Places To Visit While In New Hampshire
Have a little extra time in the New Hampshire area or are you planning on turning your trip into a family vacation? Here is a list of places and attractions that Karen and I suggest you visit. For more information click on the name to visit their website.
Clark's Trading Post
Clark's has always been one of my favorite attractions. My family made many trips here over the years, and I was happy I was able to bring Karen here on our first trip up north. Of the many things to do at Clark's you can't miss the trained bear shows, it is sure to put a smile on your face.
Canobie Lake Park
Canobie Lake Park is an amusement park located in Salem, New Hampshire. Open every Summer since 1902, the park features roller coasters, flume rides, and other thrill rides, a favorite of mine as a child.
Story Land
A family theme park based on childrens fairy tales, with rides and attractions aimed at a younger crowd.
Portsmouth Harbor Lighthouse
New Hampshire is not really known for it's coastline, which is very small, but it does have one beautiful lighthouse which is open to the public and a great stop for you lighthouse lovers.
Granite State Whale Watch
Enjoy a day out on the altantic with a whale watching tour. Last season Granite State Whale Watch sighted 453 Humpbacks, 458 Fin Whales, 217 Minke Whales, 15 extremely rare North Atlantic Right Whales, and 17 Sei Whales. They traveled to Jeffreys Ledge in search of whales 151 times last season, and sighted whales on all but 3 trips.
MS Mount Washington Cruises
A nice relaxing day out on Lake Winnipesaukee, a great way to see the Lakes Region area and enjoy scenic New Hampshire.
Funspot
Officially the largest arcade in the world. Famous in classic gaming circles as the O.K. Corral of Arcades because it not only has the largest collection of classic arcade games, but it also has the creditability to hold massive tournaments that bring in the best players from all over the world to compete. A great stop for any family or group of friends. Also features 10 pin and candlepin bowling, restaurant, go-karts and more.
Jillians
Similar to Funspot but built around a sports bar with giant screen TVs for optimal sports viewing, a great menu, tournament quality billiard tables, arcade, and multi-media bowling alley.
Pirate's Cove Adventure Golf
Enjoy a game of miniature golf with friends and family at one of two local locations in Winnisquam and Weirs Beach.
Weirs Beach
Weirs Beach, or "The Weirs" as it is referred to by locals, is a wide, sandy, public beach on Lake Winnipesaukee. Adjacent to the beach is a boulevard and boardwalk that run along a quarter mile stretch with small shops, carnival style games, and arcades. It is a popular destination of bikers during the famous Laconia Motorcycle Week in held annually in June. You will also find Weirs Beach Water Slide at the entrance to Weirs Beach.
Weirs Beach Drive In
One of those hard to find pieces of Americana that everyone can enjoy. Re-live those first dates, remember your childhood, or have an all-new experience at the drive-in.
Tanger Outlets
A large shopping outlet located in Tilton featuring such favorites as Old Navy, Aeropostale, Van Heusen, Eddie Bauer, and more.
Tilton-Northfield Memorial Arch
I grew up in the shadow of this arch, silently overlooking the towns of Tilton and Northfield. Built in 1883 for Charles E. Tilton, this 50' high and 40' wide arch is built of Concord granite and was patterned after the Arch of Titus in Rome.
Canterbury Shaker Village
My great grandmother was raised by the Shakers, a now dead Protestant religious denomination which at one time was prominent in New England. Shaker Village is a great museum that preserves what is left of that time and shows people the true meaning of Simple Gifts.
The White Mountains
Former home of the Old Man of the Mountain, where you will find many other sites such as waterfalls, covered bridges, rock formations, hiking, and attractions.
New Hampshire Fisher Cats
Dedicated to providing a family-oriented entertainment experience and professional minor league baseball at affordable prices.
Tilton House of Pizza
The greatest pizza restaurant ever... it's as simple as that.

Oh manz all those places sound awesome.
How are the beaches for boggy boarding?
Well, there isn't much coastline so there aren't alot of ocean beaches, however there is Hampton Beach which is right by Portsmoth. I used to go there as a kid, I don't know how it would be for boogie boarding, but it is a nice beach.
