Wanderlust World Wanderlust World The city of Boston, Massachusetts, is located on the eastern seaboard of the state and offers several famous historical sites, a vibrant arts community, eclectic neighborhoods and districts and a bustling nightlife. The city enjoys warm summers and endures cold, snowy winters. Winter is the perfect time to visit a nearby, year-round indoor water park.
CoCo Key Water Park is located in the The Crowne Plaza Boston North Shore hotel, just a 20-minute drive north of Boston, in the town of Danvers.
