Massachusetts may have some brutal winters, but the summers can be equally intense. Plenty of Bay Staters head to the beach to beat the heat during the warmer months, but this state is also home to quite a few awesome water parks. Though there are some larger, well-known parks, this smaller water park is a great option for families or anyone looking to avoid crowds.
