New! Climbing Wall—This 25-foot wall allows up to four climbers at a time test out their strength while safely harnessed to automatic belay devices. Special holds shaped as sea creatures make climbing fun for even the little ones. Tickets are $9 (all ages).

Scenic Lift Rides—Surround yourself with views of the Mahoosuc Mountains on New England’s only Chondola lift, or book a reservation for one of the resort’s Full Moon Dinners where a roundtrip lift ride is included. Roundtrip tickets are $12 (ages 13 and older), $8 (ages 6 through 12), and free for kids ages 5 and younger.

Twin Zips—Fill your “need for speed” on Sunday River’s 750-foot Twin Zips. Parallel lines allow you to race your friends and family to the base of South Ridge. Tickets are $15 (all ages) for two zips.

Zipline Tours—This all thrills, no skills activity takes participants through a wooded area boasting a bubbling brook, waterfall, and a deep ravine.

Disc Golf—Bring your discs or rent from Sunday River and try to net a “hole-in-one” while traipsing across the resort’s grass-covered, beginner nine-hole course. Experience isn’t necessary and great views come standard with each hole. Course access is $5 (all ages) or $10 with disc rentals.

Geocache Adventure—Test your technological expertise while exercising your legs! Eleven hidden caches complete with prizes make the challenge fun for all ages. Geocaching can be done using simple smart phone apps or GPS devices available for rent for $15.
