Calling all Thrill Seeking, High-Flying Kids

WIN A FIELD TRIP FOR YOUR CLASS!

Monkey Trunks, New England's largest high ropes and zipline park, is opening a new location at Funspot in Weirs Beach on May 21st the Saturday before Memorial Day Weekend 2011. The monkey call is going out to the children of the area to help make the grand opening a swinging success! Even with all the excitement of the grand opening, our monkey mascot is still a bit sad. Seems with all the planning and preparation we forgot to give the monkey a name.  We also have one last challenge to design for our giant Discovery Course structure and we really need your help. Enter our contest today and win a field trip for your entire class or a pass to bring 12 of your best friends to Monkey Trunks along with some other really awesome prizes. Read more...

Ski-cation? Yes! Bring those non-skiers along.

They too will have the time of their lives!

Is the gang headed out for another incredible ski-cation in New Hampshire's Lakes Region and your feeling left out? No doubt, Central New Hampshire does have awesome terrain with equally stunning views less than 2 hours from Boston but that's not all.

In the winter, the lakes take on an entirely new persona with activities for all from outdoor recreation to performances to family attractions & events to tax-free shopping to historical museums. Find links to everything fun on www.LakesRegion.org.

The great thing about family ski areas is that they cater to everyone with a variety of interests. Not only will you find premium skiing and riding, you will also find activities such as tubing, ice skating, snow shoeing, cross country skiing, ice skating and horse drawn sleigh rides. The Lakes Region also has several indoor ice arenas where families can enjoy a quiet skate or join in a hockey game. Read more...
