FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Lake Compounce Finalizes 2020 Schedule, Extends Season Passes Through 2021 Lake Compounce Family Theme & will conclude 2020 season on Labor Day

BRISTOL/SOUTHINGTON, CT – A of a season at Lake Compounce will come to a close next month.

Lake Compounce will finish its 2020 season with a final day of operations on Labor Day, Monday, September 7. To show appreciation for our Season Passholders’ support, Lake Compounce will extend all 2020 Silver, Gold & Gold Deluxe Season Passes to include the 2021 Season.

“We are so grateful for our amazing team, as well as our guests, for adapting to these extraordinary times. Without their efforts, this year would not have been possible,” said Lake Compounce General Manager Larry Gorneault. “Our Team Members have been tireless in implementing enhanced health and safety measures to create the cleanest and safest environment possible for our guests. We’ll wrap up this season on a high note on Labor Day, and start getting ready for 2021.”

The extension for 2020 Silver, Gold, and Gold Deluxe Season Passholders is automatic and will include the entire 2021 Summer Season. Extended Passholders will also be able to visit during Lake Compounce’s 2021 Halloween and Holiday events, which will not take place this year. Guests who previously purchased a 2021 Season Pass Extension will receive a credit equal to the price paid for the extension product.

Beyond the return of the popular Haunted Graveyard and Holiday Lights events, Lake Compounce will celebrate its 175th anniversary in 2021 with the debut of the Venus Vortex . Delayed by the COVID-19 pandemic, the park’s largest water slide to date will stand six stories high in bold, bright green and yellow colors to offer an experience never before seen in New England. Venus Vortex is slated to open with the rest of Crocodile Cove on Memorial Day weekend 2021. Taking advantage of the shorter season, Lake Compounce and Crocodile Cove will also receive aesthetic upgrades around the park during the offseason.

There is still time to enjoy some summer fun this year, though! Lake Compounce will be open daily through Sunday, August 23 and each weekend, plus Labor Day, through September 7, 2020. The park is open 11 a.m. -7 p.m. each day. Lake Compounce continues to offer heavily discounted single-day admission for the remainder of the summer.
