The 5 Best Water & Amusement Parks in Vermont, United States

April 7, 2022 Giuseppe Pratt

Whether you’re exploring Vermont’s covered bridges, visiting Quechee Gorge or skiing at Killington, you’ll find Vermont to be picture-perfect. If you’re the outdoorsy type, you’ll love Vermont. In winter, of course, there’s plenty of skiing and snowboarding. In the warmer months, however, Vermont offers plenty of opportunities for hiking, biking, fishing and boating. If you enjoy boating, swimming and fishing, a vacation rental on Lake Champlain might be perfect for you.

Yes Virgina there is a Santa Claus....My husband and I took our 3yr old son to Santa's Land this past wknd. My grandparents brought me there when I was a child and my mom when she was a child. I was too young to remember the details, but I always remembered the place " Santa's Land" and the feeling associated with being there. I will never forget that. I was looking forward to reigniting my childhood memories. Upon entering through the cute, quaint gift shop the spirit of Christmas comes upon you. My little boy's eyes lit up with excitement. We paid the very reasonable fee and proceeded down the snowy, blue tunnel, the gateway to the park. Within minutes we saw Santa on top of the hill who made his way over to us to interact with our son who was mesmerized. We then proceeded to explore the park. We fell in love with the nostalgic atmosphere. It really takes you back in time..to a simpler place. The train, the slides, the mini golf, the carousel from Coney Island, the kiddie rides was just enough to entertain our little one without over loading him ..not to mention how he loved to explore the park itself. It reminds you of an enchanted forest. He met a new friend his age and they spent an hour running up and down the hills, around the trees while their imaginations ran wild. A perfect ending to a great day. I felt compelled to write a review because I truly look at the new owner David, as a local hero who I have so much respect and admiration for. For him to take such a leap of faith, financially, physically and mentally to preserve a park that holds so many treasured memories for generations going back to the 1950's is nothing short of amazing and he should be commended. May God bless this park and draw people in from across the country. It's a treasure for children in so many ways. And for the grinches who leave bad reviews... this park is for the children who will surely carry the memory of their visit with them for life! Even more of a reason why I really take my hat off to the new owner for his effort and sacrifice to breath life into Santa's Land again not for the sake of wealth, but for the love of park.

Jay Peak Pump House

Reviewed By DeannaMP67 - Jay, United States

I visited Jay Peak for two days with three 19-year-olds and one 15 year old. We all enjoyed the waterpark immensely; it was very clean, the water temperature was perfect, having the open air on a hot July day was epic. Very little surprises me when it comes to Jay Peak and this indoor/outdoor waterpark is perfect for everyone! Can’t wait to go back.
