Keene Central Square - "Jumanji" - Keene, NH - Movie Locations on Waymarking.com

Keene's Central Square is a bustling traffic circle with traffic and pedestrians all around. Now imagine a stampede of wild animals running around the circle and stomping and impaling cars in the way! This happened in the fictional movie, "Jumanji," where this location was used in a critical scene.

The location is, specifically, where Central Square - circular common - meets West Street, Roxbury Street, and Main Street. There is a flagpole nearby, where the crosswalk spans the road.

The scene is in the north direction, from around the crosswalk across the common to a white church on the other side. In the scene there was a car in the middle of the intersection.

The movie is roughly about a game that children start to play that interweaves movements and actions of a game with actions in real life. There is a foe, a hunter by the name of Van Pelt, who pursues them. At this scene, Peter, one of the children who has also taken on aspects of a monkey, steals the game from Van Pelt and tries to run away. Suddenly, a pack of African animals run around the square. Peter tries to to take refuge in a car that was in the middle of the road, abandoned. The animals run around until an elephant walks over the car. Peter lies lower down and avoids getting crushed. However, after the animals pass, Van Pelt finds Peter, takes the game, and walks off.
