Despite being a primarily rural part of the country, Northern New England has a lot of fun things to do.

In addition to all of the outdoor activities, we have amazing restaurants & bars, unique shops, top-notch concert venues, and some of the best amusement parks on this side of the Mississippi.

Ice Castles, for example.

In addition to the sculptures, the attraction also features sleigh rides, an illuminated forest walk, snow tubing, and more.
