Costa's Family Fun Park is an outdoor family fun park on Route 6 just east of Hawley, PA, near Lake Wallenpaupack, with go-karts, water slides, mini golf, laser tag and bumper boats.

Go-karts, water slides, bumper boats, laser tag, miniature golf, a driving range, batting cages, virtual reality, gem mining and a children's playland share one lot, with Hershey's ice cream at the snack bar. There is no gate charge, so you pay per activity or buy a wristband, and parking is free. It sits near Lake Wallenpaupack, so it pairs with a day at the lake or in Hawley.

Before you go

Water slides need independent swimmers at least 42 inches tall; single go-karts need age 7 and 42 inches, double karts take riders from age 3. A wristband bundles 2 go-kart rides with unlimited laser tag, mini golf, bumper boats and playland, a small range basket and a VR session.
