Do you think the White Mountains of New Hampshire are just for winter fun? Think again. There are tons of things to do in the summertime and the Loon Mountain Adventure Center has a whole slew of great activities for you to do on your summer getaway! The best part is that you can customize your experience.
Want to do it all? The Super Adventure Pass is the way to go, which includes everything Loon has to offer. Check it out –
Only want to do certatin attractions? Check out the Loon Adventure Pass:
If you only have a few hours to spend, the Base Camp Pass or Bunyan’s Bouncin’ Backyard Pass might be perfect for you:
My family got a Super Adventure Pass and set out early to make sure we made the most of our day. Our first stop was Bunyan’s Bouncin’ Backyard, which is an area of inflatable games and bouncy houses.
We spent quite a while there before moving on to the LogJam Maze. At the beginning of the maze we were all given punch cards given some simple instructions. First of all, we were supposed to time-stamp our cards on the way in & the way out of the maze (which was completely optional) to see how long it took us to find our way out. Secondly, we and were told we needed to find the letters M-A-Z-E hidden within the maze. Once we found them, we needed to punch our cards with the corresponding letter.
We did it in about 10 minutes and it only took us as long as it did because we had to back track to find one of the letters.
By the time we were done with the maze, we noticed some clouds that had started to roll in, so we decided that it was probably a good time to take the Gondola Skyride up to the top of the mountain. We were afraid that it might rain later in the day & didn’t want to miss the experience because of the weather.
The Gondola Skyride at Loon is the longest scenic gondola in New Hampshire (the summit is 2,733 feet) and once you get to the top, there is a whole bunch of things to do up there. Aside from amazing views of the White Mountains, you can stroll along a short nature trail up there, explore the summit glacial caves (weather permitting), play on a playground or stop by the Summit Café for breakfast or lunch.
Up on the summit, we were also able to climb the observation tower to get an even better view of the mountains.
We did check out the glacial caves before we caught the gondola ride back down to the base of the mountain, but I am going to tell you more about that tomorrow.
I have been to Loon Mountain many times and had no idea that all of that stuff was up on the top of the mountain. It was probably our favorite part of the day to be honest – with the exception of the gondola coming to a screeching halt about half way through our descent down the mountain. The ride stopped abruptly for a good four or five minutes and let’s just say that 3 out of the 4 of us in the gondola thought we were going to plummet to our death (or at least a few broken bones) and were in tears.
Anyways, once were were safely back on the ground, we decided to to go check out the Climbing Wall. I was in flip flops, so I couldn’t participate, but my nine year old and Chris were able to harness up and scale the area’s largest outdoor climbing wall.
FYI – climbers must weigh between 40 lbs. and 250 lbs.
Next up was the Bungee Trampoline, which was high up on the list of the kids favorite things for the day:
Afterwards, we spent a little more time at Bunyan’s Bouncin’ Backyard before the rain started and we ended up having to call it a day. We spent hours and hours doing all of those Adventure Center activities and had a blast.

Loon Mountain is located at 60 Loon Mountain Rd. in Lincoln, NH. Check out the hours of operation here.
We had such a good time at the Adventure Center. Seriously, we spent almost the entire day doing the various activities and the kids were totally blown out by bedtime that night (yay)! I am looking forward to getting back up there again next summer to do it all again.
I love it at loon they keep adding stuff to do every year always improving. My favorite thing this year was the new maze. My boys loved running through it and we had races for the fastest time.
I had no idea there was so much to do up there now. We have skied up there before, but it sounds like it’s worth checking out in the summer, too.
Loon Mountain… *snicker*… sometimes I think that’s where I belong 🙂 Your boys look like they had a fabulous, active time. I could really get into some of those activities!
I bet you all had a lovely time.Looks like there is plenty to keep you busy all day.
Looked like a ton of fun and will have to keep this in mind if we vacation up in your parts someday soon 🙂
The bungee trampolines are fun. Sorry the gondola stopped on the mountain, I bet that would be scary. 🙁
The wall is huge!! Awesome that your husband and son climbed it. 🙂
Wow! There’s a lot of stuff to do there!
This has got to be one of the most exciting places you have shared. So much to do. Money well spent IMO.
I love seeing all your photos on Instagram. I don’t get to come to your blog often to comment on your posts but I love still being able to catch up with you there!
Hugs mama.
Looks like you all had a blast {As usual!}

I agree! Her Instagram photos are awesome!
Looks like a great adventure. I would like to ride that Skyride. Looks so fun.
The Skyride looks great. I’m sure the view of Loon Mountain is great from up there.
That looks like so much fun! What a great place to spend time with your kids.
That looks like such a unique park – they offer a little bit of everything. My son would love that huge inflatable!
oh what fun! I would love to try the rock climbing, it is something I have always wanted to do.
My kids go nuts for rock walls. They would spend the entire day climbing if you let them.
