Love coming here. It's a beautiful place to walk around. You can learn so much about the animals.

Great place for the kids to learn about their own habitat (New Hampshire!) The staff is incredibly nice and full of information. The animals are loved and I was shocked by how many they have.

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!

SLNSC is an Awesome place to visit and unwind. It sits on several acres between Squam and Little Squam Lakes in Holderness, New Hampshire. SLNSC is a neat combination of trails, zoo, educational and research facility. Wildlife trails take you through a wonderful bit of forest, with habitats containing rescued New Hampshire wildlife, educational interactive displays, and ecological awareness information. There is a store...The Howling Coyote...that has all sorts of merchandise and gifts for children and adults, and MEMBERSHIP PLANS that help maintain this Non-profit organization. If you like water...the Squam Lakes Tours give you a good hour around Squam Lake, where you experience the beauty that is New Hampshire, and the wildlife that lives there. It is well worth your time and travel...it is a place to keep coming back to, again and again🐻🐿️🌲🦊🦝🌳🐰🐺🌿🦌🦦 Best Regards, David S. R. Clark
