Reviewed By Bden99 - Manchester, New Hampshire
We accessed the trail in Nashua. The trail itself is relatively flat and goes by very quickly. It is suitable for all ages. There are no motorized vehicles allowed, which makes this a good place to ride. There are various places to park along the route which makes this good for doing partial sections of the trail.

This is our fav farm! My son loves the cows, rabbits, chickens and goats. He enjoys feeding them. We love the beautiful flowers and the produce. It's such a great effort to support the local farms even though they may be a bit more pricey. We love the huge weeping willows and apple trees. It's a great place to visit.

This great restaurant has amazing steaks, a beautiful view of Gibbett Hill and friendly staff. Enjoy your meal while watching the cattle graze peacefully on the hill. My favorite is the Steak Frites with delicious hanger steak, salad and their amazing french fries. Make weekend reservations weeks in advance if you have a special occasion coming up.
5. Andres Institute of Art

Our hiking group hiked through & around the trails of Andres Institute of Art last week. The trails and some of the art sculptures were covered in a foot of snow. Snowshoes were necessary in order for us to navigate around the Institute and enjoy the artist's sculptures. Artists from all over the world create their jewels of art on the property at location of their choosing.
The sculptures are incredible. Beautifully handcrafted stone, metal, granite. Each with a personal subject/purpose on display. It was amazing to see the many different countries represented by the artists.
This is a work in progress that grows each year as the institute attracts more artists every year.
After two hours of snowshoeing we had explored dozens of pieces of art. I'm sure we'll be back again to enjoy a much different hiking experience than our usual climb up a mountain trail.

Reviewed By Tripking07 - New Hampshire
I said it was fun for everyone - I mean it. For the kids there is tractor pulls, hay rides, and a little animal farm. For the adults there is a small farm stand, Corn gun's (where you shoot the corn at targets with a pressure launcher - tons of fun), kettle corn they make on the spot...and for both there is a world class Corn Maze (which is huge) and of course ICE CREAM.... oh bye the way the ice cream is fantastic!!! The owners were out talking with everyone and the mini amusement park was very inexpensive. They make it affordable to go and make 2-3 hours of fun for a good size family for under $30. I couldnt do that anywhere.
Did i mention the owners were awesome. The live right on sight and the one of the owners told me the ice cream is fresh.
This place is a small town feel attraction and I LOVE THAT. It is in a rural location so don't be shy if it's not crazy busy...go and have fun. We purchased three BEAUTIFUL potted annual's for $5 each which is super cheap.
We will bring the kids back time and time again....I hope the surrounding towns support what this family is doing because they made quite an investment as it's a special place.
Thanks to the hospitable owners.

9. Northeast Fly Fishing School
Overall Ratings
5 based on 42 reviews
In the Northeast Fly Fishing School you will not only learn how to fly cast, but where and when to cast. You will learn how to identify what trout eat, how to select flies that match trout food and how to present the fly in a natural way on a trout stream, not just a casting pond. We teach you how to "read the water" and learn where trout hold in a stream, how to approach them and how to cast to where they will eat your fly. In the classroom, at the casting pond and on a local stream - you will get personal fly fishing instruction and not be in a large class. We give you personal attention that quickly lets you be effective. Don't be "short-changed" by schools that are only a few hours or a day-long. You receive a full day of classroom and casting instruction AND a half-day on-the-river fishing instruction. Your instructors are licensed, insured fly fishing guides with years of experience. In addition to the fly fishing school, they are available for personal guided fly fishing trips in Massachusetts and New Hampshire.

Your private tour will last approximately 45 minutes, and consist of visiting with and feeding one of our 12 alpacas and 2 miniature donkeys. You will be able to interact with our shetland sheep and dwarf goats. Finally, visit our country store where everything Alpaca is available for sale (Alpaca mittens, scarves, shawls, teddy bears, socks, hats, etc...)
Reviewed By Joyce J - Dunstable, Massachusetts
Stopped at this little farm last month after being told about it by family. There is a small assortment of animals here that you are allowed to visit with. They have rescue alpaca's, some donkeys, ducks, goats, a sheep and the horse/s were out when we visited. A dog rounds out the pack. The owner could not have been nicer. He approached us with a friendly greeting when we pulled up in the driveway and offered to show us around. He allowed us to go into the pen with the goats and the alpaca's which was great! They sell some items in a little shed on property. All so soft. If in the area it is worth stopping in.
