About Lake Compounce

Lake Compounce is a New England amusement-park day with a setting that does some of the storytelling. In Bristol, Connecticut, the lake and wooded hillside give the coaster collection a sense of place. It is a particularly good prospect for a group that wants a few substantial rides alongside a wider family outing, without needing an elaborate resort itinerary.

Boulder Dash is the signature coaster draw, with Wildcat adding another wooden ride and Phobia Phear Coaster supplying a different style of thrill. Crocodile Cove brings water attractions into the planning. The attraction mix is broad enough to reward a full day, but it is worth matching that mix to the people travelling rather than assuming everyone wants the same ride-heavy visit.

Planning your visit

Use 185 Enterprise Drive for the main arrival route, as directed by the operator; older references may give a different number or a mailing address. If Crocodile Cove is part of your plan, check its calendar and your ticket inclusions. Allow time for changing and food, and compare the complete visit cost before adding optional upgrades. A few priority rides with room for repeats is a useful starting point.
