Polar Caves Park is a set of glacially-formed caves located in New Hampshire's White Mountains region, in the United States. The caves were formed from granite boulders and are so named because the deepest cave is cold enough to allow snow to linger long into the summer.See Polar Caves Park and all Rumney has to offer by arranging your trip with our Rumney travel route planning site.
The caves are a popular tourist destination. The cave park contains boardwalks, giant boulder gardens, and a small zoo, with deer, pheasants and other unusual game birds, as well as a mining game for children. A rock climbing wall for all ages (novice to experienced) has been added that takes advantage of the granite cliffs. The caves are well-marked and relatively easy to traverse using walkways and stairs. They are naturally cool during the summer.
Polar Caves are located in the town of Rumney, along New Hampshire Route 25, approximately 5 miles (8 km) west of Interstate 93 in Plymouth.

We were there nice and early, and able to complete all nine caves in under an hour. Boys loved it. It you are not physically fit it will be a challenge. It was a hot day but the caves were cool.... more »

This was an excellent attraction, but for someone like me with physical limitations, it was a little too difficult. Perhaps a bit more education on the level of difficulty for each of the cave would..... more »

A great place to spend a few hours! The caves are lots of fun and just challenging enough to make them memorable. Nice job with signs around the park pointing out objects of interest. Feeding the ducks and deer makes for some great photo ops with kiddos. Panning for gems and fossils is lots of fun, too! Good luck with the last cave on the tour!!

Wooden walkways leading to a number of walk through caves similar to the Lost River. Fun and should be accessible to most people as caves all have walk around minus a decent number of stairs. Some of the caves are very easy while a few are very challenging. It probably would be helpful if they indicated some sort if difficulty level. They also offer climbing walls.
