Cowabunga’s bills itself as the largest inflatable playground in New England, and the Hooksett location (there are others in Manchester and North Reading, Mass.) features the Tiki Blast play structure, which could keep any kid occupied for hours on end. JON BODELL / Insider staff
Tri-Town Ice Arena in Hooksett is serious about hockey. There are two full-size rinks that stay in year-round — there’s no dry season at this arena. What there is, though, is a dentist’s office, a TSR Hockey retail pro shop, a private workout/training room and even an outdoor rink for Dek Hockey, an old version of street hockey.
