A nice representation of NH wildlife. The staff are caring and knowledgeable, ready to answer any questions. There is a great indoor interactive play area (chevron closed to COVID), and a very nice outdoor playground where you can pretend to be a squirrel evading predators. My kids love this place!

Visited with my significant other on May 9th. Was not busy at all! Has so many interactive exhibits to learn from. Though we are both adults, we enjoyed playing and reading all the information along the trail. Love the hands on learning, it's the perfect place for children to learn new things about animals and nature while having tons of fun (and seeing animals!). The animals looked happy, and the enclosures were very natural and large for them to roam around. Will definitely return in the future!

Always a great way to spend the day with the kids. They never get bored even after several trips, the love the interactive stations throughout the place, and the playground and zipline are a favorite. The giant insects were very cool to see as well. Well worth the membership!

Really amazing! Stroller friendly! Hands on learning. great for all ages. The grounds and animals are well cared for. There are learning sessions with live animals. The playground was a favorite for my 6 year old.

Very nice place. Tons of cool local animals. Lots of fun things for the kids to do. Good facilities. Plenty of parking. Nice picnic area. Great stop for a couple hours. We used it to break up a long trip home and the kids loved it. We will definitely be back again.
