What to do and see in North Conway, New Hampshire (NH): The Best Things to do Good for a Rainy Day
North Conway, part of New Hampshire's scenic Mount Washington Valley, has been dubbed the offspring of a quintessential New England village and a Gap outlet.

The best cigar bar I have ever been in. Unrivaled choice of cigars in professional humidor. Peggy was awesome and Brian was a top notch server. Relaxed atmosphere. Spent a Saturday afternoon with the boys watching the Bruins and Red Sox on separate tv's. Giant bar, and two large additional rooms with big leather couches and comfy leather chairs. Can't wait to go back.

Our granddaughter LOVES going to the Children’s Museum every week, but RESISTS leaving! Why? Because of the wonderful, supportive, welcoming staff. Because of the positive environment and wonderful, learning activities and opportunities, like the Trains, the Cars, the Sand boxes, the Slides, the Tree house, the Kitchens, the Puzzles, etc.

We absolutely love it here . We’re locals and go at least once or twice a year. Our kids love the water slides and the giant hot tub. The drinks are great and the place is very clean . The cost is a bit high for locals though.

Talking to the dogs! The wines are good with a wide selection at a variety of price points. Staff is very friendly and knowledgeable. But the DOGS! Stella - a laid back white pit bull - is an absolute sweetheart, as are Lucy & Doc, 2 very friendly black labs. Stella always brings me her toy and Doc loves back rubs. Lucie does too. There's a new girl now, whose name escapes me at the moment, and she's still a little shy but willing to get love! Seriously good wine, though. I especially love the fruited whites!
