Enjoy getting Nearer to Nature on a hike through fields, forests, and wetlands.
Open meadows, mature forests, and marsh boardwalks connect interactive natural exhibits where native animals reside: black bear, mountain lion, raptors, river otter, bobcat, and more.
Plan approximately two-and-a-half hours to walk the exhibit trail. Trails are open May 1 through November 1, 9:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. (last trail admission at 3:30 p.m.)
The 2021 cruise season begins in mid-May. Check back for updates and tickets.

Squam lakes was a great experience. It was very expensive to get in so I recommend checking your library to see if they have discount passes. At every exhibit there is an activity for your child to do such as puzzles or matching and etc. There is a great picnic area as well as nice playground for the kids. The animatronic dinosaurs were great for my son. They also had a cool spot where there are slides inside and tunnels. We didn't mind spending the money since all the money goes towards the native animals that are there either from being rescued or orphaned. My family spent 3 hrs here. We would go again but with passes. For a family of four it was $92. That's with two kids. Very interactive here.
Beautiful science center, we will be back!
Took the kids for an adventure, they had the dinosaurs on the trails
