Editor's Pick

Hopkinton's Beech Hill Farm

Grab the clan (and perhaps a compass) and head over to Hopkinton's Beech Hill Farm where you'll find labyrinths made from corn stalks. The farm's "corn mazes" will be open daily through the end of August from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Admission is $3 for one maze or $5 for all three. While you're there sample some ice cream, buy yummy baked goods and say hello to the animals. Call 223-0828 for details.

Backyard Adventures

With so much to do around here it can be hard to pick the perfect day trip. We've reviewed some of our favorites.

Ice cream!!!!! And more

Just up the hill from the Weirs Beach sign, past the Lobster Pound and behind the water slide's giant concrete volcano is Kellerhaus, an outpost of make-your-own-sundaes, handmade candy and eclectic gifts housed in a cottage so Alpine, Heidi could skip out the front door at any moment.

Night at the races

Twice a year, NASCAR's premier race tour rolls into the state, bringing its caravans of RVs, star drivers and $100 tickets with it. But every Friday night from late April to late October, the Lee USA Speedway offers smaller, NASCAR-sanctioned races with local drivers and a much more affordable price tag.

'50s-style fun

Some people loved the Milford Drive-in so much growing up that they're now bringing their own children. Not much has changed. A second screen has been added, and the speakers that once hung from the poles that mark where each car should park are gone. The drive-in now has its own radio frequencies. But the atmosphere is the same.

A little bit of everything

Wolfeboro’s Libby Museum is a cheery place, with lots of lifelike animals and hands-on activities for children.
But interspersed among the small natural history museum’s more expected offerings – American Indian artifacts and Lake Winnipesaukee fish, for example – are unusual (and mildly unsettling) finds. Some of the weirdest: a monkey-tooth necklace, a brown, withered mummy hand and a 3-inch-long pinkish Chinese fingernail, “extracted from a person as evidence of good faith of conversion to the Christian Religion,” according to a nearby label.

Tall order

At Polly's Pancake Parlor in Sugar Hill, the real maple syrup flows like water, the view of the White Mountains is spectacular, and the pancakes taste better than just about any. The restaurant, which is open from the first full weekend in May through the end of October each year, has long been a fixture in the hills of northern New Hampshire. Polly and Wilfred "Sugar Bill" Dexter opened Polly's as a small tearoom during the Depression in 1938.
