Thinking of going to Danvers soon, but haven't been yet. We typically stay at the red jacket mountain resort in North Conway, NH. Its got a great indoor water park and is very family friendly. I'd recommend it highly if you're willing to drive 4 hours or so to get there. Last winter we went tubing at Cranmore, then water parked it...was a great trip. Kids were 3 and 6.

It's not the bait

It's the fishing hole

We are booked for Oct 1st and 2nd. Its our 1st time there. Looks like a blast and I'm sure the little guy will be in his glory. Does the park get packed?

I've been to the Danver's Coco key twice. IMO it's a place for little ones <10yrs old. For the bigger kids (and me) it's kind of boring. The two big rides are tube rides, and they're fun, but if you get bus loads of campers or field trips you get LONG LINES, and long lines suck. If it's packed wait until 3pm, as they're usually out of there by then. The parks whirlpool/hot tub area was closed both times I was there. The hotel there is good, it has a nice indoor pool, and that place was empty, so we spend a good amount of time there.

Great Golf course there too if your staying at the hotel..

Salem Ma is only 15 minutes away and this time of year Haunted Happenings is going on so the Kids will enjoy that too...
