What an amazing place. My kids loved it!

What a great zoo. Bedsides the beautiful animals this zoo is clean and extremely interactive for all ages. There is tons of information around the zoo providing facts about all the animals and their habitats, communities, and ecosystems. The animals are diverse ranging from aquatic to semi aquatic to terrestrial. What an awesome place! I highly recommend!

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 fo NH. The animals who stay are there for medical or other legitimate reasons to 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.
