Aviation Museum earns ‘Best Place to Take Kids,’ other distinctions in annual Hippo Reader Poll

We’re #1! We’re thrilled to announce that the Aviation Museum of N.H. placed FIRST in six different categories in the 2026 HippoPress ‘Best Of’ Reader Poll. After counting thousands of votes that were cast in January and February, the Aviation Museum was named…

  • Best place to take your kids
  • Best summer day camp for kids
  • Best shop to buy toys for kids (A new category!)
  • Best historic or cultural attraction for an all-ages family crowd
  • Best outdoor spot to let kids get out their energy
  • Best spot for all-ages family fun

The poll results, released in the issue published on Thursday, April 16, also name the Aviation Museum as runner-up in four additional categories:

  • Best museum (Our friends at the Currier Museum won this category.)
  • Best community event (Santa Claus and the Easter Bunny’s annual visits.)
  • Best spot for a group outing
  • Best local shop to get a one-of-a-kind gift

Many thanks to the volunteers, staff, and board members whose hard work all year round makes it possible for us to achieve such recognition. And thanks also to those who voted for the Aviation Museum in so many varied categories. These results are important because it’s not us blowing our horn, but it’s what others have to say about and the value our non-profit brings to the community.

We’re grateful for the recognition, and will continue working hard to make the Aviation Museum the best in everything we do!
