What to do and see in New Hampshire, United States: The Best Movie Theaters
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.

We went to see Jimmy Lehoux on their second reopening night. The newly refurbished theater is nice. Comfortable seats and excellent sound. There is a bar at the rear of the main floor. All seats are general admission but there were no problems in finding a seat. There is no theater exclusive parking but there is on street parking and just up the block there is a large parking garage. We are looking forward to returning hare.

Why see a movie the old fashion way when you can come here and see it sitting in a D-BOX chair! Its just the best fun you can have for cheap money. Get interactive with your favorite movie and feel like you are part of the excitement.

We live in Hooksett and love going to Cinemagic for our movies. We saw a show in IMAX ("Dunkirk"), and the theater was clean and a nice atmosphere - although the sound was excessively loud and hurt my ears. A friend has recently commented about the sound being too loud for "Wonder Woman"; however when I went to see it in a non-IMAX theater there we didn't have the same sound issues. I love the idea of the IMAX screen, but I'm not sure it's worth the extra money to deal with the sound - we may just try the 2D theater instead and save our hearing and a few dollars. The popcorn was good, and I like that they offer more food options besides popcorn and candy. They seem to have a lot of drink options (soda, flavored waters, alcohol, coffee etc). I just wish they had an iced tea option since I don't drink soda, and I don't really care for hi-c pink lemonade. I typically get water, but I was looking for another alternative yesterday that I just didn't find. We will definitely be back, and I always recommend this theater to anyone looking to see a movie.

We went in May for a double feature during the social distancing. It was such a breath of fresh air to get out of the house and to be in a place where we felt comfortable during the pandemic. Cars were spaced one per pole section (instead of the typical 2). Bathrooms were clean (which had been my concern prior to going). Concessions were distanced with cones to indicate spacing. Nice to be able to carry on a family tradition during the pandemic. They do have a requirement that anytime outside the vehicle, whether it is a trip to the bathroom or sitting in the back of your truck or next to your car, that you must wear a mask. This took a bit getting used to but completely worth it. If you find yourself not wanting to wear a mask, then save the visit until after the pandemic. During this pandemic, make sure to buy your tickets online as they do sell out. Also make sure to get there early enough to get a good spot. We got there about 30 minutes before sunset and it was more than 2/3's full. Cars that came in at sunset or after were having a harder time to find parking. Also note that leashed dogs that are good with kids, strangers, and loud noises are welcome at Milford. Looking forward to many more future visits to this fun drive in.
