Boston's Best Water Slides

Start with the water park, add the children, and it's non-stop excitement, adventure and water play well into a summer evening. Enjoying an enclosed water park gives children a wide berth and parents a clear view with seating and refreshments close at hand. Most parks include discounted tickets for the weekend, or special overnight passes at hotels nearby. Theme parks across the state make family packages that include accommodations and continental breakfasts. Boston neighborhoods have gotten into the water slide trend, adding a new twist to the standard public pool.
