Whale's Tale Waterpark | New England's Favorite Waterpark

Took the kids to the park using the "Locals Only" deal and was pretty happy. Park was clean, staff was very helpful and the kids enjoyed all of the attractions. Our lonest wait for one of the slides was maybe 10 minutes. Considering it was 30/pp that worked out to 5/hr per person to go here for the day. Can't complain!

Always a great day at Whale's 🐋 Tail Water Park. How could you not like it with 7 grandkids 3 of our own kids and 3 in-law kids and both of us??We heartily recommend all of the attractions and services and want to thank the management team for not skimping on details to make it a great experience for all.

On a late summer Sunday. Hardly any lines. We were able to ride the rides so many times. It was great!

Great place for families !! Staff is friendly aside from on me of the closing shift lazy river girls !! But even she didn’t put a damper on things !! Free parking you can bring your own food in fun for everyone foods over priced and not so great bathrooms could use some love as well...parking is free !!park it’s self is clean (one of hot tubes not so much ) but it was 5 pm close to closing time !! This is def a nice place to spend the day and they have a BAR lol so glade we chose this place to spend my daughters 6th bday verses six flags !!!

My day started off badly! I purchased groupon tickets and had to wait in line to get to the booth for the attendant to hit a button saying redemption. which could be done by anyone. So yes the discount is worth it but buying in advance gets you nothing more than a hassle. I did call the office while standing in this massive line to be told they aren't sure and took my number to call me back. They never did! At least the park was clean, they need more tubes for rides the wait was really long.

My family had such a blast there today. A little outdated but so relaxing and almost no lines for any of the rides. Downside food is expensive but it was yummy. We spend 3 hours like it was 30 minutes..lots to do.

We were there yesterday. We had a fantastic time, however I didn't give them 5 stars for 2 reasons. I'm not sure if the staff is just tired, or what, but I did not see one staff member smile yesterday. I know this isn't Disney, but they ALL had blank expressions. NOT ONE SMILE, or pleasant word from those at the water features. I even tried to engage a few, nope. No conversation, one word answers. Now, you are a place where families are coming to have fun, not feel like they shouldn't be there, or shouldn't be asking questions. I know work can be hard...trust me, I'm a nurse! But I put a happy face on to great EVERY new patient I meet, even at hour 11 of a 12 hour shifts. The other little thing is that I think the park should sweep their walkways. Everyone is walking around barefoot, and park maintenance should be done daily. You pay a lot of money to go here, they can afford clean up crews. But the slides are FANTASTIC, and wave pool is SO much fun. Totally recommend it. I'm just being honest about your staff. (Even the administration walking around with clip boards didn't smile or say hello!! Wow.... show them how it's done, don't lead with a poor example!).

It was fun and a good place to relax and some staff is nice but others are rude could use to be a bit nicer when your only asking a question other than that it was fun

The staff is amazing cheerful and helpful we spent six hours there. We had children from 18 months up to 15 all had a great time! There was a young gentleman on the left side of the Aqua check yesterday that was amazing he helped my daughter learn how to get on the boggie board by herself and was so patient and kind teaching her. He did not even know mom was watching he truely deserves some type of recognition I wish I knew his name! Great time had by all. Thank you for a great day!

Very clean, lots of water slides, pools, tubs, and structures. The staff has room for improvement, kinda rude and unhelpful but it didn’t ruin our day was just frustrating to deal with them.

My family and I had an awesome day at the park yesterday. The coupon for teacher appreciation day was a thoughtful way to honor teachers and provide their families with a fun adventure.

I took my two boys to whales tale this past Sunday! We had an incredible time ! My 3 year old went on his first big water slide with his brother and I was very happy to see the lifeguard in the water ready to help my 3 year old out of the tube. All the staff are incredibly nice and will help with any questions that you may have. I HIGHLY recommend you go and have fun at Whales Tale !!!!!!!!

Loved every second! We had 6 adults and 5 children ages 2 to 8 and it was great! Food was yummy and not a bad price. Only complaint is there is no clothing sold for younger children that says whalestale. I tried to buy last year and this year. No onsies 3 months and none up to 2t for boys at all. Other than that perfect. Thanks for a great time.

Was at the park on August 3rd 2017, and we all had a wonderful time. I felt like the facility was clean and the staff we very helpful. There were minimal lines for any of the slides which made taking an 8 year old who hates waiting for anything a blessing. There was an announcement towards the end of the day around 4 or 5 o'clock where they were expecting thunderstorms and would keep an eye on the weather. They did make everyone evacuate the water and seek shelter which went very smoothly. Your employees were apologizing for the weather and making folks get out of the water while politely directing us where to go. Thank you so much for a wonderful day.

This is such a fun place! The prices did go up dramatically from last year but they added this cool surfing bodyboard thing! Plus I like that they have lockers for your belongings and you can bring in a cooler so you're not stuck buying from their restaurants all day.

Excellent water park, and a great value. Very clean, great staff. Lifeguards do a great job, Emily Watson in particular. She engaged the kids and they had a great time.

Whales Tale staff were friendly and helpful from ticket sales to lifeguards. I was impressed that the guards on duty at the edge of the wave pool actually ran, time and time again, to assist swimmers in need. Also, the guards at the surf ride took time with each rider to teach them how to surf or boogie board. My family had a great time. Also, was clean.

We went to the park a couple of weeks ago and had an absolutely amazing time! It was fun, clean and the staff was great! Buffy was wonderful with my 4 year old making sure he didn't get too close to the wall in the wave pool! It was a really relaxing and fun day for our family! Thank you Buffy!!

