This is a place that is really good for family fun. There are animals and birds for kids to see. There are also trails for hiking fun. If you are going to include a hiking trip for your visit with seniors or younger kids, don't choose the Mt. Fayal trail. It's a good trail for adults but not for all... Pick a sunny day to visit... I did have great fun here.....

Another fun experience at Squam. It was clean and beautiful. Always great to see the animals. The kids always love it.

I took my almost 5 years old grandson to Squam Lakes Science Center while in New Hampshire visiting family. It was a bit pricey, but knowing the money helps take care of all the rescued wildlife makes it easier to bear the cost. We learned a lot about the different animals at the center and thoroughly enjoyed our time there.
