Walking Info
Plan two and a half hours to walk the 3/4 mile trail through open meadows, mature forests, and marsh boardwalks on a packed gravel path. Click on an exhibit below to learn more.
Step onto the Live Animal Exhibit Trail for an up‑close look at New Hampshire wildlife in naturalistic habitats woven through open meadows, mature forests, and marsh boardwalks.
This three‑quarter‑mile, self‑guided trail follows a packed gravel path past Black Bears, Bobcats, Mountain Lions, River Otters, raptors, and more, along with hands-on exhibits that explore their habitats, adaptations, and the changing New Hampshire landscape. Plan about two and a half hours to wander, watch, and discover at your own pace as you get nearer to nature with family and friends.
Trail admission tickets are required to access the Live Animal Exhibit Trail.
