Awesome little chapel that is decorated with cenotaphs (gravestones that are memorials when there is no body). Its rather morbid, but interesting, to see the different ways that people have died on the oceans.
The people running the Bethel are really nice and more than happy to talk to you about it. The woman there offered to take our picture, which was very nice.
They were having a wedding there later in the day, so you might want to call ahead and see if they are open if you are really excited about seeing Melville's pew and the prow shaped pulpit.
Free, but leave a donation.

Free and clean bathrooms! Love it.
The volunteers at the front desk are also very helpful in telling you what is around the area and possible things to visit.
The gift shop has really cute shellfish dolls and Melville dolls. They also have some cool books about the Underground Railroad. Definitely stop by and get a map, poke around their exhibits, and stamp your NPS passport book! 2 stamps are located in the VC.

Such a cool museum. You are greeted, upon entrance, by four whale skeletons hanging from the ceiling and another one is in a different room. While this museum does make me sad in many ways, the talk about killing whales and the stupid uses people have put them to, it also fascinates me because I doubt I will ever be close to a live blue whale.
The artifacts in the museum are very interesting and varied and the mini ship is awesome because its always fun to wander around ships.
Did not stay for the movie, but it probably is helpful to orient yourself to the area. Loved the observation deck with the spyglasses...nice touch.
You might want to check for passes from your library or maybe AAA. It is $10 to get in, which isn't bad if it is just you but can get slightly pricey if you have a few people in your group.

Stopped by here randomly after having a craving for fried seafood. The sizes were alright, not as big as I thought they might be but the fish itself was very tasty. Light batter (one person in our group thought it was too light) and lots of french fries.
The outdoor seating was quite nice, especially on a late September day.
Totally love the three clawed lobster that is hanging on the wall.

Not only do I love the shows that WGBH has, they have a great building and a wonderful theater to watch programs in! And their Emmy awards are just out in the open. Love it!
I am at odds with the auto road. It provides stunning views, as I found out this weekend, of the various vistas and mountains of the area. It makes you appreciate the driver negotiating the road and your car's ability to not to completely die on the road itself.
However, it brings a lot of people to the summit that probably should not be there. At the summit, there is a museum, two gift shops, a cafeteria, and a weather observatory.
I probably will not do it again (it is fairly expensive and I got a free ride because of a special program I was doing) but it was an interesting experience to have especially on a day of ever changing weather.

I went here because it was pouring and it was right next to the hotel I was staying at. The waitstaff was entirely uninterested in seating me but eventually cleared off a table in one of the side rooms. And then I waited and waited for my waiter...he was quite polite and nice when he arrived, but it took a while. It took even longer for him to come back and tell me that they didn't have any cider and then deliver my replacement lemonade.
I ordered a burger since I wasn't sure I wanted to spend too much money on food that night and then waited for about 25 minutes to get it...I was very glad that I grabbed a newspaper to read (twice through). When it arrived it was large, but tasted funny...not sure if it was the spice they put on it or what but I did not have the heart to finish it. Luckily, dinner cost about 10 bucks so that was an upside of it.
Would not recommend. Go somewhere else in town...even McDonald's would be better.

While not the fanciest hotel in the world, Royalty Inn is a good place to stay for a trip to NH. The room that I was in was very large and clean...the bathroom was huge. The doors all seemed to be large enough for a wheelchair to fit through and the toilet and tub were equipped with lots of handrails. There is also a microwave and mini-fridge in each room, which is really nice if you don't want to eat out. Finally, they have a few arcade games that cost about 50 cents each.
There is a pool across the parking lot with three lanes to do laps in (70 equals a mile) and an area for people to splash around in and a hot tub. It wasn't too hot, but comfortable. Admission is free with hotel reservations.
If you do not like having small children running around above you, though, ask for a room on the top floor. That way you don't have to deal with the noise. Also, the rooms are very dark between the lighting and the color of wallpaper.
Either way, it is a good place to stay in a good location.

Good location and not too expensive, which is quite nice in NYC. The hotel rooms were very large (much larger than the Holiday Inn Express on 29th) and well appointed. The bed was comfortable, the only problem I had with the room was that it was incredibly warm overnight.
The hotel staff that we interacted with were polite, if detached. Didn't get to visit the pool on the roof, but it looked nice in the photos. Breakfast was an OK event, nothing too spectacular or horrible. A solid place to stay where you can get a rate for under 200.

The servers were fast and friendly and lunch for the two of us cost 12.50.
They only take cash, so keep that in mind when you go. There is an atm across the street.
