I love Funtown! Rides are fun and most employees are friendly and efficient. Only negative is the prices for day admission ($50-$60) and some parts of the park need music. Overall Funtown is such a hidden gem and is very enjoyable! read more

Basketball game is amazing! You can win Cooper Flagg, LeBron James, and so many more jerseys. I got 15 on my second attempt which is one away from the season high. If you get 21 you can win $500! Make sure to stop by Mainely Fries, the cheese fries are delicious. Skeeball is quite affordable at 25¢ per game but a lot are out of order. Rides are fun, but Excalibur at night is the highlight of the day especially if you can catch it during the fireworks. read more

Went for the YCMF two years in a row, both times were amazing! I go back every year. Always an amazing time, very family friendly. read more

Funtown Splashtown USA - Ferris wheel - Amusement Parks Near Me - Saco, Maine

Funtown/splashtown is really an institution at this point. Lots of rides for little kids, decent amount of rides for older kids. Splash town is a great place to cool off on this hot summer days. If they had a wave pool or lazy river it would be great for a low involvement activity. They have two large group slides (party of 4). They have two drop floor slides that will have your heart in your throat. They gave 4 other racing slides in which you lay on your stomach. (Note to anyone, those last two bumps at the end might hit you below the belt) The park allows you to come in and out which is great if you bring your own lunch. And parking is free. The only thing those ticket prices do seem to keep rising. I'm sure finding and retaining staff is not cheap in this day. But I do hope the lights stay on at funtown/spashtown read more

The Funtown part needs a bit of an overhaul, but it's fun for kids and teens for sure. The food is absolutely horrible, so make sure you eat before. We had french fries, and they obviously hadn't changed the oil all day, and the fries were oily and soggy. Yuck. The rides are a bit Janky, not smooth, so you come off feeling like you got whiplash. Decent old school ride park that needs some upgrades. read more

Very very expensive and they won't let kids get on rides even if there tall enough but they say you need a wristband of a diffrent color and no one told us this at the gate, deep down I've always knew that place was a hole, but today really cemented this truth into my head, we come here each year for a birthday present but I think I'd rather go to palace playland at this point at least there's real food and options around. read more

What can you say about an amusement style park in the wonderful state of Maine. Don't expect too much. One of the big drawbacks is the simple fact that they have not updated anything in this park in years and years so if you go once, then you have seen everything it has to offer. I feel as if it is catered to smaller children for the most part and outside of a couple of ice cream stands or some arcade games, I think I would rather meander down to Old Orchard and get the same effect right on the ocean. So, if you haven't been, it is a good time to go and check it out but if you have been and are looking for something exciting and new, this is not the place for you. Lastly you can definitely tell that they are short staffed and really looking to bring on some help and it is surprising that teens aren't flocking there for a fun summer gig. They have even adjusted some of the hours and times because of the lack of help. Hopefully they will upgrade some and keep it fresh in the future. read more

This life guard named Colin or something let these girls cut the line and tried to give them a floatie when they didn't wait their turn. And all he does is stand there and give ppl floaties and enforces cutting and that's not a good representation of a nice person. he should get off lifeguard duty and work in one of the food shacks. read more

Looking for an awesome family park that has something for everyone well this is totally it! This park was awesome we came here after 3 so that we could get in at a cheaper rate as we didn't intend on spending a ton of time here it as it was all about Excalibur my 325th coaster credit and I must say that it definitely ranks up towards the top of the wooden coasters I've ridden all over the country an awesome ride from start to finish with just the right amount of airtime to fun elements you really can't go wrong! Another thing about this park is that it was very clean I work at a park so this is one of the things I always look for and for me to say it's well taken care of is definitely a compliment to the associates here as I don't always say that! The go karts rocked as well as they had a fun layout and it was just super awesome to race as it's been a long time since I've done this! The water park was a good size and had some cool slides but like I said before it was all about Excalibur and just the whole awesome vibe here! Overall super cool park I hope to see them get another coaster in the future as that would just make an already cool park that much better! read more

The park was really good and fun but they closed the park early because of weather. But we got free tickets because it closed early... YIPEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE read more

It's great and all, but seriously, we NEED more roller coasters. One doesn't cut it. The Excalibur was good though.

