We have a wedding in NH next month, so this helps! We want to check out the surrounding states, see a ballgame at Fenway, some beach time, a few local breweries, Cabot Creamery, and Mt. Washington. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cool-things-to-see-with-a-toddler-in-new-england#post-2235531 Mon, 13 Jul 2015 19:57:19 +0000 Mrs. Lion 2235531@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrswonderwoman: I will check into that! It sounds like fun :) Thanks! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cool-things-to-see-with-a-toddler-in-new-england#post-2234575 Mon, 13 Jul 2015 07:53:16 +0000 Mrswonderwoman 2234575@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm probably way too late to this, but I lived in New England for 7 years, and there is SO much to see and do! One cool thing to do if it's not too far away is to go to the Butterfly Museum in Deerfield, MA. It's right off the interstate, and depending on your route from NH/VT may be a fun pit stop :) I went with my niece and nephew when they were pre-school/elementary age and they LOVED it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cool-things-to-see-with-a-toddler-in-new-england#post-2198697 Thu, 04 Jun 2015 09:12:47 +0000 bushelandapeck 2198697@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Lion: awesome!! It's so pretty there. :) In Bar Harbor, you should definitely check out Acadia and the small down town area. Both are amazing! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cool-things-to-see-with-a-toddler-in-new-england#post-2198685 Thu, 04 Jun 2015 09:07:00 +0000 ineebee 2198685@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>You're hitting all my favorite cities! </p> <p>In Providence, there is an amazing farmers market that's a LOT of fun. Wednesdays &amp; Saturdays through the summer with entertainment and food trucks.</p> <p><a href="http://www.hopestreetmarket.com/" rel="nofollow">http://www.hopestreetmarket.com/</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cool-things-to-see-with-a-toddler-in-new-england#post-2198609 Thu, 04 Jun 2015 08:39:17 +0000 Mrs. Lion 2198609@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@rachiecakes: Fun! We are going to be driving from Ocean City MD that day, so we are hoping he will sleep in the car and be okay staying up late that night :) The stroller is a great idea though. We might go ahead and bring the double instead of just an umbrella stroller...that will be much more comfortable. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cool-things-to-see-with-a-toddler-in-new-england#post-2198599 Thu, 04 Jun 2015 08:34:02 +0000 rachiecakes 2198599@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Lion: it's fun! they have lots of music and street performers. LO loves the kettle corn. :)<br /> It's at night, so I bring the stroller in case he gets tired and wants to lie down while we stroll. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cool-things-to-see-with-a-toddler-in-new-england#post-2198591 Thu, 04 Jun 2015 08:29:04 +0000 Mrs. Lion 2198591@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mediagirl: ooh that's awesome! We just went to Cape lookout memorial day weekend and I was sad we didn't get to see the shackleford ponies up close! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cool-things-to-see-with-a-toddler-in-new-england#post-2198560 Thu, 04 Jun 2015 08:13:24 +0000 mediagirl 2198560@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Lion: if you're going to be in OC, you'll be close to Assateague where you can see the wild ponies, too! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cool-things-to-see-with-a-toddler-in-new-england#post-2198557 Thu, 04 Jun 2015 08:11:05 +0000 Mrs. Lion 2198557@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mediagirl: @hotchildinthecity: @Mamaof2: @catlady: thanks!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cool-things-to-see-with-a-toddler-in-new-england#post-2198552 Thu, 04 Jun 2015 08:10:32 +0000 Mrs. Lion 2198552@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@bushelandapeck: my cousin is getting married at Newfound Lake, and that's actually what inspired the trip! Neither uf us have been to any of the places I listed so we are excited to do some exploring! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cool-things-to-see-with-a-toddler-in-new-england#post-2198533 Thu, 04 Jun 2015 08:03:01 +0000 catlady 2198533@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If you have time in Boston, I've heard good things about the duck boat tour (we haven't tried yet since LO is only 20 months but an older toddler might enjoy it). </p> <p>We go to the Boston Museum of Science and the New England Aquarium all the time and we love both. It's good to go early in the day because they are popular and get crowded. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cool-things-to-see-with-a-toddler-in-new-england#post-2198512 Thu, 04 Jun 2015 07:45:16 +0000 Mamaof2 2198512@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mediagirl: ah memories - Thrashers Boardwalk fries with vinegar :heart: </p> <p>Please Touch Museum is a cool place too if your in Philly area - my kids love it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cool-things-to-see-with-a-toddler-in-new-england#post-2198446 Thu, 04 Jun 2015 06:13:28 +0000 bushelandapeck 2198446@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So fun! My family is actually from the Bridgewater, NH area! Newfound Lake is beautiful (I may be biased) as is the nearby town of Meredith. There are some quaint bookstores and scenic boat rides if you are interested in that sort of thing. There is also Wellington State Park where you could swim, hike a bit, have a picnic, etc. Have fun! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cool-things-to-see-with-a-toddler-in-new-england#post-2198412 Thu, 04 Jun 2015 05:05:30 +0000 hotchildinthecity 2198412@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@HappyBaker: agree! Please Touch was the first children's museum we took J to and now we are totally spoiled!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cool-things-to-see-with-a-toddler-in-new-england#post-2198410 Thu, 04 Jun 2015 05:00:23 +0000 mediagirl 2198410@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Fuuuun!!! I went to college near ocean city. The boardwalk is a lot of fun just to walk down. Make sure you get thrashers Boardwalk fries and eat them with vinegar. :grin: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cool-things-to-see-with-a-toddler-in-new-england#post-2198310 Wed, 03 Jun 2015 20:38:16 +0000 Mrs. Lion 2198310@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@rachiecakes: the waterfire stuff is what made my husband want to go there. Is there a lot to do?</p> <p>@HappyBaker: that sounds fun! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cool-things-to-see-with-a-toddler-in-new-england#post-2198307 Wed, 03 Jun 2015 20:34:14 +0000 rachiecakes 2198307@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If you're just stopping on your way through the Boston Common/Public Gardens are fun to visit with the Make Way For Ducklings and swan boats.</p> <p>Providence has a WaterFire event nights through the summer. <a href="http://waterfire.org/schedule/2015-waterfire-providence-event-schedule/" rel="nofollow">http://waterfire.org/schedule/2015-waterfire-providence-event-schedule/</a><br /> Live music, fun food and it's really pretty to see. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cool-things-to-see-with-a-toddler-in-new-england#post-2198299 Wed, 03 Jun 2015 20:23:55 +0000 HappyBaker 2198299@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If you have a day to spend in Philadelphia, the children's museum there is amazing. We live near Boston and have been to the Boston and Rochester NY museums but Philly's blows both of them out of the water! You could easily spend a full day there too, it's called the Please Touch Museum. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cool-things-to-see-with-a-toddler-in-new-england#post-2198294 Wed, 03 Jun 2015 20:12:00 +0000 Mrs. Lion 2198294@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This summer we are doing a long road trip from nc up through ocean city md, then providence ri, them boston, then bar harbor, then bridgewater nh, then to see family in upstate ny, then back to nc. Anybody have any can't miss things we should see or do in any of those locations, or in between as we pass through? </p>
