Quassy Amusement Park - Middlebury, Connecticut - Family Amusement and Fun Park

Quassy Amusement Park is a family-oriented theme park located on the south shore of Lake Quassapaug in the city of Middlebury, Connecticut. The park itself dates all the way back to 1908 and is of moderate size, featuring a variety of different rides and attractions. Its repertoire also includes a few water-based attractions, including a collection of waterslides and a number of interactive water play activities. An arcade, a scenic picnic area, and a number of food stands and restaurant options are also part of the mix for the convenience and pleasure of patrons.

As is the case with most amusement parks, the main draw to Quassy for the majority of park patrons is the collection of thrill rides and attractions. As this is a family-oriented establishment, most of the rides are built to appeal to and be appropriate for the entire family, but there is also a special kiddie section built especially for the youngest visitors as well. Some of the most popular rides in the park could best be described as carnival classics. These include a beautifully painted antique carousel, a tilt-a-whirl, a fun slide, several roller coasters, a bumper car arena, and a swinging pirate ship. However, many visitors also come to enjoy the Big Flush Water Coaster, Quassy's version of an exciting log flume ride, as well as the miniature locomotive among many other options.

Those looking to beat the heat and get a little wet won't want to miss Quassy Beach and Quassy's Saturation Station, the interactive water play section of the park. The Saturation Station includes over 30 different ways to enjoy the fun including but not limited to an over-sized bucket that periodically dumps more than 300 gallons of water on the guests below and the Tunnel Twister waterslides. Many guests also enjoy taking a break from all the excitement by taking a dip in Lake Quassapaug itself for a moment or two and then relaxing on the beach for a spell. For the convenience of the guests, the Saturation Station and beach area includes access to lockers and changing areas. Lifeguards are always on duty to protect the safety of the guests as well.

Last but definitely not least is Quassy's celebrated family entertainment center. Billed as one of the largest entertainment centers of its type in the entire New England area, Quassy's arcade includes access to more than 100 of everyone's favorite games. These cover all the bases and all tastes from classics like Skee-Ball, Pinball and Pac-Man to all of the latest and greatest arcade favorites. Also included are a number of redemption-based games where park goers can earn tickets that can later be cashed in on terrific and charming prizes. Quassy's Family Entertainment Center also offers reconditioned games for sale to collectors and enthusiasts including pool tables, foosball sets, parts, vending machines, and various video and pinball games.

For those that enjoy amusement parks as locations for birthday parties, get-togethers, catered events, and educational excursions, Quassy offers all of these and more as options as well.
