WHO WE ARE
The mission of the Squam Lakes Natural Science Center (SLNSC) is to advance understanding of ecology by exploring New Hampshire’s natural world.

Through spectacular live animal exhibits, natural science education programs, and lake cruises, the Squam Lakes Natural Science Center has educated and enlightened visitors for over forty years about our natural world. The Squam Lakes Natural Science Center is located on Route 113 in Holderness, exit 24 off I-93, and is open daily from May 1 through November 1.

In September 2006, we gained national accreditation from the Association of Zoos and Aquariums (AZA). This accreditation distinguishes the Squam Lakes Natural Science Center as among the very finest educational facilities of its kind in the nation and the only AZA-accredited institution in northern New England.
