Fifty thousand years ago, a continental glacier moved southward over New Hampshire covering mountains and valleys creating America’s most sensational glacial caves within the most beautiful of woodland settings. As the ice sheets thawed, great blocks of granite cracked and loosened from Hawk’s Cliff. These massive granite blocks fell at the base of the cliff forming Polar Caves Park in Plymouth, New Hampshire, an amazing series of natural caves and passages to walk through. Flat soled walking shoes should be worn and baby strollers will not fit through the caves but may be used elsewhere. Try the Polar Caves Park Mining expeditions to scavenge and reveal stunning fossils and minerals just like real miners. All year around Polar Caves is home to a wide variety of birds and animals: Fallow Deer, Pheasants, Peacocks, Swans, and a wide variety of ducks. Bring your favorite BBQ food, music, a frisbee, and plenty of family friends for a picnic lunch in the pine tree forest. Polar Caves is open 7 days a week from May 9, 2009 until late October from 9am-5pm. The rates for the 2009 season are as follows: ages 10+ are $14, ages 4-9 are $10, and kids under age 4 are free! Nearly 20 minutes east past I-93 on the beautiful shore of Squam Lake is the Manor on Golden Pond awaiting to be your perfect accommodation for this day of fun.
