I have to share a great day I recently had at Casino Pier and Breakwater Beach. It's so much fun for families — plenty of activities from the waterpark to arcades, rides and go carts. And the layout is perfect for parents who need to keep an eye on everyone.

A 5,860-square-foot wave pool sprawls below the mountain golf course, a lazy river gently flows, and, of course, there are fun and thrilling slides. Revere's Wild Ride has plenty of twists and turns. Patriot's Plunge is a six-lane race slide, and Salem's Scream is the NEW aqua drop free fall.

Meanwhile, Lighthouse Cove has a slide just for those 6 and younger.

Inside Breakwater Beach, there's Dockside Grill and two Dippin' Dots locations and plenty more options nearby at Casino Pier: Waffles & Ice Cream, Curley Fries, Pier Grill, Lemonade Stand and another Dippin' Dots.

Casino Pier also has upcoming special events by Magician Paige Thompson, Crazy Cowgirl and Space Ranger, Glass Slipper Princess & Enchanted Rose Princess and more.
