Visited America’s First Amusement Park up in 📍Bristol, Conneticut! lakecompounce 

As a first time visit, I had an awesome time checking out this historic amusement park. 🎠

The park is home to 4️⃣ major roller coasters, a huge amount of flat & kids rides, an awesome log flume, and is attached to a water park on the lake. 

This place has an old school, family-run, and nostalgic feel that was truly amazing. Since checking the place out, I’ve had conversations with others who have been and they said they had so many great memories as a child visiting. 

Unfortunately I was unable to get on the star attraction being “Bolder-Dash” as it was down for a retracking- I will have to return. 🎢👀

That is park #14 for 2025! #PaulyParks #ThemeParks #AmusmentParks #LakeCompounce
