This Connecticut Water Park Transforms Into A Winter Wonderland Every Holiday Season
Share
When you think of Lake Compounce Park you probably imagine splashing around in the hot summer sun, but for the past 5 years they have offered some pretty amazing winter entertainment as well. Every Friday, Saturday and Sunday from now until December 18, the entire family can enjoy holiday light shows, music and rides.
Upon entering the park, you will be dazzled by the thousands of colorful lights flashing and dancing.
