New Hampshire water park: Whales Tails




Hot enough for you? When you have a big family with a range of ages you have to compromise a lot when it comes to family outings. My oldest wants to see romance movies, my middle boys want action and my youngest wants the latest cartoon.

It's a good thing there's Whales Tails in Lincoln New Hampshire or we would never get everyone smiling at the same time...ever! Whales Tails has everything anyone could possibly want in cool, water fun. Even if you missed the Kix 105.5 beach party, you should go. With gas prices high and families cutting back it makes more sense than ever.

With a speed slide of epic proportions for the dare-devils, a lazy river for those seeking relaxation, a hot tub for when you get cold and the new Shipwreck Cove for everybody there really is a good time to be had by all.



We had so much fun that the day just flew by. When you go, make sure you do the Eye of the Storm and see how many full revolutions you can squeeze out of your run or just watch everyone else from the stairs...it's so much fun.

The wave pool kept Elissa happy for hours.



Here is Mira racing mom (me) down the speed slide...she won the race but we both had a blast.



It is rare that we all enjoy ourselves this much...there's even a couple of cabana bars so dad can get a beer on his day off and when you get hungry from all that swimming there is also good food right there at the park with three different restaurants so you don't have to leave.

Jasper forgot his bathing suit...which could have been a disaster but the shop had suites in most sizes reasonably priced. They have lockers that you can rent for the day as well (so I could ditch the camera and get wet myself) and life-vests for the littlest mermaids and minnows. Sunscreen too, in case you have too much fun in the sun.

Go early to get a choice spot and plan to stay all day. You will never run out of fun at Whales Tails no matter what your age.
