We’re not happy to admit it – especially since it’s been a bit hit or miss in Maine this year – but summer will soon begin to wind down. Wait! Don’t despair. We may be headed straight for autumn, but we’ve still got some solid weeks of warm weather before that happens. To make the most of it, we recommend taking advantage of all the things that can only be done now. One example? This waterpark!
Funtown Splashtown in Saco is Northern New England’s largest water and amusement park.

The park has been around since 1960, when Ken and Violet Cormier opened the Marvel Drive-In.
Over the next 50+ years, the original idea morphed into what is now one of the best days you can have in Maine!

To take a trip to the Caribbean without leaving the state, head to Pirates Paradise which is a themed laid-back attraction in the park.

You can choose to sit by the pool, or you can simply cool off by enjoying the waterfalls and shallow pools.
