I love going to Squam Lakes Natural Science Center! They have all kinds of different animals, it's very informative. They have a nice play area for kids, my grandsons love it, even the teenage ones.

Really amazing! Stroller friendly! Hands on learning. great for all ages. The grounds and animals are well cared for. There are learning sessions with live animals. The playground was a favorite for my 6 year old.

Squam Lakes Natural Science Center offers an incredible educational experience set in the heart of New Hampshire's natural beauty. The well-maintained trails lead visitors through diverse habitats, allowing close encounters with native wildlife like black bears, river otters, and mountain lions. The center's knowledgeable staff and engaging exhibits make learning about local ecosystems both fun and informative. Ideal for families, nature lovers, and anyone looking to connect with the environment, this center is a must-visit destination. Will definitely be coming back!

Very nice place, clean and informative. Different from other places - lots for kids to learn hands on. I was a little apprehensive due to the cost and not many animals but felt like it was worth every penny. I would recommend packing a lunch and taking advantage of the trails - make a full day out of it.
