Glen Ellis Falls

Reviewed By Cathyandal - Portland, Maine

A beautiful spot, but an earlier comment said an easy walk. I disagree, there is a stone path and a railing but it is quite a few stairs down and even tougher climb back up. For those with bad legs, knees it is a tough hike- we did it but it was a slow hike!!

This would have been interesting and fun in the sixties, but it is not today. Rides and exhibits are simply dated and the storyland themes are not interesting to kids beyond the age of six.

We were 2 couples and we did the 3 hour tour. Dick was our guide and has an amazing personality. He was also very patient with others on the tour!
The views were awesome, from the overlooks to the bridges and streams.
If you have the chance to do take any of their tours, please do. You will not regret it.

Hartmann Model Railroad & Toy Museum

Reviewed By Heather F - Westford, Massachusetts

Impressive collection of trains and cars. Everyone there was very friendly. We did get the cautionary warning to keep our children near and that we were responsible for any damage. It's probably an hour activity at best. It's one of those things to check off your list of North Conway area activities but it's not probably something you'd repeat.

Jackson Falls

Reviewed By SandyRiver - Stamford CT

Ample parking along the roadside. The falls are a series of stepped granite falls, pools, and cool rock formations. Great for exploring both in the water and alongside . Be sure to wear water shoes, as the wet rocks are very slippery.

Went and did the intro to ice climbing with a small group and a guide. It was a bitter cold day and after a challenging hike through the snow I got very cold. The guide was very accomidating bringing along and extra parka and sharing his hot chocolate. This made the day a great at experience with fun climbs and good people. We stayed in the bunk house that night and it's very affordable and nice enough for a group stay area.

I took a Paint Your Pet class at Jackson Art Studio with Melanie last spring and it was wonderful in every way. The instruction, atmosphere and entire experience was just perfect and I look forward to attending another class. Melanie is an experienced and talented artist who knows how to teach, demonstrate and encourage the participants. Right next door to the classroom is an exquisite gallery of incredible artwork from local artists and you're only a few steps away from the magnificence of New Hampshire's White Mountains.

Cathedral Ledge

A rock cliff that is popular with climbers.

Reviewed By hippiemoose - Plymouth, Massachusetts

Long winding steep road to the top but the views are well worth it. You may be lucky enough to see rock climbers scaling the ledge. Be sure to walk all around as there are multiple different views of different areas, Some have fencing to make it safer but there are other areas that you can get to to view other rock ledges and walls that have no fencing. A must if you are in the area.

Since 1965, the Covered Bridge Shoppe has been a favorite stop for travelers in our valley.

In addition, we offer a full line of souvenirs including a great selection of T-shirts. We are open everyday from the end of May through October - 10AM - 5PM

Reviewed By phil52_10 - Maidstone, United Kingdom

A gift shop with a difference, the walk over the bridge brings you to a deceptively large shop. It carries the usual touristy stuff as well as craft handiwork. The proprietor is very helpful and friendly, parking is somewhat limited, but you should find something you like here.

Bear Notch Ski Touring Center

Reviewed By DandC_Fl_USA - FL, USA

We are novice skiers and had a great time. Clifton and his coworkers were wonderful. The equipment we rented was first rate and the trails were nicely prepared and very scenic. We skied down along the river and also up along trail 2. The soup and fresh bread were also terrific. You simply can't have a better XC skiing experience [a member from a XC ski club said it was their favorite location in the area and we can see why].
