We spent the day at Squam Center with our 9 month old baby and it was fantastic. There is so much to do even for us adults. We learned so much in a fun and interactive way. Highly recommend! The staff are friendly and so knowledgeable. We had a great day!

If you like peace and nature this is a place for you. The nature walk was a wonderful time learning about nature as you are immersed in it. Wonderful. I also too the lake boat trip that only made thing even better. Great Karma

Super cool! A ton of local wildlife and so much information on each animal. A beautiful place! The playground is also awesome.

We loved it here. We spent 2 hrs and we didnt even walk the trails! Our 6 year old read every single word on the nature trail! He really enjoyed the bobcat, mountain lion and otters but his favorite was the bears! I wish we had packed a lunch. We only had some water and apples. We would have liked to explore the trails that were open. Just another reason to return!

If you're looking for a place where you can have fun, learn, enjoy nature as an adult or a child, Squam Lakes Natural Science Center is a great place to be! You can also experience Squam Lake by taking one of their cruises. This is a must-do! If you're in the lakes region of NH and you are able to make it here, be sure to go. You will have a great time.
