The South Shore Natural Science Center is a nonprofit organization dedicated to educating the public about the natural and cultural environments of the South Shore. Our mission is to provide natural science programs that educate, excite, and commit every generation to preserve the environment and to encourage responsible use and enjoyment of our natural resources. We welcome visitors year round. At the first light take a right on to Route 123. Jacobs Lane is the first left off of Route 123.
Seasonal festivals attract visitors from the entire South Shore.
Whether you choose a nature walk, prefer a lively lecture, or need a speaker, there is a program for you. Our habitat exhibits allow you to explore and visit live inhabitants of a pond and woodland. Indoor exhibits and outdoor interpretive trails increase the knowledge and appreciation of our natural resources. Watch us feed our animals, or enjoy our hands-on activities. We are affiliated with Mass. Teachers Association, WGBH, and Federated Garden Clubs.
