Our excursion aboard the Millie B. was nothing short of amazing! We were warmly greeted by a lovely…read morehost by the name of Amanda. She filled us in on what to expect as we embarked on our cruise. She introduced us to our Captain Brian, who welcomed us warmly and familiarized us with the safety features as well as the background on the Gorgeous wooden Hacker Craft, with its exquisite rich wood and lovely hunter green upholstery. Brian was phenomenal! His knowledge of the Lake is vast, and he has a gift for communicating in a way that is educational, fun and engaging! It's as if he's been doing this forever, and gave us a perspective on Winnipesaukee that was multi-faceted...taking in points of environmental interest such as loons and an actual volcano, human interest, such as celebrity residents, all the while cleverly weaving in the rich history of the lake, including a very heartwarming story of a young Native American man and his lovely bride to be. It was as if he was introducing the lake like an old friend. Brian is seasoned and at the same time humorous. We enthusiastically recommend this cruise. We loved it!

My wife got reservations for us on the Millie B for my birthday in June of 2018, and we then toured…read morethe NH Boat Museum. The boat ride is really fun. And even though there was a fairly stiff breeze blowing up some chop, the Millie B just plowed through it all. Just be aware that getting wet is all part of the trip.... I want to do it again! The NH Boat Museum is still housed in its location on Center Street, and you can see how great it will be when they move into their new spot in a couple of years - hopefully. Be sure you watch the historic video before going through the museum itself so you get a better sense for the things that you'll see. This isn't a big museum, and if you don't appreciate the historical significance of these boats and life in the Lakes Region, then you probably won't enjoy the 5 minutes that you'll spend walking through the exhibit. My wife and I savored each boat and read all of the documentation, and really enjoyed it.

Walking in feels like accidentally time-traveling into a casino that lost a fight with an arcade…read more Low ceilings? Check. Old carpeting? Absolutely. Dim lighting? You bet--literally. I don't know how to describe it except to say: it's a casino. Plot twist: it's not two levels. It's three. Like a casino lasagna. Every floor is more machines, more blinking lights, and more moments of "wait... where am I?" Yes, you use coins--as it should be. None of this "unlimited play" nonsense. You put in $20, get a pile of coins, and suddenly every game feels meaningful. Even the 80s games cost coins, which honestly just adds to the thrill. Did I expect nostalgia to be free? No. And I respect that. Prize strategy tip: if you want to win big, slot machines are your friends. This place knows what it's doing. Skill, luck, commitment. A journey. We came searching for a game called something like Dragon King? King Dragon? Royal Lizard? Not sure. We never found it. The casino consumed us first. Bonus points: there's free pizza during breaks, which I only discovered because I accidentally started applying for a job there. Competitive wages, paid breaks, flexible schedules. Suddenly the casino is offering real benefits. Final verdict: chaotic, nostalgic, coin-fueled joy. Five stars. No notes. Would I go back? Yes. I think the casino chose me.

Funspot is an absolute blast. So many games and so many memories packed into one place. They've got…read moreeverything--from old consoles and classic arcade games to new stuff that keeps it fresh. Super easy to get tokens too ($20 gets you 110, which lasts a while since old-school games are just 1 token and newer ones run 2-4). I had a great time on Burgertime and pinball--though I wish they had the Addams Family, Millionaire was still a fun one. Beyond the arcade, they've got indoor mini golf, bowling, and even a tavern, so there's something for everyone, kids and adults alike. This place is fantastic and I'll definitely be back. Pro tip: make sure to head across the street to 603 Sweets after--perfect way to end the day.

This museum is absolutely 100% worth a visit it's lovely! Super clean and thoughtfully curated and…read morelaid out with a ton of information, history and nostalgia. Also a great assortment of items for kids to touch and try.

There were a couple of reasons that we decided to check out this museum:…read more1) We both had educational and professional backgrounds involving telecommunications. 2) It was a convenient mid-way stopping point before lunch on our drive back to Boston from Vermont. The museum is in a converted house and covers the (probably expanded) main floor. The ladies who staffed the place and sold us the tickets were friendly and gave us a quick overview before starting a short orientation video. After that finished, we wandered around at our own pace. The museum was put together by some locals who had careers in telephony. Thus they had an inside track for getting obsolete equipment that was being replaced donated instead of destroyed. And once they had a core of exhibits, it was probably easier to get other items donated. The exhibits are arranged roughly chronologically. It begins with Alexander Graham Bell and moves forward. There are many old phone sets, from the wall mounted wooden variety up through a shelf of 2000s-era cell phones. They also have a number of switchboard desks showing how manual connections worked. Though most of the items displayed are phones, they also have minor side-exhibits on telephone linemen, historical oddities (what town had the last manual switchboard into the 1980s), etc. This may be somewhat of a niche museum, but I think most elementary school kids might enjoy it. If you are an adult with a general technical / engineering bent, you will also probably enjoy a stop here.