That looks like an awesome day! And what a great park! I wish we had something closer to us like that, Mitch
It looks like a fun adventurous place to go! The maze looks cool to me!
This place looks so awesome; wish it were closer to here!! I’d love that zipline and climbing wall, and my kids would love it all, I’m sure!
Loon Mountain is beautiful! The attractions look fun, but honestly, I think I’d spend most of my time in that glorious wilderness.
Wow, they have so much to do there! I’d definitely get the pass, there’s plenty I’d want to take in, especially the gondola!
What an awesome place for families to visit. I’m sure my boys would have a blast.
I love places like this.. Places that keep kids so busy that they sleep like baby’s at night!
wow. just wow. gosh, we are soooo boring around here. I can’t think of anything that is like this near where we live. it would be great to take the kids to something like this. that’s the downside to living more country than city: everything is a long drive away.
I love that they have various levels of passes in case you can’t (or don’t want to) get to everything in one visit. I once did a wall/rock climbing class in high school. I doubt I could haul myself up a wall now.
Looks like fun. I dont live close but will have to go if I’ve ever in the area.
That place looks amazing! The view of the mountains is breathtaking.
This looks like a great place for the kids to burn off some energy. The views aren’t too bad either. My family loves zip lining ….me, not so much.
Oh my goodness, I want to go now! What a fun place with activities for everyone… how cool. Thanks for sharing!
I love those mountains. It’s very flat where I live. That place looks amazing. It’s a place I’ll have to take my adventure loving family.
Looks like such a fun day! I love the Gondola ride and the bungee trampoline. Thanks for sharing your photos!
This place looks like so much fun! I have never been on a Skyride before, but I would sure love to try it at some point, especially if it takes me somewhere with an amazing view like that above.
What a neat place! The views are spectacular. It looks like you had a great time.
My boys would be in HEAVEN! I’d love the zipline!
What fun, this looks like something my boys would love! I like that there are so many different activities so my boys wouldn’t get bored 🙂
That looks like a blast! I wish we had something like this near us!
I have such a vague memory of going there once in the summer with my family. We were not skiers and wouldn’t have been there In winter, but I think we went in a ski lift, with beautiful summer weather surrounding us. Unless it was a dream…..
That looks like my kind of place. I love active fun!
I have never heard of loon mountain before. Looks like something that my kids would love. The trampoline might get my heart racing, though.
My hubby loves to ride the Sky Rides … me not so much! I love Ziplining – him not so much! We would really have fun at Loon Mountain.
I am with you… I am not for the sky rides, but Hubby would be!
How fun! Looks like they have awesome activities for the whole family! I’d love to try that zipline and rock wall!
Looks like a lot of fun. You name it you can pretty much do it there! However, I couldn’t do the bungee, I’d have to pass on that one!
This sounds like such a fun place to visit, I know my kids would love it and have a blast; thanks for sharing
The Loon Mountain Adventure Center looks like a lot of fun. My grandkids would love it there.
Oh what fun! My kiddos would love this, and such a fun activity for the whole family to do!
This is too advanced for us… but I know my nephews would LOVE to go! Looks like you guys had a great time!
Sounds like a great place to go and so much to do. I would definitely do the zip line!
Oh my how fun. that rock climbing looks awesome. Take me with you next time.
There is so much to do at Loon Mountain! I love how close NH is too!
That looks like a lot of fun! It must have been nice to have them fall asleep super fast! I couldn’t take my son-in-law to the top of the mountain though, he is terrified of gondolas and ski lifts!
This place has so many fun activities that it is sure to keep the whole family entertained for a few days. I love the smiles on your boys’ faces.
I so want to go zip lining. They just opened a zip line in Kansas City. Just haven’t tried it out yet.
the park for the active kids…perfect for summer! I love all the choices they have…
That looks like soo much fun! Glad you enjoyed!
I’m sure you guys slept well that night being so active and having all that fun I wouldn’t know what I’d like to do first. Love the pictures you shared
My daughter was oohing and aaahing at your pictures. OMG How much does that look. I need to step up my vacation game while I still have time.
looks like a fun time – glad they had loads of fun!
We went to Cannon Mountain gondola and when my kids were little and they were too scared to go on it lol
My girls would have a blast at Loon Mountain! Allison would just die to go on the rock wall. That is her favorite thing to do at our community center and she is quite good at it too!
That looks like soo much fun! I’m glad you all had a blast. That climbing looks a little high for me… lol.
Lots of fun things to do at Loon Mountain! I would love to check out the zip line, glacial caves and the bungee trampoline. Sounds like a blast!
Really fun day for you guys. I’ve never been on a gondola before!!! Wall climbing and bungee trampoline all sounds so much fun! I know If I went there I’d want to try them all!
Oh my gosh! There’s A LOT to do here! So much fun! I’m totally jealous!
