On the heels of $6 million in capital investment last fall under new ownership, Cranmore has announced plans for their new Cranmore Mountain Adventure Park to open for summer operations starting Memorial Day Weekend, May 28, 2011. The Park will feature a new Aerial Adventure Park, with a ropes course, zip lines and air-bridges, as well as the Cranmore Mountain Coaster, which opened to great acclaim last November.
NORTH CONWAY, NH – On the heels of $6 million in capital investment last fall under new ownership, Cranmore has announced plans for their new Cranmore Mountain Adventure Park to open for summer operations starting Memorial Day Weekend, May 28, 2011. The Park will feature a new Aerial Adventure Park, with a ropes course, zip lines and air-bridges, as well as the Cranmore Mountain Coaster, which opened to great acclaim last November.
New Hampshire’s newest summer attraction, the Cranmore Mountain Adventure Park offers a variety of activities that are appropriate for all ages. Cranmore invested in excess of $800,000 for the Park, in addition to the $1.2 for construction of the Mountain Coaster, for a total of $2 million in improvements for the new operation.
Cranmore Mountain’s move into year-round operations is part of its revitalization started last June when the venerable resort was purchased by the primary owners of Jiminy Peak Resort in western Massachusetts. The Park will open for a weekend-only schedule starting Memorial Day weekend, then offer daily operations from June 18 – Labor Day. For fall, the Park will return to a weekend schedule.
With its location right in North Conway Village, NH, Cranmore Mountain Adventure Park is less than 1 mile off of Route 16 and close by to the popular resort town’s shops, outlets, restaurants and hotels. The Park will offer the most activities for families closest to the town center.
The Park offers a full day of outdoor fun, with economical all-inclusive ticket options starting as low as $29 for unlimited all day rides. Deep discounts are also available for groups of 20 people or more.
The Cranmore Mountain Adventure Park will feature:
Aerial Adventure Park - Guests climb up ramps and ladders and cross rope bridges. Courses available for different ages and ability levels, with multiple zip lines of up to 400 feet in length.
Child Ropes Course – A kid friendly version of the Aerial Adventure Park, this course is designed for children age 4 to 8.

“Cranmore has been known as North Conway’s premiere ski destination for almost 75 years,” stated Cranmore president Ben Wilcox, “Now with the opening of our new Mountain Adventure Park, Cranmore will once again welcome summer visitors. We anticipate attracting tens of thousands of guests to Cranmore in what formerly was our ‘off season.’ This new attraction will serve to strengthen both Cranmore and the entire surrounding business community.”
