Named one of the 12 best state parks in America.
Reviewed By AAHolt - United States
Fall is a beautiful time of year to visit Franconia Notch State Park. There are hiking trails but you can also see a lot from your car if you have mobility issues. Can be expensive and very crowded.
2. Weeks State Park

State park where you will find Mount Prospect and a beautiful view of the North Country.
Reviewed By Shannon M - Penacook, New Hampshire
My husband visited after our innkeeper told us that the views were something not to be missed. Oh boy what views were seen! On all sides at the top were breathtaking views of mountains and rivers and lakes. We also took the tour of the cabin and what interesting things we learned. Overall, great visit!
3. Bretton Woods Canopy Tour
Overall Ratings

Reviewed By Lisa W - Madison, Maine
Went on a group tour with three other adults and six teenage boys (two groups of five). This is a very cool experience. A couple bouncy sky bridges, a few rappels and nine ziplines made this activity one of the best I have done recently. I asked the boys for their ratings after the tour, and I got 8.5 to 9.5 out of 10. Zipping over the forest floor provides extreme views at several of the zips. Just don't forget to look around! The booking was easy and the personnel were great when we got there. There are two guides that go with you and hook you up and unhook you, giving you advice and instructions, and ours were great. At the end, you get a complimentary ride on the lift back to the top if you want to eat in the restaurant, and a complimentary ride on the racing zip. Although we got a group discount, this is kind of expensive without the discount at a single person price of $110.00. I would definitely do this again even with the cost.
4. Muddy Paw Sled Dog Kennel - Day Tours
Overall Ratings
5 based on 227 reviews
Muddy Paw Sled Dog Kennel is the premier dog sled touring operator in New England. We offer year round dog sledding adventures that range from 2 - 50 miles (including overnights). All of our dog sledding experiences are designed to be hands on to the comfort level of the guests. Participants ages 2 and up are given the opportunity to meet and greet our rescue and second chance sled dogs, help harness and hitch their team and even help drive the sled (at musher discretion for guests and dog safety of course)! As always, the proceeds generated from our kennel based tours go directly to covering the expenses involved in taking in these incredible canine athletes and providing them with a home and job for life.

We got back from New Hampshire this past weekend and Muddy Paws was certainly the highlight of our trip! Due to time constraints, we could only do the one hour kennel tour but it was absolutely worth it. Despite the sub zero temperatures, the three staff we met were all in high spirits and INCREBILY nice. We got stories about each dog and were free to roam and pet whoever we pleased (serious heaven for any dog lover). There was a family from Texas that was awaiting their tour inside the heated area trying to keep warm while we were outside with the dogs. Much to my boyfriend's surprise, we were asked to help hitch the team for their tour (put on harnesses and clip into the line) which just about made his entire day, as well as mine. I have experience with dog sledding and sled dogs in general, as my family lives in Alaska and sponsors one of the greatest Iditarod mushers of all time. I can assure you these dogs were happy, healthy and LOVE what they do. Many are rescues and last chance dogs which I find absolutely wonderful. To make it all even better, when the sled dogs are retired, they are adopted out. We compiled our own list of who's ready for a home because we would love one (or three)!!
Overall, this place is absolutely wonderful and they certainly deserve your business. Dog sledding is such a fun and thrilling experience and I can assure that your kids/family will remember it for a long time.

7. The Mount Washington Cog Railway

Climb to the top of Mount Washington on the world's first mountain-climbing Cog Railway trains!
Reviewed By WhiteMtnskier - Newmarket, New Hampshire
We were lucky to be able to arrive and get tickets on a whim! We were in town for a weekend of hiking and had just finished our morning hike. The whole experience is well organized and the train escorts are very knowledgeable and tell stories about the history of The Cog. It takes about an hour to chug slowly uphill ... it’s amazing at the summit! They give you an hour at the summit to take photos and enjoy the scenery. There is a cafeteria style food area and gift shop. We had a warm and clear day so we’re very lucky to have this all work out so well.
It’s a great trip for the entire family!

My family and I visited Santa’s Village the Friday after Thanksgiving. It was the perfect place to be to kick in the Christmas season! My children loved the real reindeer - such beautiful animals. They had so much fun feeding them apples. They also had a blast decorating the gingerbread cookies and drinking hot cocoa. We were also pleased to see that there was a manger scene incorporated into the park. The lights that came on in the evening were beautiful and really puts you in a festive mood. If you love Christmas like we do, you will love this park! Just make sure you bring cold weather gear for the colder months!

The welcome Center had lots of historical content and it was good for us to know.Once we left this building, we saw amazing attractions.
This was our highlight of Franconia. This is an amazing adventure. We saw some great rocks. Unmovable!
We were walking in the forest. We saw two beautiful covered bridges. The last one had great views. Wow!
Once we were in the flume, we were mesmerized by its beauty. The further we went, the more beautiful it became.
They had paths near the river and waterfalls and wooden stairs. There were so many waterfalls. Everyone in our vicinity were walking quite slow, so that they could take some nice pictures, which wasn't be difficult.
We stayed here for 3 hours. It was so beautiful. We even enjoyed our walk in the forest.
It's a must see! Enjoy!
