The Monadnock region is a great place for kids to explore and have fun! There are plenty of activities and destinations that cater specifically to children, providing them with a unique and exciting experience.
One popular destination for kids in the area is the Cheshire Children's Museum in Keene, where children can engage in hands-on, interactive exhibits that encourage exploration and learning. Another fun spot for kids is the Friendly Farm in Dublin, where they can visit with farm animals and participate in farm activities like milking cows and collecting eggs.
For outdoor adventures, there are several parks in the area that offer playgrounds, sports fields, and other activities just for kids. Robin Hood Park in Keene, for example, has a large playground and splash pad, as well as tennis and basketball courts.
If your child is a fan of trains, be sure to check out the Walpole Valley Train Depot in Walpole, where they can ride on a miniature train and explore the train station museum. The Peterborough Players Theatre also offers special performances and programs just for children, such as their annual family holiday show.
Whether your child loves animals, trains, theater, or just playing outdoors, the Monadnock region has plenty of options to keep them entertained and engaged. So why not plan a family trip to the region and let your kids discover all the fun things there are to do!
