“So what’s that ball thing in the corner over there?” This question follows me here at the good ol’ SkyVenture NH. When customers walk in to SVNH, they are completely confused as to what the giant ball is over in surf side, which is totally understandable. If I were a first time customer and had never seen the FishPipe before, I wouldn’t know what the heck I was looking at. For those who don’t know, the FishPipe is a simulation of the worlds longest water slide. The instructors will put about four gallons of water inside of the ball and…

Get to know one of the voices behind the phones, Tiff, our front desk manager, by reading this Q&A! How long have you worked at SVNH? It will be two years in February! You have one plane ticket to travel anywhere in the world… Where would you go? New Zealand. The landscape is beautiful and I’ve heard a lot about the biodiversity there. I’d love to ride a horse through the fields and pretend I’m in Lord of the Rings. I’ve also heard great things about Iceland. Would you rather speak every language in the world or be able to…

The activities offered here at Surf’s Up and SkyVenture NH speak for themselves. They are addicting, thrilling, and unique, which creates an unbelievably amazing environment. But what other details makes this facility awesome? Here’s the “small stuff” that I think makes this place rock: I personally love that Surf’s Up is ALWAYS warm. In the dead of winter, when I feel like a Popsicle, I am able to walk into Surf’s Up and thaw out. I literally step into paradise in the middle of New England. The food we make in the Oasis Café is delicious. People are often put…
