Summer Guided Discoveries

2020 Summer Guided Discoveries are canceled.

The health and safety of our campers and staff were our prime consideration as we reviewed the draft Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) guidelines for operating day camps during the COVID-19 Pandemic. Ultimately, we felt that we cannot provide the camp experience that families have come to know and love while adhering to the required CDC guidelines.

We love seeing the faces of happy campers joining us each day throughout the summer and we will certainly miss our time with you this year.

We have a family program in the works for this summer. It is a series of nature challenges that families will complete at home under the guidance of a Science Center Naturalist. Stay tuned for more details on this exciting way to explore the natural world around you in a safe and fun way.

For program questions contact Education Director Audrey Eisenhauer at 603-968-7194 x 114 or email

I just love this place! It is slightly off the beaten path but easy to locate. Plan on spending a couple of hours here to learn about the local wildlife habits , habitat, and food. And , best of all, meet that local wild life in its natural setting.! This business is part of the membership chain of regional zoos and science museums so honors your membership to others around the country for free admission or reduced cost admission to here. I would plan on at least 2-3 hours here although it could be covered (without small children in a bit over an hour). Walk ways are generally paved and handicapped accessible as are the buildings that are dedicated to species or habitat education.

Great place to take the family for a day trip. Lots to see, beautiful area with some unique animals & very friendly staff. Good volunteer opportunities several times per year including hiking, fall clean up & more. Also have camps (day, some overnight, week long or longer) during school vacation, etc. Nice place.

Wonderful place for kids and adults! Beautiful wildlife, well maintained, easily navigable. I'd buy a season pass and go every morning if I lived closer.

Lots of wildlife to see and many exhibits for children of all ages to interact with. A great (and fun) "learning" center. There was a fantastic Dinosaur exhibit while we were there, and I hope you get to see it. We had a wonderful day's outing here!
