Planning a family reunion, girls or guys getaway or club get-together? Your group is going to love coming to New Hampshire in the spring. Inside or outside, spring is a great time for a reunion or group getaway in New Hampshire.
Your clan can gather and stay at a bed and breakfast in a country setting, or rent a beachfront property. Accompany the little ones at a petting zoo or on a nature hike, while the 'tweens and teens visit shopping malls or arcades at Hampton Beach. The whole family will love visiting a maple sugar or pancake house and watching the process of tapping the trees for sap to boiling down into maple syrup. Kids of all ages love Kellerhaus, New Hampshire's oldest candy and ice cream maker, in Weirs Beach, which offers a make-it-yourself waffle bar, a giant gift shop, tons of homemade candy, and many different flavors of ice cream made right on the premises. A scenic drive in the spring is a must-do, and nature lovers will appreciate the many different species of birds and wildlife that make the Granite State their home, including moose, bears, and bald eagles. The entire clan can meet for dinner at the end of the day at one of New Hampshire's own restaurants, or cook and serve your own family meal over a barbecue or bonfire at one of the New Hampshire's private vacation rentals.
