Escape Indoors for Rainy Day Fun in New Hampshire
Here in New England, we have a saying: If you don’t like the weather—wait five minutes. But on those occasional days when the forecast calls for gloomy skies and rain all day, it’s wise to have a backup in case that beach day or family hiking trip gets rained out. Here are six indoor activities to keep on your radar that the whole family will love!
Children's Museum of New Hampshire, Dover
Head to the seacoast for a visit to New Hampshire’s most visited educational and cultural institution! The one-of-a-kind, hands-on exhibits are specially curated to engage not only the kids, but the whole family.

Explore an indoor tropical oasis at Kahuna Laguna—New Hampshire’s largest indoor waterpark.
