West Rattlesnake Mountain

Reviewed By SteveH0615 - Pennsylvania

The rattle snake trail is a must do. Fairly easy to start and then gets a little steeper. Little kids may need a little help near the top. It took our group four hours for the round trip. Take a picnic lunch and enjoy the awesome view of Squam lake.

Keepsake Quilting

Reviewed By verocrafter - Vero Beach, Florida

Always wanted to go here. Have gotten catalogs for years. Stop at quilt shops every where I go. Nice selection of fabrics. Having been to tons of quilt shops would have liked to have seen tons of finished quilts hanging from the ceiling. Thought they would have more classes. But overall fun stop for a quilter.

Monkey Trunks

Monkey Trunks offers fun for children, adults and families! Participants begin with ground school and receive safety instructions on how to navigate through the course. They then move on to the green course to demonstrate they have the ability to properly use their equipment. After completing these two stages, participants will progress through the levels - each level becomes progressively more challenging! Monkey Trunks courses feature ziplines, swinging beams, tightropes, rolling logs, hanging tires, cargo nets and more! Each Monkey Trunks location includes a children's course for the littlest of monkeys, with platforms no more than 6' off the ground. The children's courses include 6-8 challenges with an 80' zipline at the finish. Reservations are encouraged and can be made anytime online or by phone! Our Weirs Beach location offers a unique experience - zipping at night!

Reviewed By Susan G - Norwood, Massachusetts, United States

Great staff walk you through a training course before you head to the main course on your own. Rules are easy to follow and staff are on hand to remind you. Some rope spans are quite challenging while others are quite easy. Zip line was great fun!

Breakfast, lunch and cocktails are available on board. Sunset dinner dance cruises feature buffet dinner and dancing to live music.

Reviewed By nejorob - Plymouth MA

Staying in Meredith for a few days included a coupon for the Lake cruise which we have never done.
It was a bit cool but the trip to Wolfboro from Weirs Beach was great. Our only complaint was the food. Under a Deli Offering it had a Turkey, stuffing, cranberry sauce sandwich. Sounded good, but what we got was a very greasy, heavy grilled Turkey and stuffing sandwich. Not " Deli " as we know it.

Squam Lakes Natural Science Center

Squam Lakes Natural Science Center is a fun and enlightening place for everyone to enjoy. Here at the Science Center, we house and exhibit many different wild animals, including river otters, mountain lions, bobcats, deer, bears, birds, foxes, and skunks. The wild animals at Squam Lakes Natural Science Center are ambassadors of their species, here for the purpose of educating our visitors about New Hampshire's natural world. Most are orphaned, injured, or otherwise unable to survive in the wild. Observing these animals up-close, together with experiencing our hands-on exhibits, offers visitors the opportunity to develop a deeper understanding of our native wildlife and appreciation of the natural world.

Our visit, which was booked at the last minute, was pure magic! The interpretive exhibits, especially the Water Matters one, were very informative and fun. How are ice blocks made? How do earthworms aerate the soil? And Laurie was a great tour guide and lake boat driver. Loves everything about Little and Big Squam...and it shows! Don't miss this attraction!

There are 94 motorcycles on display from 1909 to 2005, a movie theater, a workshop where we build a bike a year, a special Laconia Race exhibit with racers from 1909 to the present,our lobby is dedicated to our military with original WW11 motors and much more.

Reviewed By rwdw - Catlin, Illinois

A few weeks before out vacation we were searching for a place to rent kayaks on Lake Winnipesaukee which was close to where we were staying in Ashland. We called Wild Meadow and was told that they did have the kayaks we wanted. The man on the phone went over thier rates (half day, day, ect...). I told him that we wanted a half day on the morning of June 24th. He took my name, number in my party and told me that he would see me at 9:00 am. I asked him if he needed a deposit? No he told me, I will have everything waiting for you.
So we arrived a little before 9 am and everything was set out and ready for us. We all signed the paperwork and paid him. After some instructions on where the speed boat channel was and nice places to go, we set out.
It was a Monday morning and we had most of the lake to ourselves. It was a sunny day in the 70's with very little wind. It was great for kayaking along the coast..
We paddled away from Center Harbor by some homes, but mostly it was wooded area.
Since there were very few speed boats we paddled across the lake going east by Three Mile Island. We were barked at by a dog guarding a dock and house on one of the small islands. One kayak in our group did paddled as far as the Old Long Island Bridge.
Then we turned around and took our time paddling back to Center Harbor. On this side there were many more houses to look at along the way.
Lake Winnipesaukee will take you away from all of the stress of the modern world if you let it. Kayaking in its waters did it for me.

Funspot

Game arcade offering a special room of working vintage 1970s and '80s games.

Reviewed By NYY_FanIn_BOS_Nation - Boston, Massachusetts

It is like a trip down memory lane. They have hundreds of arcade games, mostly older from the 1970's/1980's (including an original "pong" game) to somewhat more modern machines.
The selection of pinball machines is not as expansive, but it is a nice selection, the only problem is a few need to be fixed so the bumpers & flipper paddles are more responsive.
The have bowling, skee-ball and other fun activities too.
There are games for little kids all the way through big kid adults.

We had an enjoyable few hours here.
