My young nephews always enjoyed a visit to Klickety-Klack Railroad in Wolfeboro on Rt. 109A. There is a large layout of model trains with all the scenery. The kids can run the controls. If you are headed to Wolfeboro for any other sites such as the Libby Museum, this may be another stop that kids would like. They have a website.

Might want to call Klickety-Klack RR first as there's a going out of business ad in local paper the wife picked up today. (If you'll be around soon and have an interest in model railroading they're having a 30% off sale!)

Don't forget the lake.
![]() We just had a 4 year old and a 18 month old visiting for a few days. If you have access to a boat, the 4 year old may enjoy slow tubing (with mom or dad), "driving" the boat (on captain's knee), or learning to cast and catch fish both from boat/dock/shore. The 18 month old enjoyed watching all of the above. Not sure if anyone mentioned it, but there is a family circus setup at Faro's at the Weirs - have not been, but it may be entertaining for the young ones.

i'd highly recommend santa's village. we just took our kids there 2 weeks ago, they absolutely love it there. we do the rides and the main park until about 3 or 4, and then let them go at it in the water park. that's their favorite part. $31 a head, under 3 is free. oh, and get some of the mini donuts... they're fantastic

Santa's Village reminds me of Storyland in Glen.
All across America there were hundreds of places that sprang up in the 40s and 50s to take advantage of people traveling by car. Tiny amusement parks, odd buildings and quirky little museums. PBS has had a couple of good documentaries about them over the years. http://www.wqed.org/tv/sebak/amusement/index.php http://www.wqed.org/tv/sebak/unusual/index.php Most of them disappeared when the interstate highways took over but in New England there are a fair amount of them still left and thriving after all these years. Santa's Village, Storyland and Clark's are some great examples of time gone by. Many, many years ago Storyland employees used to go through the parking lot and put little signs on all the car bumpers with a wire twist. It was a amazing how many cars you would see driving all over the state with those things on, until they blew off eventually. |
