Hampton Inn & Suites by Hilton Moncton
The only indoor water slide on this strip
About this hotel
Hampton Inn & Suites by Hilton Moncton sits off the Trans-Canada Highway about three miles from downtown Moncton, built around an indoor pool with its own water slide and a gym, the only in-hotel slide tracked near Magic Mountain. Rooms include a flat-screen TV, coffee maker and work area, with a refrigerator for keeping snacks and drinks cold between slide sessions. A daily breakfast is bundled into the rate, useful before an early start out to the outdoor water park itself, and the property sits about twelve miles from Greater Moncton International Airport, a straightforward transfer for a family flying in. The indoor slide works well for younger kids not quite ready for Magic Mountain's bigger outdoor flumes, giving them a taste of the same fun at a smaller, more manageable scale before graduating to the real thing.

Our take
Hampton Inn & Suites is the pick for a family with a wide age range across siblings, since the indoor water slide suits toddlers too small for Magic Mountain's bigger flumes while older kids handle the outdoor park during the day. It sits a genuine drive from downtown, so budget the transfer time, but the in-hotel slide is a real point of difference on this Moncton strip.
- ✓Bring toddlers here specifically if they are not yet ready for Magic Mountain's bigger outdoor flumes and slides this season.
- ✓Use the indoor water slide as backup on a rainy day or an evening the outdoor park has already closed for the night.
- ✓Keep drinks and snacks in the in-room refrigerator between slide sessions instead of relying on vending machines nearby.

Why guests love itOur youngest was too small for Magic Mountain's bigger flumes, so the indoor water slide here became her own version of the trip while her brother spent the day at the real park. She never once asked to leave the hotel pool, and the daily breakfast meant mornings stayed simple before the twenty-minute drive out to the outdoor slides for the rest of the family each day.
