This place is AWESOME! Plenty of trails, live raptors, (big birds, like the bald eagle and barn owl!) And other awesome exhibits and places to stop and eat lunch along the trails. Very friendly staff and their love for nature is just so heartwarming. Everything there is just so educational, and there is plenty to learn along the way. There is always something to do! I love this place. Great place to take your little aspiring nature enthusiasts! Absolutely recommended.

NH Audubon is a wonderful place to introduce your family to the wonders of nature. Although they are currently closed to the public, you can still enjoy their hiking trails and go out back to the mews to visit the resident birds of prey. Also, their summer camp is always fun and educational, even in these crazy Covid times - Zoom is everywhere.

The walking trails are lovely, there's a bike/walking path that goes through a field and comes to a bridge over Turkey pond, many winding woodland paths around the pond with places to stop and admire the view. A fun and interactive science center with many exhibits, and even a raptor enclosure housing a few birds of prey. One of the barred owls has been there since the mid 90s and a barn owl recently made a unique and enchanting addition to their team of animal ambassadors. Worth a visit!

Great venue to experience the NH out of doors at. Nice walking trails and beautiful scenery. Plenty of events scheduled throughout the year. Closed on Sundays but the trails are always open. The trails have markers and easy to follow. Plenty of rest and informational stops. HUGE &TALL trees everywhere. Watch for woodpeckers and deer. All kings of flora & fauna to see.

A lot of trails to explore. Trails ranging from easy to difficult. Bring a good pair of hiking shoes if you are going to explore most of the trails. You can jog on some of the trails as I saw one woman do. Bring water . No bathrooms available.One trail connects to the bike path that runs along RT.89 and includes the walking bridge over the river. The difficult trail, with lots of rocks and roots making it difficult to traverse, is scenic because it travels along a basin and has short paths to access it. Planks have been added over areas that could have puddles to cross. Very little litter. Signage and marked s to help guide you. Bring a rugged stroller for most of the trails. The difficult trail is stroller inaccessible. A few trails may accomodate a wheelchair, but, be ready to push.
Stay on the paths! Poison ivy and electric fences are along the trails.
Only animals I saw were a dragonfly, chipmunks and a few birds.
Main building was closed due to covid-19. Gardens outside are starting to age with the seasons. Benches and picnic tables available. Donation box at information sign. I donated before I hiked. Plenty of sectioned parking. I saw license plates from Florida and (Don't mess with) Texas.
I'm going back! I recommend this place.
Update: Halloween , 2020; I went back and did more of the Turkey Pond Trail and Wendy's Loop. To my surprise, the raptor exhibit was open. I saw owls, red tail hawk and a bald eagle . No, the eagle didn't say "Here's Wayne and Wanda!". The birds had a penetrating stare and I felt they were staring me in the eyes thinking "Hey, do you have a rodent on your person? If not, stop looking moron!".
I saw beaver homes on the water , but no beavers. I've seen them in the wild and they splash a lot to intimidate potential predators.
I'm glad I went back and I'm looking forward to the building reopening!

What a great place to bring children to learn about NH'S wildlife, especially birds. We enjoyed a wonderful talk on Arctic foxes, my granddaughter's favorite animal. She was thrilled to see one in person and learn about them and their cousins, the gray and red fox. We enjoyed the reptile room (which also had a lot of taxidermy)and also went up to the Aerie to enjoy the view. Their gift shop is wonderful and had a good assortment of small items that made a great souvenir. We'll be back in warmer weather to enjoy the trails!
