Montshire Museum of Science

The museum is one of three official education centers for the Silvio O. Conte National Fish and Wildlife Refuge along the Connecticut River, partnering with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. Amazing!

They also offer 3,000 free day passes each year to the local social serve agencies.

Changing tables are available in restrooms on the first floor.

Food service is available in the Hughes Pavilion during July and August. Bring a snack and/or lunch if you wish to picnic - always great on those sunny days! There are picnic benches located outdoors and in the Hughes Pavilion.

Make sure you allow at least 2-3 hours for your visit. For the Science Park, make sure you remember your swimsuit, water shoes, sunscreen and towel! You can also bring a camera, and binoculars are fun for trying to spot that wildlife!

Before you leave, visit the Museum Store for an outstanding selection of books, toys, and gifts.

The Montshire Museum is home to the best collection of science and nature-related gifts in the Upper Valley.

You’ll find books for adults and children, nature guides, art calendars, puzzles, games, science kits, stuffed toys, jewelry, and much more in the Museum Store.

Your purchase supports the Montshire Museum of Science and its educational programs.

The museum certainly can accommodate school visits, outreach visits, and even homeschoolers! Kids - you can even spend the night in the museum with the Camp-In program - what a neat idea!

Changing tables are available in restrooms on the first floor.

The first two floors of the museum building, as well as some of the paths and trails, are wheelchair accessible. Yay!
