Jay Peak Resort

Jay Peak is one of those places where the water park genuinely steals the show, even if you came up for the mountain. The indoor waterpark means it doesn’t matter what the weather’s doing outside — kids are happy regardless, and that’s saying something for northern Vermont. Parking is straightforward, which you’ll appreciate after the drive up Route 242. Fair warning though: it’s not wheelchair accessible, so keep that in mind if you’re planning a trip with anyone who needs that.
