Are you tearing your hair out trying to think of inexpensive ways to keep your kids busy this summer? A visit to The Little Nature Museum is one solution. Tucked away in the tiny town of Warner, the children’s museum offers hands-on interactive displays for all ages.
Children can test their knowledge about poison ivy, birds and bears; peer at pollen through a microscope; and try to identify a variety of furs, footprints and insects. They can feel the roughness of lichen, the smooth surface of a seashell and squeeze a real sponge. One exhibit that is sure to light up their eyes is the fluorescent mineral display.
If you’re searching for educational entertainment that will stimulate young minds, the Little Nature Museum will keep them absorbed for hours. Cool prizes await those who try the different indoor activities, and a nature trail offers many more opportunities to learn about the world around us.
Folks may bring a picnic lunch and spend the day, or just come for a few hours.
Located on the campus of the Mt. Kearsarge Indian Museum, just off Kearsarge Mountain Road in Warner, the Little Nature Museum has a lot to offer.
It is open Friday and Sunday afternoons, all day Saturday and holidays, or by appointment for groups. For more information, visit littlenaturemuseum.org.