Alright. Updating my old review now that it's 2024 and we have become season pass holders for the last 8 years or so. Our kids LOVE it here. Food is still awful, IMO. Very few items are decent. Most are not. I mean, ice cream and crap is good (pricey, as expected) and their cheese fries hit the spot. But nothing else has been good IMO. Bring your own food in. Seriously. The attractions are all taken care of and well maintained. Splashtown is good as well - well-staffed, I feel like their attractions are monitored well, employees are generally friendly. The park is very clean, I will say that. Very. I love that. You don't realize how much it matters until you go somewhere that is not clean. read more

Been here many times, hasn't changed much - still a great time. Kids enjoy it. One thing keeping it from 5 stars is hours open: used to be open until 9-10pm and since last year they close at 6. Used to be: spend 11-5 at Splashtown, then cool off with sun dimming at Funtown until closing at 9. Otherwise a great time by all. read more

Honestly when you take into consideration amusement parks/water parks when you think of Maine, there is no other option besides Funtown Splashtown USA. Been here many times, likely started going before I can even remember with my family when growing up. Considering the size and the fact you can get both the amusement park rides and a full water park experience at the same place is a great deal. This is a place you should bring your kids to and give them life long memories. Great place for a family adventure. Start your day going to the rides, including some of my favorites; Log Flume ride, Astrosphere, and the Sea Dragon. Then finish off your day cooling off in the Splashtown section with lots of options for slides to enjoy. The reason for the 4-star review is Funtown/Splashtown just can't compare to some of the bigger names in amusement parks but like I said you have minimal to no other options in Maine. This is the number one option in the area though. read more

Funtown is the best amusement park in the area I highly recommend, rides are so fun my teenagers love it. Now the bad part, splashtown. While the water slides are fun the lines are always super long. Overall funtown is awesome but aquaboggin is a better watermark than splashtown. read more

I freaking loved Splashtown! Took our families here on a not so great summer day in Maine and we all had the best time! There was so much to do for all ages! There were so many epic water slides to go on; we were screaming for our lives on some but it was super fun! And there was the cutest area for the little ones with mini slides and water activities, enough for everyone to enjoy even! The rides were also a ton of fun from the little carousel to the roller coasters, the swings, and log flume! A ton of options for rides for all ages. And in the park they have games like water guns and popping balloons and an arcade. I wish there was an easier way to get change to play the games, as they have a very antiquated system only allowing one person to handle money, but we still had fun and won prizes nonetheless. They have snacks and food, nothing too spectacular but enough to hold you over - pretzels, hot dogs, ice cream, fries and boardwalk type foods. Staff seemed friendly but not much interaction with them for the most part. Make sure you check out the tattoo booth too which the kids (and us adults!) loved! All in all, a super fun place to spend the day! Can't wait to go back! read more

What a fantastic day we had! Definitely need to return in the future. I was astounded at the amount of security and other safety measures that were in place. It was nice to see. Lines for Splashtown were long but Funtown was reasonable. I would just bring a lunch the next time we decide to go! There are plenty of food shops but lots of places to sit and picnic! read more

Mid park, not even the best water park on the street. The worst part is the parking. Careful, in august they have grass parking, and we got stuck in the lot for 1 hour because we had to wait for someone to leave. They need parking staff bad. Not cool :( read more

First time here since I was a boy. My sons, 11 and 8, had a good time at both parks. The lines were manageable and all were running. This was a pleasant surprise. Food is terrible and overpriced, but they do permit you to bring in food and drinks. They need to open earlier than 11am but overall it was a great family outing. The log flume still rules! read more

The mortar strikes barreling through my memory reminding me of my life outside of nam, get this shit over with your wife needs you. Your so called "buddies"pillage your civilian clothes at any chance they get. A bulled wizzes by my ear, BAM another guke stupid enough to miss. This is what you get to relive when you go to "fun" town splash town. The bangs of the machines in disrepair bombard my ears forcing me back into the life I swore to forget. And my son? He had to see me suffer, me, in my darkest hours relived at this wretched "amusement" park. I call it hell. read more

Make sure your Maine visit includes a stop in neighboring Funtown U.S.A. For over thirty-five years children of all ages have been thrill by this parks most thrilling rides, The Thunder Falls log flume. read more

I came here past 6pm so it was definitely worth the price ($11) but not sure if it's worth full price as they should have more unique/thrill rides. We barely had to wait in line for any of the rides. The longest we had to wait was ten minutes for the Astrosphere, which was SO worth it! Best ride in the park so I recommend checking that one out. The food is overpriced but expected, as it's an amusement park. Parking is also free. Overall, the park is very clean and well kept and I was very impressed. Even all of the benches and tables where people eat. There was barely any trash or food on tables or the ground which was surprising. I would come back! read more

