4 - One Day Guest Passes

Open meadows, mature forests, and marsh boardwalks connect interactive natural exhibits where native animals reside: black bear, mountain lion, raptors, river otter, bobcat, and more!

Spend a day - take a self-guided tour of the animal exhibit trail (plan at least two-and-a-half hours). Explore our hiking trails, relax and learn on a Squam Lake Cruise, enjoy the beauty of Kirkwood Gardens, and shop naturally in the Howling Coyote Gift Shop.

Squam Lakes Natural Science Center is a Certified Sensory Inclusive facility by KultureCity to improve our ability to assist and accommodate guests with sensory needs. Our objective is to provide an inclusive and seamless experience for all guests on the live animal exhibit trail including those with sensory needs. We strive to raise awareness of the needs and challenges faced by individuals with sensory processing disorders by supplying our employees with continuous training and by offering Sensory Bags to guests who may feel overwhelmed by the environment. The bags contain noise canceling headphones, fidget tools, and verbal cue cards and are available to borrow at the Admissions area of the Welcome Center.
