Fun experience with wild animals and interactive exhibits. The animals are local wild species and fun to see up close and the information on them is presented in an engaging way for children. The walk around the loop can take a few hours depending on how long you spend at each stop but it's an enjoyable time and a great place for families.

Was great, my son and I really enjoyed it. They have animal exhibits, play areas for kids, up close and personal experiences with different animals where they bring them into a room and talk about them and just a lot of cool things to learn along your walk down the trail!

It is one of the best nature centers I have been to, my grandchildren loved seeing Bobcats Raptors bear's and river otters in their natural habitat the whole tour took just over 2 hours.

We stopped by here on the suggestion of 2 NH natives as a place our 10 year old grandson would enjoy. Well to use "enjoy" would be an understatement, if I were to describe my grandson's experience. There are so many different exhibits, each inviting and engaging young and old minds alike. The animal habitats are brilliant in design. We watched a presentation on the porcupine that had my techno-geek grandson filling up the Q & A session with his curiosity gone wild. The whole staff is very knowledgeable, professional, and polite. The trail and exhibits are clean and well kept. The whole experience was great for our grandson and myself as well.
