Funtown USA in Saco, Maine Prepares to Open For the Season

The very first time I went to Funtown U.S.A. was in 1979, and I was 8 years old. This is before Splashtown. Cascade Water Park was in that space until it was bought by the Cormier family and turned into Splashtown. Ever since then, I have tried to visit the best amusement park in Maine every summer.

Funtown Opening For 2025 Season

Funtown's opening day is on Friday, May 24. The park will open at 11 a.m. and close at 5 p.m. As the days go on, and kids are out of school, the hours get expanded. Check the Funtown calendar on their website to see the times and dates they will be open this season.

Ride All the Rides

All the rides at Funtown should be available. The Excalibur rollercoaster, the Astrosphere, Dragon's Descent, The Wild Mouse, the Antique Cars, the Thunderbolt. 50 rides in total are available for guests, including their latest addition, the Whispering Pines Haunted Hotel Dark Ride.

Splahstown Opens in June

Only Funtown will be open on May 24, with Splashtown scheduled to open on June 14. That's always the way, as you can never be sure just how warm it will be in May. This spring has been the best I can remember. Temperatures still aren't comfortable enough at the point to go for a swim, but before you know it, Splashtown will be ready.

If you want to get ahead of the game, you can buy your tickets online now at funtownsplashtownusa.com.
