Science Center Voted Family Favorite by Parenting NH Magazine

Squam Lakes Natural Science Center has been selected by the readers of Parenting New Hampshire magazine as a “Family Favorite” award recipient for Favorite Environmental and Educational Center. Parenting New Hampshire magazine is the state’s premier parenting magazine and a resource for families who live in or visit New Hampshire throughout the year.

The Family Favorite awards, now in its fourth year, is an awards program that recognizes family-friendly businesses, services, and places in almost 60 categories – as chosen by the readers of Parenting New Hampshire magazine. Categories included Out and About, Baby Stuff, Birthday Fun, Shopping, Activities & Learning, Family Services, and Restaurants.

“The Family Favorite’s award program recognizes those places, people, and things that make New Hampshire a great place to raise a family,” said Melanie Hitchcock, editor of Parenting New Hampshire. “Whether it is a child care center, the library, or the playground, parents give each other advice on what and who is the best. The Family Favorites contest gives them the opportunity to share that information with the wider public.”

“We are honored to be chosen by the readers of Parenting New Hampshire magazine as a family favorite,” said Amanda Gillen, Marketing and Visitor Services Manager at Squam Lakes Natural Science Center. “For nearly 50 years we have been bringing families nearer to nature and the award helps to spread our educational message.”

The Family Favorite Awards voting took place online from June 1 through July 31, 2014. Parenting New Hampshire received almost 1,100 votes over the two month time period. The results of the reader’s poll will appear in the October 2014 issue of Parenting New Hampshire.
