It is always a great day to visit Canobie Lake Park! 🙂 This is a truly difficult question to answer as we are an outdoor facility and weather plays a major factor in our operation. As a general rule of thumb: Spring tends to be less busy than Summer. In the Spring: Weekends tend to be less busy than weekdays. In the Summer: Weekdays tend to be less busy than weekends.  Please note: In 2021 specifically, any guest attending will need an advance ticket and advance reservation.  Due to capacity limitations and restrictions this season, you will notice that every day will have a significantly lower amount of guests.  Reservations are first-come-first-served.

“Good Any Day” or “CTIX” tickets from previous years can be upgraded for a current ticket at the Guest Services windows at the Park entrance. You will be responsible for paying any difference in price from the value of the old ticket to the current price of the same ticket. “Complimentary” and “Corporate Outing” tickets may not be upgraded once they expire and have no cash value.

Guests of Canobie can take advantage of local lodging found on our hotels page.

Yes you can. Canobie Lake Park seeks to include guests of all ages and physical abilities, although it is important to note that not all attractions are wheelchair or ESV accessible. It may become necessary for a guest to transfer his or her self to our ride vehicles. Our Team Members are well trained in these situations, but they may not assist in the physical transfer from chair to carrier. We will hold up ride cycles in order for members of your party to assist you in the transfer to and from your chair. Additionally, we do have a Guests with Disabilities Guide available in preparation for your trip. Recreational devices such as scooters, mopeds and Segways are not permitted inside the Park.

Canobie does not allow food or beverage to be brought into the Park. The Park offers a wide variety of foods and dining options for guests to enjoy inside the Park. Guests can also take advantage of our re-admission policy for lunch. There are no picnic tables or shaded places to sit in our parking lot. No grilling or alcohol is allowed in our Parking lot. Sodexo, our food service provider, has prepared a Food Allergy Guide to assist in planning your visit for those with particular food allergies.

Yes we do! Parent Swap is a service available for those who have small children, but no provision for childcare while participating in height-restricted attractions at the Park. One person may wait with the child on the midway near the exit, or in the designated area on the exit side of the platform or station, while the other guests in the party enter the line. When the rest of the party has exited the ride, the person who waited with the child may enter the ride through the exit and ride. Please check with the ride operator or attendant at the particular attraction for assistance with this service.

All of the attractions at Canobie incorporate safety systems that are designed by the manufacturer to accommodate people of average physical stature and body proportion. These safety systems in addition to State requirements may place restrictions on the ability of an individual to experience an attraction. Extremely large or small individuals, guests who have a history of heart, back, or neck trouble or recent surgery, expectant mothers, guests with casts, braces, restrictive devices or disabilities may be affected by the requirements needed to ensure these systems operate properly. We do have a Guests with Disabilities Guide available in preparation of your trip. Height restrictions are established based on the size needed for safety restraints to function properly. These requirements are posted at the entrance of each attraction. For a detailed listing of our rides and their height restrictions please visit our rides pages.

Yes. Upon leaving the Park, all Guests should get a stamp at the appropriately marked exit. This stamp allows guests unlimited re-entry to the park on that day until closing time.

Ticket stubs and receipts are not valid for re-entry to the Park. Each Guest is offered a stamp as they exit the Park. This stamp must be legible by a Team Member for same day re-entry.

Canobie Lake Park operates in most weather conditions. Some attractions may temporarily close due to weather conditions such as rain, high winds and thunder and lightning. These attractions will re-open as soon as possible. If properly prepared for the elements, a partially wet day can be one of the best times to visit with short or non existent wait times. Outdoor live performances may not operate during rain. Should the Park close because of inclement weather, those guests remaining inside the Park at the adjusted closing time will be issued a comparable ticket to enjoy the Park on another day/evening. Should you decide to leave the Park of your own volition, prior to the adjusted Park closing time, no rain check will be issued.
