Great Bay Discovery Center

Let's meet at the pavilion next to the barn at the end of the parking lot. Look for the giant Great Blue Heron carving.
A new Geocaching challenge has begun! If you want to learn more about it and find your first mythical creature... Bigfoot... you can get started right here!
If you would simply like to meet up with fellow cachers for coffee and donuts in a beautiful location, then please stop by. We will trade travel bugs including Dewey - The Adventurer - a Duck Tales travel bug!. He will be available to discover during the event and then we will have a raffle to determine who will help him with his next adventure!
You can enjoy the trails here, including a boardwalk that takes you through a woodland trail and a loop through the Salt Marsh. You will find wide open views of Great Bay and an observation deck with a spotting scope installed! You may see some real creatures like river otters, great blue herons or turtles along the way!
The Visitor Center has interactive exhibits and some fun and games for kids.
If you are interested in the new Geocaching souvenir challenge... here's the scoop from Groundspeak:
Recently, 13 sightings of magical creatures and otherworldly beings have been reported. Your challenge is to look for these creatures in their natural habitats and confirm the existence of as many as you can. From June 27 through July 25, earn up to 13 mythical creature souvenirs by finding geocaches or attending events.
Earn a point for every cache or event you log. Each Hidden Creature souvenir is valued at a certain number of points. Once you reach that amount, earn the associated souvenir. View your Hidden Creatures progress in the Geocaching® app or on the Hidden Creatures site
Are the points cumulative?
Yes! If you find one geocache or attend one event, you earn the Bigfoot souvenir. When you find two more caches you earn the Fairy souvenir.
Simply sign the log for this event and you will earn the Bigfoot souvenir!
This event is the first in a series of THREE Hidden Creature events! Two more events will be held during this challenge so we can gather and check on our progress. Or simply just gather... I am sure you will enjoy these other locations, too... some of my favorite places!
Event #1: Hidden Creatures of Great Bay Meet & Greet: GC7QXDH - June 30, 2018
Event #2: Hidden Creatures of Stratham Hill Park: GC7RAM3 - July 14, 2018
Event #3: Hidden Creatures of The Farm at Eastman's Corner: GC7RR84 - July 21, 2018
Don't forget to pick up a raffle ticket for a real souvenir... a Hidden Creatures geocoin! It is over 2" in diameter and beautiful, with an image of the World Turtle on one side. Other raffle prizes include a Hidden Creatures patch, which is also a work of art and quite large. And the third raffle prize is a Hidden Creatures World Turtle Travel Tag. The drawing for these prizes will be held on July 21 at the Hidden Creatures at The Farm at Eastman's Corner. If you attend all three Hidden Creatures events you will have three raffle tickets, increasing your odds of winning a prize! You do not have to be present at the drawing to win a prize.
Hope to see you at the Great Bay Discovery Center!
