Jay Gee's bumper boats are one of the most popular attractions in the Merrimack Valley — and the one parents secretly want to ride as much as the kids. Navigate the pond, chase your friends, and blast them with the water squirter before they get you first.
It's the kind of summer fun you'll talk about on the drive home, still laughing, still dripping. Whether you're looking for bumper boats near Methuen, a cool-down activity on a hot Massachusetts summer day, or something the whole family can do together — Jay Gee's has you covered. Pack a change of clothes — seriously.
How Wet Will
You Get?
Spoiler: very. The squirt gun on every boat makes sure of it. The more you chase, the more you get chased. Nobody stays dry on these boats.