Great water park in the middle of the White Mountains. We are in NH for a week long vacation and decided meet friends there yesterday. It was clean, the people were friendly and it wasn't extremely over crowded like other water parks we've been to. We rented a cabana for the day which came with a waitress which was an added bonus. The kids loved all the slides and we enjoyed floating around the lazy river.

My family and I visited from Southern Maine yesterday and we had a ball! Very impressed with your lifeguards! They were on top of everything! We loved all the slides, lazy river, the wave pool and the surfing was so cool! The only negative I have is the pricing for children. We drove 2 1/2 hours to get to the park, then had to pay $156 to get through the gate (2 adults, 2 children). I feel like a decreased price, at least for ages 10 & under. I just thought paying the same price for an adult and a 9 year old was a bit much. Other than that, we had a great time!

Awesome value, possibly my favorite water park in New England. Shorter lines, fun rides, and super friendly staff.

Friendly, local staff - it's so clean!! Ive been bringing my family here since they were little children and now they're in their late 20's and we have even more fun together here! It's grown into a larger water park with all the amenities! We rented a cabana - absolutely fabulous family day!!! 🍕🍔🍻🍷🏊🏼🏄🏻🌊🌊

Jodie Gerulaitis

I have to say, I have been coming here since I was a kid. The staff is excellent and it's the type of place where you feel comfortable letting your kids have a little freedom. Well done whales tale!

What a great place to bring the whole family! The park is friendly and clean... The BEACH BASH is a ton of fun giving away free passes to Whales Tale Alpine Adventures and Candia Springs

Best place for family water park. Very beautiful and scenic location. Staffs are so friendly!! We will visit again and again. My only suggestion to management is to open until six after June 15.

The Waterpark is an older park nestled in the NH White mountains. It employs locals and is very clean. The staff is friendly and helpful. The food was good quality at normal park pricing. The new surf machine waz a great work out ans i highly recommend this for any thrill seeker! My son and I went there for father's day. Great time with my son! Thumbs up Whale's Tale Waterpark!

I don't know what all the reviews about the cleanliness are all about. The park was very clean and orderly when we were there. Staff was very friendly and helpful getting my son on the tubes for the slide. For the price it's a great value for families during a hot day. The only reason I didn't give it five stars is because of the changing room setup. The showers and changing rooms are not partitioned and needs to be updated. There was also no family changing room. Because of this, my wife said all the girls were changing in the bathroom stalls and everyone had to wait to use the bathroom. In the men's room a father had her older 4-6 yo daughter in there and it made me uncomfortable changing my 3 year old's clothing or mine while she was in there. Stalls and curtains would definitely fix that.

Last summer I purchased a season pass, living local and thinking this would be a good place to keep cool on hot days. It was all that and so much more. I ended up spending just about every free day at the park. The season pass is almost too good a value to pass up. Best money I ever spent. I just got my 2017 pass and found out I can use it at their sister location too. The staff at this place are fantastic. The lifeguards exercise just the right balance between ensuring everyone follows safety guidelines and still being fun and relatable to the kids. The staff at the outlets and the management staff have been just as helpful and courteous. While its a great place to take your kids its just as great a place for "kids at heart" to have some fun and get away from the summer heat. Lincoln is a great town and I encourage anyone to come and visit it and make Whale's Tale a part of your White Mountains adventure.

Got there late but it wasn't too crowded. If there were changing rooms I couldn't find them. Bathrooms were kinda gross to change clothes in. Other then that, my grand daughter loves the slides.

We had an amazing time at your park. We rented a cabana for the day. The absolute best decision when going to Whale's Tale. Mae was our cabana attendant and she was fantastic. She was attentive, but not disruptive. She handled 3 kids and their picky food orders expertly and we never had to wait long for her to bring us whatever refreshments we needed. If you plan on going make sure to check the Surf Report on their site, no disappointments because we already knew what was going on in the park. My oldest loved the Eye of the Storm. My two youngest thoroughly enjoyed the Harpoon Express. The park was clean, the staff friendly, and the lifeguards dutiful in making sure everyone was safe. Shipwreck Island is perfect for the whole family.

Had a great time ! But today on fathers day it was false advertising they still were gonna make us pay full price says buy one get one free! Luckily we had chamber of commerce pass book and got 1 in for free anyways! A lot of pissed of families because of it, won't be coming back! Whabba

We love it here. My daughter has gone once summer since she was 2. She is finally big enough to go on all the waterslides and loves them all. Her favorite place to hang out is the large play area with the smaller slides and of course the wave pool. The lines have never been super long when we have gone. While the weather is always a little cooler and the water not as warm, we will always choose Whale's Tale over Water Country. Water Country is a mad house and way more expensive. At Whale's Tale you get a great value and lots of family fun.

It's a fun place for your little adventures who our curious. The lines our average wait time some quicker than others. The lifeguards actually do there jobs an the place is very clean an relaxing

Samantha Lyn Benevides

2016-05-18T22:42:17+0000

Good place to take kids on a hot day, but I find $80 a bit on the expensive side for a tent and chairs to rent as a "cabana", but I love the idea of the adult bar!

Robin Day

2015-10-25T12:29:08+0000

I have not been in years and went this passed summer with my daughter , husband, two grandchildren. We all loved it so so much. Can't wait till next. Summer!!!! Great job ..Need to do one thing ...up date your food. Need to be faster and more items .That's all.
