We stopped by here on the suggestion of 2 NH natives as a place our 10 year old grandson would enjoy. Well to use "enjoy" would be an understatement, if I were to describe my grandson's experience. There are so many different exhibits, each inviting and engaging young and old minds alike. The animal habitats are brilliant in design. We watched a presentation on the porcupine that had my techno-geek grandson filling up the Q & A session with his curiosity gone wild. The whole staff is very knowledgeable, professional, and polite. The trail and exhibits are clean and well kept. The whole experience was great for our grandson and myself as well.

Squam lakes was a great experience. It was very expensive to get in so I recommend checking your library to see if they have discount passes. At every exhibit there is an activity for your child to do such as puzzles or matching and etc. There is a great picnic area as well as nice playground for the kids. The animatronic dinosaurs were great for my son. They also had a cool spot where there are slides inside and tunnels. We didn't mind spending the money since all the money goes towards the native animals that are there either from being rescued or orphaned. My family spent 3 hrs here. We would go again but with passes. For a family of four it was $92. That's with two kids. Very interactive here.

I love this place! It's like a zoo. You see different creatures and read little cool facts about New Hampshire's wild life on the way of the paths you walk. But, it's not only just all walking, you could also visit the play ground they have so your kids could have fun and a educational time.

Lots of wildlife to see and many exhibits for children of all ages to interact with. A great (and fun) "learning" center. There was a fantastic Dinosaur exhibit while we were there, and I hope you get to see it. We had a wonderful day's outing here!
