Where to Find Year-Round Wet Fun in the State

When it’s hot in the summer—and it can get plenty hot in Massachusetts—outdoor water parks provide both relief and fun. Conversely, during the bitterly cold winter months, climate-controlled indoor water parks offer a simulated tropical experience. Fortunately, Massachusetts boasts both outdoor and indoor aquatic parks to deliver watery excitement throughout the year.

The state’s parks are arranged alphabetically.
