Vacations
This New Hampshire Resort Is Geared Toward Family Vacations
Taking kids on vacation can be a challenge. The trip to and from your destination can be a trial in itself, and once you get to where you're going, how are you going to keep your kids occupied at the motel?
Indian Head Resort in Lincoln, New Hampshire, goes way beyond pool access. They've got an entire program designed for kids, with special programmed activities and kids' shows; in addition, kids can enjoy using the facilities with their parents which include heated pools indoors and out, a game room, seasonal nature trails, and time on the tennis courts. The resort also has a private lake where skating, fishing, and paddleboating are available to entertain participants.
Want to explore the area with your kids? Santa's Village, Six Gun City (a park with a western theme), Clark's Trading Post, and Whale's Tale Waterpark are just a few attractions within an easy drive of Indian Head Resort. In the winter, the entire family can take part in all sorts of sports and other activities, including alpine and cross-country skiing, snowboarding, ice skating, and snowmobiling. In the summer, horseback riding and mountain bike trails are popular attraction at nearby Cannon and Loon mountains.
Menus Designed for Kids
Kids can be picky eaters, and can be very insistent on having access to their own favorite foods. Aware of the importance kids put on food, the resort has developed a special kids' menu, with child-sized portions and standard kids' fare like cheeseburgers, hot dogs, pizza, and, of course, peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. (The resort does manage to slip in some salads and other veggies!) That way the grown-ups can enjoy selections from their own, more sophisticated menu, while the kids can chow down on their own more simple fare. The resort also offers a simplified breakfast menu for kids.
In Business Since 1917
Indian Head Resort began operation as a campground back in 1917; over a period of time the owners added some cottages, and then expanded to where now they offer a hundred spacious rooms (some with whirlpool baths), TV with HBO access, saunas, an exercise room, and spectacular views from every window. Located in the White Mountains, one of the most dramatically beautiful regions of New Hampshire, it can provide a relaxing retreat or a base camp for active exploration of the surrounding area. The Kids Deal program is seasonal, running from late June through August each year, and offers special family rates.
