Fifty thousand years ago, a continental glacier moved southward over New Hampshire. As the ice sheet thawed, great blocks of granite fell from Hawk's Cliff. These massive granite blocks created a series of caves and passageways which you can come and explore. The park's name refers to the "polar" breath that emanates from the caves even on the hottest summer day. Temperature differences between the air above ground and in the caves are why it's a good idea to review the park's suggested attire.

Polar Caves offers a welcoming environment that allows you to explore at your own pace, experience nature, and plug into your inner explorer. Attractions include:

• The Animal Park (fallow deer and ducks)
• Nine granite boulder caves
• Main Lodge Gift Shop
• Nature Trails 

Visitors are welcome to bring a picnic lunch and take advantage of the picnic area, rest stops, gazebos, and benches located throughout the park.

There is an admission fee.
