It's now officially summer here in New England. And if you love this season, it will seem to go by in the blink of an eye.

But before it's a memory, there are many fun, must-do summer activities here in New England. According to insider.com, these are the absolute best things to do each state:

Here in Massachusetts, the recommendation is to catch a game at the best ballpark in America, Fenway Park. It's the place where "dreams are made, traditions are celebrated, and baseball is forever."

Close by in Rhode Island, you should experience WaterFire in downtown Providence. In addition to the event, there are also many other things going in in the city on those summer Saturday nights.

Take a drive to New Hampshire, and take a flight in a hot air balloon ride. High 5 Ballooning in Derry, NH offers ride with views of the White Mountains, the ocean, or even the Boston skyline.

If you can make it to northern Maine, a visit to Acadia National Park will be breath taking. It's one of the most beautiful spots in America with views of the ocean and mountains.

Vermont is also a great place to visit in the summer. And the recommendation for the Green Mountain State is a tour of Ben & Jerry's ice cream factory in Waterbury. See how they make the ice cream and enjoy free samples too.
