10 Fun Activities & Games in New Hampshire That You Shouldn't Miss

September 26, 2021 Claudia Navarrete

If you are looking for diversity, you will certainly find it in New Hampshire. From lakes to beaches, waterfalls to woods and mountains to sea coast, the state has huge potential for outdoor vacations, including downhill or cross-country skiing in winter. With no less than seventy-five state parks that offer natural areas, hiking trails, beaches and historic sites, New Hampshire caters for a variety of tastes. Crawford Notch State Park in Harts Location has picturesque waterfalls, wonderful mountain views and opportunities for viewing wildlife. You can go hiking and fishing there as well as pay a visit to the historic Willey House. Monadnock State Park, unlike some other state parks, is open all year round for hiking. Want to go swimming? You will find five state park beaches along the coast of New Hampshire, such as Wallis Sands with its view of the rocky Isles of Shoals. On North Hampton State Beach and Jenness Beach you can have a picnic as well as a swim. When you've finally had your fill of fresh air, head for the Museum of New Hampshire History in Concord with exhibits focusing on heritage and traditions; children should enjoy them just as much as adults.

I grew up going here, and to this day, it never fails to impress me. The charm of the old theatre combined with the wonderful selection of films that are played make it a true NH gem.

I took my son and some of his friends to this place to celebrate his 12th birthday and we did the vintage circus room. It was a HUGE hit! They were able to accommodate 8 of us in a room and everyone had a blast figuring out the puzzles. We were even able to escape the room with 5mins to spare, but it wasn't easy! Definitely a great activity to do during this pandemic! Clean facilities and super friendly employees! Highly recommended!!!!

Monkey Mind was a lot of fun. My husband I have done 15-20 escape rooms over the last few years. I was impressed by the knowledge of the staff here on the evolution of escape rooms. We did both the Antidote and Mummy rooms because we were offered a discount for doing a second room and it was a blast. The two rooms were quite different, but totally enjoyable. The special effects were cool- in both rooms, there were moments where I jumped because of something happening that gave a little spook but nothing serious. Regarding COVID, they had plenty of protocols in place to ensure cleanliness and safety. Highly recommend!
