Unlike many zoos that feature exotic animals from all over the world, the science center focuses on Native Species to the New Hampshire region. There’s also a focus on rehabilitation and an educational approach.

We drove up from Milford for a day-trip in August. It was an absolutely delightful experience for me and my two kids (6 months and 3 years). We used a jogging stroller and intermittently used a baby harness - both kiddos benefited from opportunities to ride, as the path is relatively long for little legs. We were greeted by lovely staff, who gave us useful information about picnic areas (there are two) and bathrooms (there are several). Then we got to roam around the property, greeting various animals. There was a bat show and a Bard owl that we got to see up close. The only sad part was that the mountain lion wasn't on site the day of our visit. I will definitely be making the trek up to visit this place again next year.

Very nice place for kids to walk, run, play, and learn in the warmer months when they are open. Feels more like a stroll through the woods with intermittent animal displays and play areas than a typical zoo. Has good educational sessions, excellent outdoor and indoor playgrounds, and a nice little hike off on one side.

This place is amazing! Better than any other science nature centers we've been to outside of a museum or zoo. Easy to find your way around, includes some hiking trails, and even have a play area for the kids. Absolutely must go!
