North Conway Outlet Mall: North Conway, NH is home to hundreds of outlet stores in the Settler's Green Outlet Village. We spent an afternoon shopping the stores of the outlet since we gave up hiking due to the black flies. Among other purchases we were able to find some real deals at the Brookstone Outlet. Example: leather iPad cover that was regularly $59 I got for $5. Talk about a bargain! Also, did I mention New Hampshire has NO SALES TAX? This is a bargain hunter's dream!
More Information About Visiting North Conway, NH Village There are many more things to see and do in this area. I am certain a family could easily spend 4-5 days and not get bored in this area. However, our time was limited and our budget was tight so we had to forego some of the pricey "touristy" things such as paying $28+ to drive up Mount Washington - in your own car. Yeah you read that right $28 for a car with 2 adults, everyone extra you pay more for. Or how about the $68 per person charge to ride the cog railroad up Mount Washington? Neither of these options were something we were willing to pay those rates to do. There are other attractions similar in this area - choose wisely where you spend your money. You do want to have the money to vacation next year too right?
