1. Canobie Lake Park
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 871 reviews
Canobie Lake Park in Salem, New Hampshire has over 85 Rides, Games, Live Entertainment and Attractions, including our wild roller coaster, UNTAMED!
Reviewed By John D - Manchester, New Hampshire
Canobie is a nice example of an old fashioned park. It’s popular with locals and even crowded at times. Once you’ve seen Disney, six flags, or Universal, it’s tough to go but it’s cute; quaint really. It has boat rides on the lake and a tiny train running through the park. It has water rides and a decent coaster.
2. High 5 Ballooning

Excellent adventure from start to finish. When you take a flight with High 5 Ballooning, you will quickly get the impression that Tony Sica [owner and pilot] runs his business with one question in mind; “If a were a client, what would define the perfect flight experience for me? As it is with most things in life, it is the small things, the little details that matter, from a clearly enthusiastic pilot, to having the balloon chasers taking photographs from the ground along the way, to the nice picnic at the end in a nice, scenic area.
As a person who has flown in balloons many times over the years in different locales and varied conditions, Tony is at the top of the list. He will work with you to make your flight experience a memorable one. From my experience, there are two kinds of people who provide a good or service: Those who do their job and those who do their job well. Tony certainly fits the latter category and is the consummate professional from start to finish. Thanks, Tony <and Chase Crew>!

We toured the brewery and spent time at the horse stables. Very knowledgeable staff and the horses are a must see! The gift shop has a lot of really neat things also. Time well spent. Glad we took the time to visit.
4. Pinball Wizard Arcade

Reviewed By Miike L - Dracut, Massachusetts
If you want to escape for a little while this may be a good option. They have plenty of pin ball machines, some classics. Can't always tell how many may be working because they are largely mechanical and do tend to break down. They also have video games which you may remember from your earlier years.
When you go in you can buy a bunch of tokens which are accepted in the machines. Just chill out and have fun.
5. Mack's Apples
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 96 reviews
Reviewed By MeganZopf - Fitzwilliam, New Hampshire
I stopped by to get some apples and fresh vegetables a couple of days ago. I was more interested in the vegetable than the apples, however my daughter did buy apples and pie. I bought some green peppers and I decided to buy a homemade chicken pot pie that was frozen. I was told by one of the employees they were delicious so I took her word. I bought the one that had peas and carrots because some do not. It is labeled as Aristocrat Chicken Pot Pie White Meat With Peas and Carrots. Let me tell you it is about as close to homemade as you can get! It was a perfect meal and delicious! I'll make a trip back before the season is over to buy a couple more. I am sorry this review is more about the pie than apple picking. I have picked apples there in previous years though. The homemade pie my daughter bought was also delicious. It had the crumb top verses crust but it was good. This was also frozen and had to be cooked. I recommend stopping by before the season is over!
6. Benson Park

Reviewed By Lauralanglois - Hudson, New Hampshire
Best local place to go cross country running. With just enough trails to get 5m in and enough variety to keep you from getting bored, Bensons is a winner! Lots of different terrain, from woods to field, to marshland, it's a fantastic place to walk,
Picnic, fish or just explore.
7. Searles Castle

Reviewed By GraceMarieGMC - NH
We've visited Searles Castle many times for various parties and functions, and the grounds and the Castle itself are really special. The property is very well-maintained and sits high up on a hill in southern New Hampshire surrounded by beautiful trees and winding paths. If you're in the area, check to see whether the Castle is open. It's definitely worth a visit.
8. America's Stonehenge
Overall Ratings
3.5 based on 184 reviews
Formerly known as Mystery Hill, this unusual site contains many ancient rock structures "built" by humans.
Reviewed By Madoc040 - Greenville, South Carolina
Some people go to the beach while on vacation, others go to the mountains. I my preference is to visit historic sites. On a recent trip to New England I drove into southern New Hampshire in order to tour America's Stonehenge. Although not bearing any real resemblance to the Stonehenge in England, it is nonetheless a fascinating place to explore. There are ancient (?) stone walls and stone chambers, and even a horizontal stone 'table' believed to have been used for sacrificial purposes. Who built this place - the native Americans, the Vikings, the Phoenicians, the \Celts? Who knows? Half the fun of exploring the place is speculating on who might have been its creators. The place is run by a man named Dennis Stone, whom I had heard on a radio program a few months before my visit. Before I left I walked down to the entrance gate, which he was painting at the time, to briefly tell him that I had heard him on the radio and to tell him that I had enjoyed my visit. We ended up chit-chatting for the better part of two hours about the place and the hundreds of other megalithic sites that can be found throughout New England. America's Stonehenge is well worth a visit if you ever find yourself in southern new Hampshire or even in the Boston area. Also, before you leave, check out the alpacas that Stone keeps on the grounds.

10. Robert Frost Farm State Historic Site

Farm where Frost lived, raised his children and wrote.
Reviewed By NewHampshiretraveler - Exeter, NH
Very simple "museum". The house where Robert Frost is now alongside a busy road. The barn hosts the "museum" which is really just a spot to watch some videos on RF and look at some family portraits and tools. Inside, a plain, white clapboard house...that shows some of the artifacts of the early 1900s when the family lived there. They had relocated to England then Franconia...and the property was a "junk yard" for decades, until the park service took it over and restored the property to its original appearance. You can do this in less than an a hour. A good stop for teachers, history buffs and readers of literature and poetry.
