What to do and see in White Mountains, White Mountains: The Best Water & Amusement Parks

July 5, 2021 Hector Krause

New Hampshire's White Mountains are jam packed with attractions. Scenic roads make driving between them a delight. Trundle along Conway's Scenic Railroad and Mount Washington Cog Railway, sally upwards on the Cannon Mountain Aerial Tram and Loon Mountain Skyride, plunge down in Polar Caves Park and Flume Gorge, and reach top speeds at Attitash ski resort and summer playground. Offering a wealth of outdoors wonders both in winter and summer, the White Mountains are a thrill for all seasons.

Family of 4 (6 year old daughter and 3 yr old son) enjoyed a day at the park. Lots of rides - kids must be 36 inches to ride with an adult (48 inches to ride alone) which worked well for us. Good assortment of easy rides, fast rides, spinning rides (some are bit much - Turtles), water rides, and exciting speed up and down rides. We also had tea with Cinderella (adults do NOT need a ticket and I recommend NOT getting one!) - cute and the kids loved it. DInner with the characters at then end of the day (6pm) is pretty good - visited by each of the 6 characters and then a dance party for the kids. Long day - sleeping kids on the way back to our hotel.

My wife and I have visited Clark's multiple times over the past 10 years with our grandchildren and children. It is a must adventure if you are in the Lincoln, NH area for a few days. The admission fee and food costs are very reasonable for what they offer. At Clark's you can be entertained by a bear show, Chinese acrobats and various other things like riding a Segway, panning for precious rocks, a museum, water slide, shops, Merlin's house and other must see and do sites. You absolutely have to go on the White Mt. Central RR and experience the thrill of riding on a train and seeing Wolfman get agitated having visitors invade his territory. A day at Clark's is a wonderful time for everyone in the family you will have a great time. It is perfect family fun

Kahuna Laguna

The ocean has COME TO New Hampshire! Dive into a tropical adventure with the entire family at Kahuna Laguna, northern New England’s first indoor water park at the Red Jacket Mountain View Resort in North Conway, NH. It’s 40,000 square feet of splash-tacular fun! Zoom through one of four high-speed tubes before splashing into the landing pool below. Body surf in the swirling wave pool. Square off against your friends in an exciting game of water basketball or volleyball. And watch out for the 150-gallon tipping bucket! The whole family will enjoy the activity pool, water cannons and play tower, and your smallest kahunas will have a great time in the shallow pool, an area designed with them in mind. The Tiki Tide Café is ready with a snack or lunch when you need a break. And, the family fun center is the place for the latest arcade games. Red Jacket Mountain View Resort is located on 40 scenic acres in the heart of the White Mountains, with sweeping panoramic views of the surrounding area. The resort features 150 recently renovated rooms, casual family restaurants and fine dining, a full-service spa and trails for hiking or walking.Guests of the resort may enjoy Kahuna Laguna all year, and during the warmer months the new outdoor pool will also be open. In the winter, you won’t even have to step outside to enter our 82-degree tropical oasis in the middle of the mountains – and you’ll have a great view of the valley through the water park’s glass walls.

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.

Six Gun City

Park for children, offering a waterslide, petting zoo, trails in the woods and other outdoor activities.

Reviewed By Ilanfreedman

This theme park had a setting in a Western movie, such as "The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly". It offered gun fights, a stagecoach ride, and a saloon. The gift shop sold toy guns, cowboy hats, and other souvenirs.
