HOLDERNESS -- Squam Lakes Natural Science Center released on Friday that they will host a special New Hampshire Day on May 9, from 9:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. where New Hampshire residents will receive special $10 trail admission (regular rates: $30/adults, $28/seniors, $24/youth), offering an accessible opportunity to explore the natural world close to home.

New Hampshire Day is a way for the Science Center to give back to the community, helping Granite Staters connect with native wildlife, learn about local ecology, and create lasting memories with family and friends. This special day is made possible through the generous support of Dead River Company, Path Vacations, and the New Hampshire Electric Cooperative Foundation (NHEC). In addition to its sponsorship, NHEC is covering admission fees for its members. NHEC members must show a copy of their electric bill at admissions to receive free entry.

All New Hampshire Day tickets are for one-hour entry blocks and must be purchased in advance. Bring proof of NH residency and plan for a fun-filled experience, including Up Close to Animals presentations at 11 a.m., 1 p.m., and 3 p.m. Last trail admission is during the 2:30-3:30 p.m. window.

Don't miss this wonderful opportunity to meet live animals, connect with nature, and be a part of a community that cares about conservation and education. For more information on Squam Lakes Natural Science Center or to reserve NH Day tickets, visit www.nhnature.org.
