There's good reason why Margret and H.A. Rey, authors of the Curious George childrens books, chose to make Waterville Valley home. Its beautiful setting and mountain backdrop have fueled the imaginations of visitors (artists and dreamers alike), and that tradition continues today. It's a place for musicians to entertain, a place for actors and actresses to perform live theater and a place where kids can explore their hidden talents. We have interactive theater, live animals programs, guided stargazing, art workshops and more. Waterville Valley is more than a vacation destination, it's a destination for enrichment and fulfillment. Explore the many offerings below and see why, in Waterville Valley, culture thrives!
