Funtown Splashtown USA is about an hour and a half from the city of Boston, in Saco, Maine, just off of 95 and is a good sized amusement park for children. It is another, bigger option to Canobie Lake. There are two sides to the park, identifiable by the bracelets one purchases upon entering. (The entry fees are confusing, after speaking to two representatives and having friends have completely different experiences purchasing their bands, I couldn't explain it). Splashtown houses about twenty water slides and pools for various heights and ages. If you read the height requirements however, it will reduce the number of water slides and rides to a lot fewer available to a given group of people. Funtown has rides for all sizes and at varying speeds also. There are several "family" rides, such as antique cars on a track, kiddie rides including airplanes and bumper boats, and much faster rides, for older children or more daring folk. Park hours begin sporadically in late May, and pick up in June. The park closes again in September. During the summer, the parks open at 10:00 on a daily basis and Splashtown closes at 6:00, Funtown at 9:00.
Food is available in the park, but you are also allowed to bring food in, just no glass containers. There is some shopping and various other park activities, such as arcades and games. Often during the week in the summer, camp groups will go, so weekends aren't that much busier comparatively.
A family of four would probably spend between $100-150 for a day at the park, with admission and purchasing food. Children under 38 inches ride for free, so it is a good option for little ones!
