Fishpipe Water Slide (Nashua)

Fishpipe Water Slide (Nashua)

June 1, 2014 by AboutTownLocal Leave a Comment

Indoor "water slide"... except it's infinite because you're in a big plastic bubble that rotates (up to 45rpm) so though you're sitting at the bottom of it (or running if you want), you can play and maneuver to your heart's content, or just sit and enjoy the ride. Ages 4 and up, you can do it … [Read more...]

Verizon Wireless Arena (Manchester)

May 16, 2014 by AboutTownLocal Leave a Comment

Excellent venue for sports events (about 10,000 seats).  Acoustics are not known to be as good as some for concerts.  There's parking across the street, however street parking is also possible if you get there a tad early.  Our tip for after-event exit path to highway is to forget the Granite Street … [Read more...]

Palace Theater (Manchester)

May 16, 2014 by AboutTownLocal Leave a Comment

Can't rave enough about its old world charm which has been preserved from its beginning in 1915.  Performances here are a treat because it's big enough to feel like you're going to the theater but small enough to enjoy performances from wherever you're seated (880 seats).  They have their own … [Read more...]
