Summertime is ideal for getting out and enjoying New Hampshire’s family-friendly attractions. Museums, parks, and even easy hikes can be a great way to have fun together without planning a large vacation. When the temperatures soar, one of the best things to do is visit the local water parks. But, those often include long lines and high prices. That’s why we love this option! New Hampshire’s fun splash-pad tends to fly under the radar, but it’s certainly worth a closer look.
