I understood that this place wasn't the typical cave atmosphere that you would think of when you go to a "cave". We knew exactly what we would be seeing when we arrived. What we didn't know was that you would be waiting in line at times for 10 minutes for people to go through the caves in front of you. There were many times that people would let their kids just run. We also had the issue of a couple of people who would let their kids go through the cave and then jump over the rocks to cut in front of people so they could go through again. We also ran into people who decided half way through that they didn't want to go into a cave so everyone in their group had to back out so they could get out. Then the others in the party went back in only to realize they didn't want to be in there either so then they all had to back out as well. This caused long backups in some areas and then the people behind you would try to push forward so they could see.
The park was neat, although I thought it was a little pricey since it cost my family of 5 $84.00. The people visiting completely ruin the fun of it. We found that most people here were very rude. We have traveled to many places and this place was the worst. Obviously this is not something the business can fix. I honestly thought about my review before I typed it up and could not come up with a way to fix the problem we ran into.
This was neat but realize your family will be crammed in between many other families and if you run into ones that are rude it can ruin the entire experience.
I don' think I would recommend a stop here if you like a more quiet laid back natural experience. It's hard to go at your own pace here and it is definitely not private or quiet.

Celebrated our Mom's 90th birthday. We had a great week. The homes were clean, had beautiful views of the lake. The new Redwood was beautifully built and allowed us to have family meals for 18 of us without being cramped.

We saw Big Bad Voodoo Daddy here last night. The sound was excellent. So much better than other small venues I have been at. I purchased tickets through Mission tix, which was easy enough, but I didn't realize I could have called directly to the theater to buy my tickets. I had a Common Man gift card I could have used if I had known that. No big deal, but I want to make others aware. I booked dinner seating. The Monkey is part of the Common Man group, so the food is a mini menu from CM. I really like Common Man, but I thought the food was not up to the quality of Common Man dining. Again, it didn't ruin my experience, as you can see I still gave it five stars. Because the show was fantastic and the venue is pretty perfect.

The rattle snake trail is a must do. Fairly easy to start and then gets a little steeper. Little kids may need a little help near the top. It took our group four hours for the round trip. Take a picnic lunch and enjoy the awesome view of Squam lake.

Reviewed By 50statewannabe - Waynesboro,PA
We stopped in Riveredge Marina on Monday August 5th to try and rent a boat for a day of fishing on Squam Lake. The young lady at the desk acted like we were a bother and showed us boats on line that could be rented- then proceeded to smirk and tell us they didn't have any available.
Very rude, less than helpful, and condescending. Will never go back.

I booked the "sugar sweet" tour for my boyfriends Christmas present. Lidia was more than accommodating, very prompt with communication, and so so nice. The dogs are wonderful, well cared for, and friendly.
It was below 0 on our tour, and Lidia and her team ensured we were bundled up in sleeping bags as to keep us warm, and took fun pictures to capture our experience! The trails through the woods were beautiful, and as the sun set, it was perfect!! I would recommend to anyone who loves huskies and the beauty of winter weather.

Squam Lakes Natural Science Center is a fun and enlightening place for everyone to enjoy. Here at the Science Center, we house and exhibit many different wild animals, including river otters, mountain lions, bobcats, deer, bears, birds, foxes, and skunks. The wild animals at Squam Lakes Natural Science Center are ambassadors of their species, here for the purpose of educating our visitors about New Hampshire's natural world. Most are orphaned, injured, or otherwise unable to survive in the wild. Observing these animals up-close, together with experiencing our hands-on exhibits, offers visitors the opportunity to develop a deeper understanding of our native wildlife and appreciation of the natural world.

Our visit, which was booked at the last minute, was pure magic! The interpretive exhibits, especially the Water Matters one, were very informative and fun. How are ice blocks made? How do earthworms aerate the soil? And Laurie was a great tour guide and lake boat driver. Loves everything about Little and Big Squam...and it shows! Don't miss this attraction!

I have been riding with the bicycle groups out of Rhino Bike Works for many years. They have bicycle sales and rentals as well as group rides most days each week. They can suggest great road or mountain rides for your ability level. There is never any pressure to buy anything but why not support a business that helps our sport so much.
In the winter cross country skiing takes over with a similar enthusiasm and great suggestions. These guys are experts.

Reviewed By Rebekajean - The Woodlands, Texas
We were driving through the area and stopped in to view the metal work. Lots of fun pieces spread out over the property. Love the building, an old train station. The artist is on site with his friendly dog. Because he works with metal and some pieces are pointed, not a great place for young children to roam around. Hubby and I enjoyed his work but I especially loved the metal faces mounted on the sliding barn door that leads to his indoor gallery. Inside is a completely different form of art. Natural wood pieces mounted on the walls. Very interesting. Glad we stopped. No charge to look so we recommend taking a look if you are in the area.
