My daughter and 5 year old granddaughter drove down from Bangor, ME. My granddaughter so badly…read morewanted to go to Mini-Mel's so we checked the website to see if they are open yet for the season and it said they were open from 12-6PM. See photo of website that I checked today. I even had my wife call them to confirm because it is April 23rd and I wasn't sure if the season started yet. No one answers the phone. They just have a recording saying to check their website for days and hours. So we drove there. The ticket booth had a lighted sign that says, "Open" and listed their hours as Noon - 6PM Monday through Sunday starting April 19th but no one was there and many rides had tarps over them. We walked around looking for someone and finally found a person who worked there. They said they are only open on weekends. My wife explained that she called and no one answers the phone. The person said that we should have checked the website for their hours. She said, "We did and it says you are open." As does the lit up sign at the ticket booth! The person said, "Well all the rides are closed and covered with tarps." Anyway, my granddaughter started crying. She was so disappointed because we had told her all about the rides and bounce house and she had been so excited to go. We couldn't go back on the weekend because she was leaving to go back home to Maine on Friday. This place has gone downhill. This is the second time in the last year that it has been closed when it was supposed to be open and I will not subject my grand kids to this nonsense and disappointment, nor will I give my hard earned money to a company with such poor customer service. Save your money and go someplace where they will treat you right!

Plus the Taylor Swift show this year was awesome! She had three shows, and two different sets! I liked the second set since it was Taylor's newer songs. Olivia did a great job--she looks and sounds like Taylor.

You pay for a ticket but it's unlimited rides for all day. I've been coming for over twenty years now and some things are the same but some things are new and you always enjoy yourself. I found out the train ride isn't running due to repairs of an Italian restaurant so they had to remove the tracks but I was told it will be back, like maybe next year. So you go on a boat ride on the lake, or you take a ride on top of the lake for a breathtaking view on the Sky Ride, go on the merry go round, the Ferris wheel, get wet on the Boston Tea Party. So much to do! The people working here are helpful and friendly. So if you haven't been to Canobie Lake Park in Salem NH, put it on your list to do this summer.

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

It was not too overcrowded the lines for the rides were quick and short The rides have been the same they are very boring not any that are a thrill ride maybe for the littles The staff were only there to do there job I'd say maybe 5 out of them all had any personality The food is over priced I got a wrap I thought it was going to be made in front of me NOPE pre made in a cooler but 5 kitchen guys standing around The area was very dirty with last years leaves on the stairs to the rides In he walkways were also littered with debris The picnic area looked awful The lazy river was pretty much all I did after riding all rides once and that was very overcrowded half shut off and dirty too You have to pay 20$ to park and 18$ for locker which is smallest but fit my bag I wouldn't recommend unless you have children under 10 I've been twice in my life and that's enough for me

Everyone in the family has a favorite flavor which means we visit often!! The ice cream people are always super sweet and they work the line so effectively that you rarely have to wait long even if the line is into the parking lot!! I have had a few disappointing experiences with the food people. I'm not sure what makes that station more grumpy but it's definitely a vastly different experience!! We have easily spent 3-4 hours at Kimballs having dinner, doing activities and walking around, ending with ice cream! It's always a fun!!

This location has only gotten bigger and they've really expanded what's available. Now you can enjoy your ice cream and fried seafood and make a day of it with mini golf, pitch and putt, driving range, batting cage, ziplining, bumper cars, bumper boats, an arcade, etc. there are even more kid friendly activities on the weekends like caricatures, pony rides, and animal adventures. The gift shop is cute and quirky and ice cream portions are huge as usual. I think the mini golf courses here are really beautiful and creative in particular but they do get busy. I wish they still allowed multiple flavors with smaller sizes but that's a thing of the past. If they were to add anything, a pool with lanes would be nice.

We LOVE YORK ZOO! Again - remember we are in Maine and not the San Diego Zoo or Bronx Zoo- so be…read morekind. Perfect for families and kids! This is a fun amusement park with rides for small children like going to a carnival- they have bumper carts and go carts. They have camel and pony rides for extra costs too! Upon entry we were a little confused as to where the action was, after speaking with the Butterfly lady we headed past the wetlands of ducks- we made it to the coolest part of the zoo! The MAINE attractions include monkeys, sloths, ostriches, reindeers, ravens, foxes, Kookaburras, zebras, lemurs, deer, geese, large blue pigeon, owls, Asian otter, Ankole cattle, chickens, goats, ducks, alligators, kangaroos, prairie dogs, and a lioness and tiger!! They have a butterfly kingdom filled with lovely plants and butterflies and a reptile area filled with tarantulas, snakes, frogs. Our favorite parts were feeding the birds for $2.50! What a fun experience! The birds were so friendly and loved eating from the popsicle stick with seeds! Then we were able to feed the goats, deer and ducks! The baby deer was SO CUTE and the animals are adorable and come right up to you. We were OVERJOYED that we had the ENTIRE zoo to ourselves cause it was raining but the monkeys were still going wild and howling! It was so much fun! Also Moxie is my favorite animal- she is three years old and is a beautiful Tiger. She sat right in front of us and was majestic to appreciate- she is a calm tiger. All the animals are taken care for and we are so glad we made the stop today! It was $18 per person and honestly had a blast. Great for visiting in the summer and early September as they close September 21! Next year they will have a Capybara! We also stopped by the gift shop and got some eco friendly Tiger and Giraffe totes for $5! Very affordable place perfect for young families and fun for children.

I haven't been here in about 8 years and wasn't impressed with this visit. Place kind of looked run down with overgrown and unmaintained landscaping. As usual with all things, it was expensive. Some rides weren't operational. I wouldn't need to come back for another 8 years. Sad the boat rides are no longer there. Would be more entertaining for kids under 10. Bring cash for inside the zoo to buy petting zoo food.

Thunderbolt is one of those rides you want to love because the nostalgia is doing all the heavy…read morelifting. This classic wooden coaster has history -- real Riverside Park DNA -- and that alone gives it a certain charm you can't manufacture. But once you get past the sentimental value, the cracks start to show. The biggest issue is the line experience, or honestly, the lack of one. There's no staff presence helping guests form or maintain any kind of organized queue, so the line turns into a free‑for‑all. People cutting, groups merging, confusion everywhere -- it takes away from the fun before you even reach the station. And speaking of the station, the ride itself feels like it's running on the bare minimum. For an older coaster, you expect a little rattle, but this feels more like low maintenance than vintage charm. Thunderbolt deserves better upkeep, especially given its legacy at the park. At the end of the day, the nostalgia is notable -- even special -- but the overall experience doesn't match the potential. With some attention to operations and maintenance, this could easily climb back into must‑ride territory. Hold on to your seats and try to enjoy