It has the best food I love the chicken taste of the food is good but noting it so good

The kids had a lot of fun. The park is okay. Easy to hit all the rides in a few hours. Only a few "thrill" rides. I enjoyed the water park the best. The price to get in may not be worth the price. I had my 1 year old with me, so I definitely did not get my money's worth, but again the older kids had a great time. The food on the water park side was horrible. $5.50 for over cooked, crunchy fry ends, that were cold with nacho cheese in one small cup. It did look like the food was slightly better on the other side. The fee to use a locker on the water side was also ridiculous. $10 fee PLUS $10 deposit (you do get that bit back). I'm paying a ton to get in here and you want $10 more dollars for me to be able to put my wallet in a locker...anything else people can just have if they really want. No need to lock up my clothes or sun block. read more

My family goes to Maine every summer and we always come here with other relatives or friends. We always have a good time. The rides like the wolf mouse and the tilt a whirl are really fun. The employees are helpful and kind. They have a gift shop and snack bars along with bathrooms. My family and I have never gone to the water park side since I don't like bathing in water with strangers that much to be honest. But I'm sure it's just as good. The games you can play such as the dart game are also fun. Even if you lose, you still get a small prize like a small airplane or plastic cat. If you haven't been here before, you need to come with COVID ends. I'm sure is also fun to work here during the summer. read more

Super great for a family day! My 6 and 9 year olds were in heaven. Awesome water park and rides as well. Friendly employees, clean and not crowded for a hot summer weekday. Can't wait to return. read more

I've been taking my kids here for decades - from the time they were little to just a few days ago now that they're in their 20's. This place is no Disneyland (thank goodness), but it's a great place for families to hang out and have fun together. Lines can be longish, but for the most part they move quickly. I've never been there when it's been unbearably crowded - even on a very hot day. We love the water park, and my husband and I spend the morning and afternoon there with the kids (they open at 10 - I wish it were earlier so we could have a longer day before the heat of the sun kicks in), then the kids head off to FunTown for the rides that no longer hold a lot of interest for old farts like us. We've always found the staff very highly trained and friendly (a must for a place like this to have a ton of lifeguards - I always feel safe when I go there). The food is somewhat expensive, but way less that what you'd find in a larger amusement park, and there are healthier options such as barbecue and fresh fruit that are a big change from fair food. More shady spots would be nice, and larger lockers. All in all (especially with the Groupon and Living Social deals available each year), a fun day in Maine! read more

I struggle with not giving it a 4, its maybe a 3.5. I only did the funtown part. It wasn't that bad. I was thinking it was going to be packed and carny like, but it wasn't. A good number of people, but the lines moved pretty well. It might be geared to more the 10ish in age, but there are a couple of rides older kids would enjoy. Again, pleasantly surprised. read more

Love, LOVE, LoVe! Both kids & adults will enjoy time spent here! We typically spend the entire day here, which means that there is just that much here to keep yourself busy & entertained. Theme park & water park in one. You have the option to purchase access to one or the other but it's just makes more sense to do both. Pricing is average priciness as compared to similar theme parks for entrance. BUT after a certain time in the afternoon pricing is dramatically slashed in half (look it up); this option may work better for you if your concerned about pricing. Fun for all & worth it! read more

The admission price for my family of five is pretty affordable. We spent most of the day at the water park. I do wish there were more rides. All in all, we had a good time! read more

I come here all the time with my friends and family and it's always super exciting. My all time favorite ride has to be the Astrosphere or the dragons decent and the Excalibur. I have been coming here for years and before my dad went when there was the golf course. I'm also a big fan of the waterpark i enjoy the newer drop rides and the tornado. I've been on all fifty rides and slides there and I would ten out of ten recommend this it is good for young kids because of the kiddie rides and good for older kids because of some of the thrill rides. read more

brought my son with Down Syndrome and Autism and they were so accommodating...Never questioned my pass we're willing to help out with everything...I highly recommend for a fun day! read more

