Family Friendly Journey to the North Pole

Family-Friendly Journey to the North Pole – The Polar Express

Here are some really fun things to do in North Conway, New Hampshire during your holiday this year (or any year).
 
Sometimes, getting away for the holidays is the best way to celebrate with the whole family. You could spend your holiday down in Florida where it’s warm but then you miss out on all the coziness and things to do in North Conway that winter has to offer.
 
Trust me, no one is wrapped in a blanket, sitting by a fire and drinking hot chocolate in Florida…but they are doing it in North Conway. 

North Conway Weather - Anything and Everything Outdoors

​   
According to meteorologists, North Conway weather this winter is supposed to be quite cold and very snowy.  We all know meteorologists can be mistaken but sometimes they can be right!
 
New Hampshire has an abundance of outdoor activities, especially when there is snow on the ground. Ice skating, snowmobiling, cross country skiing, downhill skiing, snowboarding, sledding, tubing, snowshoeing, hiking, and ice fishing.
 
If you love the outdoors and are ready to have an adventurous winter vacation in the White Mountains, then any of those activities are for you. The North Conway area is surrounded by cross country ski trails, mountain resorts, hills, lakes, ice rinks, snowmobile trails, and most importantly snow. I’m not talking about manmade snow either, it’s the real deal out here.
 
So, grab your best winter gear and enjoy the beautiful scenery while going on any of these great adventures that New England has to offer.
 
Pack up your family and your warmest clothes and head to the North Conway, in the majestic White Mountains to enjoy the beautiful New Hampshire weather, activities, and that true holiday feeling we all crave.
