NH Day

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.

Wonderful place for kids and adults! Beautiful wildlife, well maintained, easily navigable. I'd buy a season pass and go every morning if I lived closer.

Since discovering this place a few years ago I have been in love. I make it a mission to visit at least once a year. Last year I even had my daughters birthday here! Most recent visit was Saturday when me and my husband were celebrating our wedding anniversary. I highly recommend this place. Animals are amazing and well taken care of. The path ways are also well tended to.

Fantastic zoo/nature center focused on native NH species - black bear, bobcat, otters, mountain lion, fox, hawks, and more. Interactive exhibits throughout with fun games and quizzes for kids, who will learn a bunch as you go. If you move fast between exhibits you might be able to do it in an hour, but plan for more like 2-3 hours. Makes a great day trip when combined with Rattlesnake trail hike.