Definitely worth the 11 dollar admission after 6! Not worth it to spend the whole day. Only a few thrill rides. We did practically all the rides in 2 hrs. No lines no waiting!! The only thing I must really say is...the team members are not very friendly. Nor did I see any of them smiling. They weren't very helpful in helping kids buckle/unbuckle if they were having trouble. I must say the only two people that were actually pleasant were the two running the wild mouse ride on 8/2 /19 at 730 PM. read more

This rating might be too generous. Especially for an over priced amusement park. But it's the only one around within hundreds of miles other than Maine's old orchard beach's amusement park, but I'm not counting that as an amusement park. This place might have been great in the 90s but it needs to update there rides. I would think antique cars, bumper boats/ cars and a small roller coaster shouldn't make up of almost half of the amusement park. read more

This place rules. Here's why: 1) Free parking 2) Clean changing rooms and bathrooms 3) Only mildly exorbitant concessions 4) $5 lockers (compared to $14 at Six Flags) 5) Some very fun rides -- favorite is the Tornado, a group raft ride where you are flung into a giant funnel. Also individual slides Poseidon's Plunge and Triton's Twist are awesome. You get into this enclosed chamber (one friend described it as a glass coffin) and then floor drops out, shooting you straight down at 40 ft. per second. Terrifying but awesome, even considering the wedgie you get upon impact with the water. Only reasons not 5 stars: no lazy river and no tidal wave pool for adults. All the pools are really shallow for kids (3' deep) so you can't really splash around and swim in between rides. Still, I totally recommend it. Didn't check out Funtown because it looked a little sad and outdated, but Splashtown is worth visiting. ALSO, I must give a shout-out to whomever selected the music for the park. It was all my favorite 90s pop jams: Ace of Base, En Vogue, Mariah. Exactly what I wanted to listen as a 31-year-old spending a Tuesday at a water park. read more

Just got back today after they redid the park with the new slides! Amazing! They put you in this bullet shaped thing and drop the floor! The countdown gets your heart racing: 3, 2, 1...then they drop the floor and you come flying out! It's really great. I'm loving the new slides. It's mostly what I stayed on today. I couldn't decide what I loved move the Plunge or the Twist! Both were really scary! The red and white slides are really fun, too. You race against 4 people and they are fast. I definitely still do wish they had a lazy river or a deeper pool to swim in. Mostly a wave pool would be amazing. But, this place definitely deserves 5 stars. It's so clean! You could literally eat off the ground. Love this place!! Free Parking, Cheap lockers, lots of friendly staff! It's an all around wonderful place! I even had a great groupon!! We had a blast at Funtown, too! read more

It was *just right* for my 9-year-old son and me. We went around 3 p.m. on a Friday afternoon, so there were no lines to wait in for any of the rides, except for the go-cart race. Every single person who worked there, mostly teens and young adults, were incredibly friendly and helpful, and it seemed they came from a wide variety of ethnic / cultural backgrounds, which was pretty cool. Lots of ice cream options for a hot summer day, and I enjoyed my first caramel apple in years. Worth mentioning that the go-cart racetrack has signs posted everywhere that say "no bumping". Although I totally did not intentionally bump anyone, I was, in fact, racing to win. That meant coming up behind folks and moving into the inside corners, and if they didn't see me creeping into those inside corners, they would end up bumping my car. I didn't think it was a biggie since all the cars have big, generously padded bumpers. But when I exited the ride, one of the kids working there laughingly gave me a hard time about bumping others on the ride, which I laughed off but was puzzled by, because I really didn't do that.... It must also be said that I totally won, lapping others over and over. And it felt good and right. read more

Visited today while vacationing in Maine. When we arrived around 11 am most attractions were open but within a half hour they began shutting down rides do to weather. After spending 60 dollars on lunch (which I must say was of better quality than most theme park restaurants) the rides were still mostly closed. Two hours later after only riding on two or three rides in total they closed the park due too weather. Rather than offering a full refund or pass for another day I was given a half day pass. In the future I will be going to other theme parks in the region such as Santa's Village or Watercountry. The staff was helpful and abundant. The park amenities were adequate for a day visit. I can not comment on the water park section as I only walked into it to find out it was closed. read more

Simply a fun place for ALL ages. The amusement park is fun. We went on July 4th. There was hardly any wait times for the rides. All rides were almost WALK in. The splashtown is another gem in this park. Really a fun place to spend the entire day. Do not miss the Tornado Twist or the Mount Olympus rides. Strongly recommend this place. If possible try visiting on less crowded days like Tuesday's or Wednesday's. read more
