About
Nova Adventure Park in Lynnfield is an indoor adventure and amusement park located near Route 1 on the North Shore, serving families in the Lynnfield, Peabody, Saugus, and North Reading areas. The facility focuses on active, physical entertainment — climbing challenges, jumping activities, and movement-based attractions that get kids genuinely physically engaged rather than passively entertained.
For North Shore families, Nova offers a convenient local alternative to driving into Boston for entertainment, with easy highway access and ample parking. The Route 1 corridor in Lynnfield has extensive dining options for before or after your visit.
The attraction mix appeals to school-age kids and teens who want a physical challenge in a safe indoor environment. Younger children ages 5-7 can participate in most activities with parental supervision. The facility is not particularly suited for toddlers or infants.
Open daily (hours vary — check the website), with weekday afternoon hours starting at 3pm Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday. Wednesday opens at noon, making it a good school-vacation option mid-week. Weekend hours run 10am-10pm on Saturdays and 10am-8pm on Sundays.
