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.) Trails remain open Saturdays and Sundays during November, 10:00 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. (last trail admission at 2:00 p.m.)
The 2021 cruise season begins in mid-May. Check back for updates and tickets.

Always a great time!
Fantastic zoo/nature center focused on native NH species - black bear, bobcat, otters, mountain lion, fox, hawks, and more. Interactive exhibits throughout with fun games and quizzes for kids, who will learn a bunch as you go. If you move fast between exhibits you might be able to do it in an hour, but plan for more like 2-3 hours. Makes a great day trip when combined with Rattlesnake trail hike.
What a well-done Science Center. Definitly high end exhibits. Would definitely recommend.
