This is a very scenic drive. The highest point in the east. The drive up is almost freaky as the road is quite narrow. Be sure to bring a warm wind breaker when you go up as the temperature drops quite a bit and the wind is quite awesome.

We've been going to N Conway for many years and had always driven by this place, but never stopped. We finally stopped this year, and are glad we did! The kids enjoyed it. We spent about 1.5 hours there, which was perfect. The museum is free, but we left a donation in the donation box. I would definitely go back again.

Evert time we have friends & family in from out of town this is one of out MUST SEE stops. From young & old all have enjoyed their stops here. As a trivia buff I love the display of the extreme weather sites around the world.

Great amount of weather related knowledge in entertaining and educational presentations. Something for everyone and all ages. Spend about 30 minutes here and you pretty much covered everything.The worst weather is on Washington? Nope, think not. Get your facts straight. Great marketing ploy though!

This is a MUST for your North Conway vacation. The ride up is breath taking and NOT for the faint of heart. The road corkscrews up the mountain and you are often literally inches from the edge. Another thing to be prepared for: Ladies - in the summer they check your car in and ask for everyones weight if they are concerned that you are "overpacked". My sister almost had a heart attack right there in the parking lot! She slipped the warden her weight on a piece of paper!! Hysterical! He did rearrange our cars and who was in which - they take this seriously!View at top is breath taking! Be advised that even in summer it can be COLD at the top! Bring layers or better yet, climb down instead of driving via Tuckermans ravine. Be in shape!Just started snowcat tours in winter - on my "to do" list!

I have ventured up the auto road a few times in my life. Once younger, then mid way and now just a little older. Evertime it is completely different. I would think you could go up every day and be as just as wonderful as the day before. It is just breathtaking! I have spent a good part of my life in this area camping and hiking. It has lots to do with the skills that has got me thru life. Take the xbox away go to the local walmart grab a tent and supplies and spend a few nights in the woods It will do you all lots of good.

Sunny day or rainy day this is a great stop in the Mt. Washington Valley. Great for kids and adults too.

If you have a penchant for meteorology or just interested in experiencing some cool science stuff in a fantastic environment, this is the place for you. You can chose between a day trip to the observatory or an over-night stay. Either way, you'll assemble near the base of the Mt. Washington Auto Road where you'll be met by an observatory staff member. I went in the winter. So, from there we got into one of their "snow cats" and were driven up to the observatory. They will make a couple of stops along the way so you can briefly get out at scenic locations, which are great! Once at the top, you'll disembark and be taken into the observatory. Since it was winter, the concessions were closed down. We went directly into the observatory and met the scientists. They gave a great synopsis of what their job is and described the equipment and methods they employ. We were than treated to lunch prepared by volunteers who assist at the observatory. After which, we were taken out onto the observation platform. The temperature was around zero and the wind was howling. But it was exhilarating and the view is spectacular! The day ends with a ride back down in the snow cat. This is a great experience that any fan of the White Mountains should not miss.

Both adults and kids loved the experience of the hurricane force winds produced by a winter storm. There are great interactive exhibits and we all learned a lot. The kids really took to the air cannon and how it can displace objects by air being channeled. Great selection in the gift shop of weather related items and books. Since in the winter you cannot get to the MW Obs, this is the next best thing. We'll come again AND go up in the summer. Great educational and fun experience.
