Water Park of New England
Carly Follett said: This nearby indoor water park option for Bostonian has something for kids of all ages; the little ones will love the kiddie pool and the lazy river options, and for the big kids there are four wild waterslides and the obstacle park area. When the kids are ready to dry off they can explore the arcade and grab a snack from the snack bar!
Danvers, MAGreat Wolf Lodge New England
Carly Follett said: There is plenty to keep the kids busy all day and night at this park with features such as a wave pool, four-person tubing runs, the giant “wet” playground, a lazy river, an indoor/outdoor jacuzzi and even more tubing and body slides. Then when the little fishies are ready to dry off it's onto the climbing wall, ropes course, bowling alley, mini golf, arcade, and more!
Boston Kroc Aquatics Park
Tracy Snyder Molina said: Part of the Krocs Corps Community Center in Boston, this indoor waterpark is the biggest all-season waterpark in Greater Boston. Highlights include a two-story waterslide, heated lazy river with basketball hoops, volleyball net and water features, as well as a bubble bench, zero-depth pool entry and family locker rooms. Day passes are available if you don't have a membership and are a great deal which makes this waterpark the perfect option for a day of fun with kids regardless of the weather.
Boston, MAPump House Indoor Waterpark (Jay Peak Resort)
Carly Follett said: Bring the family and dive into a water park adventure at Jay Peak's The Pump House! The Pump House offers waterslides, indoor and outdoor hot tubs, and even a poolside bar (for adults of course!). Thrill seekers will love La Chute and its 65-foot drop at 45 miles per hour, and visitors seeking a more relaxing experience can cruise down Big River. Day passes are available but schedule in advance to ensure admission. If you're interested in a weekend jam packed with lots of family fun, Jay Peak Resort is great during any season.

Pilgrim Cove Indoor Theme Pool (John Carver Inn & Spa)
Amanda Banta said: The Pilgrim Cove pool at the John Carver Inn combines Plymouth history with the fun of a waterpark. An 80-foot covered slide, which kept my boys busy for HOURS, winds through a replica of the Mayflower, dropping sliders into a splash zone that is part of the larger pool but roped off to keep everyone safe. The pool itself offers plenty of fun for all, including a shallow area for the littles. The elevated hot tub, in a replica of Plymouth Rock, provides some warmth and relaxation for the grown-ups. Day passes are available to the public based on availability.
