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.

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.

This place is wonderful. It's a great way to spend a half day with the kids. There are engaging exhibits and animals that are native to the region. They've implemented a no food policy and routed traffic in one direction during COVID.

Pleasantly surprised! We were vacationing with our 11 month old near Squam Lake for the 4th, and it ended up being a rainy weekend. We audibled to the Natural Science Center without expecting much, but it was pretty awesome....even in the rain!! Lots of shelter and interactive exhibits for kids of all ages, and the animals were still out. We'd love to come back on a sunny day 😊

Absolutely exceptional place to go. I've been to other nature centers in Maine and New Hampshire and love this the most. The enclosures were well taken care of and the employees cared very much for the animals. The raptors were very well taken care of and the place was not run down like some other places. A lot of my family went of all different ages and every one of them was captivated by the beautiful animals. A very natural Scenic setting and much education. Check out some of the photos.
