AMC’s Highland Center at Crawford Notch was built from the ground up with families in mind, offering private rooms with private baths, plenty of meal choices, free walk-on family programs, and free loaner gear from the L.L.Bean Gear Room.
A natural “big mountain” playscape offers energetic young explorers the chance to explore a White Mountain-inspired setting right on the Highland lawn! Kids will have the chance to burn some energy on the playscape while parents get ready for a day on the trail or relax after a rewarding hike.
And back by popular demand, family meal options including BBQ and ice cream socials, and optional Kids' Club activities before and after dinner, give parents a chance to unwind and socialize with other adults.
