are lovely we didn't go on any thrill rides and canobie is full of fun rides and some truly amazing. shows we went to a show called tribute to Taylor swift and it was lovely. The food is ok. But when you go to the water park section some of the flooring is rough and it's easy to trip and get scraped but aside from that it's a lovely place for all ages and the parking is free!

(18 y/o f ) I was fat shamed by employees and nothing was done about it, even called to follow up and they told me that they can't guarantee that a manager will even get back to me we also left contact information and nothing was done.

Fun experience, however I was on the cars ride and I didn't hear when I was told to stop and kept going and then I was told to again, so I stopped the car when I was told to, and my friend leaned over and accidentally hit the gas pedal and we bumped into another car by mistake. The man, (I didn't get his name) rudely yelled "STOP THE CAR" then I heard him say go and I wasn't even about to drive because I knew he was talking to someone else, but he screamed "NO" to my friend and I as if we were dogs! Besides that, pretty good experience.

Great park since I live close by, and their are a few coasters which are also thrilling. Generic food, (junk food) which you would like to avoid for normal high prices, but other than that the park is good. One downside is that the water parks "lazy river" is too crowded and only a 2-3 big slides that aren't that thrilling. Otherwise great park for anyone living close. Also free parking!

I love this place, me and my daughter go every single summer and we try to go to screamfest every year last year. We missed it but next year we are not missing it this time.

I hadn't been to Canobie Lake in over 25 years, and went back on 8/27/23. The ticket pre-paid online was $56. I went on one of the last few Sundays before the end of the Summer. The park was jam packed and it was about 73 degrees, but humid. The park was clean. By 11:00am, the lines for the major roller coasters was about a half hour to 40 minute wait each. I think that's WAY too long for people who paid so much to get in. I didn't ride them, but a few others did. I'm mostly a gamer. I played a few new Skee-Ball machines in the Casino building, and old Skee Ball lanes in the Wild West themed section of the park. I played a lot of the random amusement park games that were mostly $3/game but ranged anywhere from $2/game to $10/game. I found a few .25 arcade games like the old Skee Ball lanes and a Three Stooges version of Whack A Mole. If you play machines that give tickets, there aren't any worthwhile prizes, and no candy, just pencils, bandanas, whoopie cushions, and anything else better like a board game would be much cheaper to buy off Amazon. They are stingy with the tickets. The games are fun though. Me, and a few adult friends/family also in their 40s, got a lot of laughs playing the random amusement park games for stuffed animals, upgrading prizes as we went along. We shot some paintball and that was "okay." The guns are fairly accurate but need a bit more torque to hit targets far out at a distance. We did a puzzle room that was expensive and horrible. We could barely hear the monitor for the intro, there were no "clues," to start the scenario and we failed our 10 minute mission that cost $25 for three people. Stay away from the puzzle rooms. I walked away wiith three medium sized plush prizes and two little ones from various games. The ladies with me won prizes too. The food was what you'd expect. We got a good size fried dough for $6.50 and a soda was $3.50. Then, the other ladies had BBQ at the BBQ place and they enjoyed it. I got whole clams (with bellies) and fries for $25. The clams tasted a bit burnt, but they weren't burnt, so the oil was just old and hadn't been changed. That was at about 6pm and they closed at 7pm. Just don't get the clams late in the day. I bought two pink lemonades, one with the fried dough and one with the clams. The lemonade is good, not too sweet, not too tart. The teens with us had fun. They did their own thing and had fun. It rained once for about 10 minutes, and we found shelter near one of the games. We didn't get wet, so it worked out. The bumper cars were fun too. I brought $400 with me to spend, gave the teens $50, ate fried dough, clams and a pretzel, and played a ton of the games. I still had more than half the money left. I call that a success. It was just too crowded in there, and long lines at rides were common, and to get any of the snacks too. Get there as soon as they open, jump on whatever rides you can early, and then hope for the best. I had fun, but I will plan my activity better the next time.

Respect one of the original trolley parks!!! We bought platinum passes after brining our son for his first time; he just loved it so much. It's a great place for families, and it's IMMACULATE. Seriously - this is the cleanest park I've ever been to. The staff rules, too - everyone is so nice. Hey, Canobie: see you next weekend!!!

Ignorant and discriminated owner. The park is pet friendly but the truth is not and we wasted 2 hours drove there. We were rejected to bring our pet pig who's frenchie sized little pig. The owner told us the pet pig makes a lot of noise than dogs and destroy things while the pig is quiet and chilling.

THIS PLACE SUCKS , they need a major upgrade when it comes to rides . I'm talking more roller coasters that don't last 2 mins , a longer layout would be better . The only thing good about this place is the candy apples honestly I don't come here because this place never changes or changed from when I was little ... out with the old in with the new people ‍

It was good. Water was crazy expensive. We went on a very very hot day. Water fountains weren't working / were broken / weren't serviced / hygienic. Water bottles were priced at 4.50/5.00 and I was there with 3 children, and those machines were cash only. We spent money on bottled water at the shacks a couple of times for the 4/5 dollars but they too were running out of bottles. ATM? Out of cash, out of order, couldn't find. Huge shout out to to the seer dip n dots girl who saw us on the brink of passing out and gave us 3 cups of ice. We had to cut our stay short due to the water issue and lack of cash. Water really isn't a luxury lol. We kinda need that to survive. Especially when you cannot bring outside food/drink in. Aside from that we had a nice time.

