Canobie Lake Park

Harking back to a quieter, less-corporate era of amusement parks, Canobie has more than 85 rides, games, live entertainment, and attractions, including the splashy Boston Tea Party ride. The grounds are immaculately clean — none of the honky-tonk clutter you’ll find at so many other small parks — and there are plenty of options for everyone from toddlers to teens.
