This City Offers The Best Attractions In NH 4.5 rating By Anonymous ( May 14, 2018) I’ve lived in Dover, NH my entire life. Also known as the Garrison City, we have over 30,000 residents living in our city making us the largest in New Hampshire’s Seacoast region. We offer some of the best attractions in the state of New Hampshire. One of my favorites growing ...Read More up and still to this day would have to be the Children’s Museum of New Hampshire. It offers something for all interests and all young ages. It allows children and young adults to explore, learn, and create beyond their wildest imaginations. It cultivates an area for new knowledge and making friends. If you were to ask me the best attraction it would by far have to be the children’s museum we are so lucky to have right here in our city.

Beyond the children’s museum, living in Dover offers people of all ages a great chance to work, meet new people, and explore some incredible attractions, including but not limited to, the Woodman Institute Museum, Tendercop Farm, Dover Bowl Family Fun Center, and more. There’s something for everyone. Read Less