Second year returning to CLP. Brought our 2 kids again, had a blast last year. This time, had a couple bad experiences before it started downpouring less than an hour into our arrival. Waited with (already) upset kids in the rain for a half hour only to find more and more rides becoming unavailable. Decided it was time to leave, since rides were closing but they kept the place open. Escorted our crying children out to the parking lot and waited an additional 45 minutes before leaving. Followed up with an email, hoping to recover some amount of what we paid for full access to the park, only to have a guest services manager follow up to inform me that unless I stopped at the gates on the way out, in the rain, with crying kids, there was nothing that could be done. Thanks for your money, have a nice day. Will not return. Will actively discourage others from going. Will share this experience with as many folks as possible. Save your money. Your family experience is not in their list of goals.

Great family fun for me, my husband and our family this past summer! 2 grandchildren (1 & 4) who had a GREAT time! We had been there many many times over the years and have never been disappointed. Great programs for the disabled. Looking forward to going back in future years, my granddaughter, who is five now certainly is looking forward to Canobie!!!

Real fun place to go. Lots of rides and activities to do and see. Plenty of parking. My family has been going to this park for over forty years and always have had a great time. Highly recommend.

Security is horrible. Just groups of unsupervised children running amuck!! Not worth it, at all!!

This place sucks now, they let way too many people in, you spend your whole time waiting in lines, total rip-off, what a bummer, greedy owners don't care about the customers, never going back... Screemfest is even worse, spent all night in line...

Went with kids and their friends (ages ranged from 7-13) and everyone had a great time. I've never been here before so it was an interesting experience. I was expecting crazy long lines but surprised that all rides had pretty short lines. There is an abundance of rides for the little kids and even a few for the older thrill seekers. we spent most of our day there and I wonder if we maybe went on ALL the available rides. There was plenty of food and drinks available for purchase. They wouldn't allow us to bring in any liquids so that was unfortunate. Overall lots of fun for all ages. I would recommend this place for families with young children or early teens.

They are actually open again as of July 16th, 2020! This is one of my places where I have to go at least once every summer. I have been coming to Canobie Lake Park ever since I was a child in the 60's, and it never disappoints! Now I come with a friend and her children, so that is my pretense for going, but really, I want to go on the rides! They have a wonderful carousel there that dates from the early 1900's, and a classic wooden roller coaster. And bumper cars, of course, plus a lot of other classic and new rides as well! The park is beautifully maintained, with lots of trees for shade and nice plantings. They also have a giant new water park area! It's just a fun place that has something for everyone.

Canobie lake park is a annual family tradition. They continue to expand and update the park and have great entertainment. Too bad in 2023 they had to close the park so many days due to weather as well as a staff shortage. Hopefully they can expand and get the staff needed in future years to have the right impact on the community.

Amazing lake view and a clean, fun park. The rides are limited but all are fun and wait times were not crazy! The screamfest in the Fall is also lots of fun. Would recommend!

Read for 4 stars: way too expensive. It's pretty much a larger fair. Not many big rides. However, even on a busy day, we didn't wait in line for the bigger rides for more than 30 min. So they are pretty efficient. Employees are nice! There's a new water park where we spent most of the day, so that was a nice addition. Park is clean! Loved it!

So irresponsible, terrible, kids went on the water slide ride. No picture was taken, people at the photo booth only responded as "I'm sorry". I asked to have the kids redo the ride right away for the picture. They replied that's not fair to the ppl who are waiting in line. I said what's not fair, my kids waited for one hour too, but didn't get what it supposed to be.

So. I wanted to LOVE canobie lake park. My bf and I had been talking about going forever and finally made plans and went for it a day ago. We were both super excited and had high hopes but unfortunately my experience wasn't as good as I had hoped for. Got there upon opening on a Monday and it was fairly busy due to what looked like a camp field trip. They should have the workers measuring the kids at the back of the line because we wait behind all these hyper small children and they basically all got turned away right before the ride and now they have to keep passing by us out of line. Made no sense. Also. NOT happy with the discrimination I had felt by a particular female worker operating the skateboard ride. I wore a very cute and appropriate crop top and shorts set..not swimwear...actual clothing which bared nothing and covered all important areas. The entire time I stood there she cast me dirty looks and in front of other park goers very rude might I add says "um do you have a shirt to put on" "you need a shirt to ride this ride". Well this is my shirt. Sorry you're jealous and can't comprehend fashion but I did not appreciate that and it actually pissed me off the rest of my time there. Why did no other operator say that to me or have an issue with my outfit which might I add got compliments on ALL day. But its ok that I've seen more ass cheeks,saggy cleavage,and people loaded in tattoos at your park that I ever care to see riding without being questioned? My inch gap of skin between my top and bottoms is more offensive then THAT??? OKAY. Trying to embarrass me only leads to me never giving this park my business and time ever again. I will also slam this place to anyone that will listen so there ya have it.. Other then the rude little B. The park itself was mehhhh. Rides were confusing as far as entrance/exit and most of the workers just looked unhappy. The food at portofino was all pre-made not what I expected. Sad because this park has potential to be great but it just isn't. Santa's Village is light years better in every way and that's where I will continue to go where I'm treated with respect and feel welcome.

Too crowded! Hardly any rides open. What is the point of opening when you don't have enough people to run rides? An hour wait for every single ride. Cannonball had 1train running when it really needed 2! $40 to get in and do nothing. So much for the reservations? Offering season passes was a BIG mistake! Way to ruin a family friendly amusement park. FYI... it's cheaper to go to 6 flags!