This place look like SUPER FUN for my kids! They would go nuts at a place like this, It even looks fun for me!
Perfect place to burn off energy! Love how many different activities are available to avoid the “mommy I am boared” syndrome. Love the smiles in your photos!
I am not a big fan of heights except when it comes to ziplining. love it. Looks like you had an awesome time
That maze looks so fun! We used to have something similar but it closed down years ago. These are really reasonable prices when you consider what activities are offered and I love that there are different packages to choose from. The view from the tower is gorgeous!
You’ve been going on some great adventures girl! Looks like you all had a great time!
Wow! There is so much to do there! Looks like so much fun. You’ve really had some fun adventures here lately.
It looks like you all had a wonderful time at Loon Mountain! I love that there are so many different things to do.
That looks like a ton of fun!!!! I would love to visit Loon Mountain, and it looks like all of you had a blast!
This looks like so much fun! The prices seem very reasonable too. My kids are still a bit young for this, but I need to remember this for when they get older
That place looks like so much fun!! Lots to do there.
Oh this place looks amazing! We did a maze like that in PA at a mini golf place, even had the time stamp and we had to punch out Maze. We had a blast doing that and I saw the one you did and I just know they would love it again. I need to see if we can take a trip up to Loon Mountain. They would have a blast. (me too lol)
The log jam maze and the climbing wall would keep my son busy for days! Looks like the pass is the way to go with that place! I wish I was local.
This looks like such a fun place to visit. Sounds like you had a great time. I wish we lived closer so we could visit.
See, why don’t we have awesome places like this around here? I’m about to move back to MA….
What a great place to take the family. They have tons of activities. I would love to visit there.
Wow, I can’t believe there is so much to do! I would love the cave and the zip lining! You guys did a LOT! What a blast!
That is perfect for my family, we are active and enjoy places where we can visit and have fun while being active. I love the views you had – absolutely beautiful.
Wow!! Who knew there was so much to do at Loon Mountain! My boys would love the rock climbing and the bungee trampoline looks like a blast too!
Wow, looks like you could spend days there! So much to do – so much fun!
that name is intriguing. Looks like it could be a vacation week destination with all the things to do
everything looks fun!I bet the kids didn’t want to leave. I like the maze the best
What a perfect day in the mountains! We love hitting the mountains of North Georgia and the Carolinas during the summer as well. The beach is fun and a must do…but for us there is just as much fun to be found in the mountains.
Your family has such fun adventures! My girls would love that place.
Loon Mountain sounds like an awesome place to visit with the whole family!I love the shots of your view from the Gondola Skyride!
I think I’d be a little scared to do the Gondola ride. Everything else at Loon Mt. looks great!
That looks crazy fun! I’m all for anything active that you can do together as a family. I really want to do a maze like that too.
That looks like such a blast. I’d love to do the maze and the bungee trampoline. The gondola sounds cool but I’m afraid of heights :/
It all looks amazing. We have a climbing wall here that I really want to take the boys to.
This place looks great it looks a lot like our boathouse district. These places are always so much fun.
Wow, what a fantastic day for your family! There’s so much to do!
I have not heard of this place but it looks like a lot of fun.
That seems like a great time especially for kids your age. You seem to have the best places to vacation or be entertained up in you neck of the woods.
This really looks like lots of fun! Very nice!
That’s great that they have different pass options. So many fun things to do!
forget the kids at home, this looks like a place I could have a bunch of fun together.
Looks like fun for kids of all ages. Wish we lived closer!
Even the name makes me want to go – what an exciting looking place! x
That looks like a blast. Would love to do the trampoline!
This place looks amazing. I love adventure and nature combined. You look great, too – love your long hair and big smile!
The trampoline things look so fun! I would love to go on one myself!
I would love the maze with my boys. That looked like so much fun.
They have a lot of activities available. My boys would just have a blast here.
It looks like you guys really enjoyed yourselves! My kids love bungee trampolines.
If we are ever in New Hampshire, this is one of the places I would love to visit with my kids. I like they fact that they offer different activities and the prices are reasonable too.
You and your boys have been going on so many awesome adventures! Looks like you had a blast! So fun!
It’s crazy how many things they have going on there, but it makes it so worth going to and spending the money! What a great destination!
looks like a great place! I would love to do with my ids the climbing wall and the bungee trampoline.
I had never heard of this but it looks like great fun. I have visited New Hampshire twice before maybe we will check this out the next time we visit. Thanks for sharing.
This place looks amazing! There is so much to do there.
I’d love to go ziplining! It sounds so fun!
This sounds more more enjoyable than an amusement park!
Wow that is such an awesome time. I agree better then most amusement parks!
I have never been to Loon in the summertime. This looks like a lot of fun! So glad you had a good time. I love skiing there, so I’m sure they do it up right in the summer too!
I would love to go there sometime. They offer so much to do!!
This looks like a really great place for a summer adventure! My family would love this!
