I love going here, and the rain made it easier to enjoy without crowds. The animals are well taken care of and have lots of wonderful enrichment. Great fun for kids and adults.

Its always fun to come here!! This time we came in the afternoon and it was a little hot. Not all the animals were out but it was still a great time! Barred owl, deer, black bear and mountain lions to name a few! They did a great job incorporating social distancing without taking too much from the experience.

Squam Lakes Natural Science Center should be added to everyone's maps, there is something special about it, and you can feel it as soon as you enter. A great place to take the kids to learn about nature and wildlife. & Their lake tours are on one of the most celebrated & scenic spots in New Hampshire.

We went on their pontoon boat Squam Lake tour. It is a 90 minute tour, and is quite enjoyable. This lake has lots of water fowl, including lions, cormorants and eagles. It was also used for the filming of "On Golden Pond". The guide was very knowledgeable. The only downside was that the nature center was hard for us to find. Their are signs, but they are small, hard to see from a moving car. Google maps took us to the wrong place using the street address. But, I would definitely go again.
