This is by far one the best not so hidden gems of Central New Hampshire! While it functions similarly to a zoo the goal of the facility is to rehabilitate and care for local animals found in the white mountains of NH. The animals who stay are there for medical or other legitimate reasons that keep them from living in the wild and are given wonderful care. The staff that works there is knowledgable and kind, eager to answer any questions about the animals you may have. The path to see all the animals is fun and equivalent to many easy day hikes with spots to picnic, and a wonderful play/learning area for the young and young at heart. It is a place my family loves to visit time and time again, never getting board of the wonderful animals, new things to learn, and great day that always ensues.

We hosted another couple from out of state 11am Friday 9/20/24. None of us had experienced this 90 minute pontoon boat ride showcasing Squam Lake. It was truly wonderful. We would highly recommend it. We were warmly welcomed by staff and we were made to feel very comfortable all throughout. Pierce narrated the tour. We hung on to his every word. He's a warm, attentive steward. This is a must do activity for everyone who lives here and for those visiting. History, nature. Terrific.

I have enjoyed visiting this amazing place for 30 years. Great hands on educational experience for all ages. I especially like bringing guests to learn about the New Hampshire wildlife, flora, fauna and geology. Keep up the good work.
