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.

I've been here with kids from ages 2 years to 11 and all of them enjoyed it. We participated in a grade school field trip the last time we went and the educators were top notch.

It was nice to visit. However , the price is high yet I understand why. They are a nonprofit and need the money. I do wish they had a post up talking about the animal in the exhibit. For example the 3 legged fisher. I would of liked to of learned more about them. Is there a sight online to learn about them. Some stuff was closed but is understandable.

It's a beautiful walk and the animals and exhibits are great. There were great hands on activities and even a playground about halfway through. Went with kids in age from 4 to 10 and they all had fun. Adults had fun too! I recommend bringing water and food. Just be aware that you can't eat on the trail, but there's a specific spot that you're allowed to stop and eat. We'll be back!
