Montshire features more than 125 permanent exhibits, nationally touring and features exhibits, “Andy’s Place” - a special area scaled to size for visitors five and under, and 100 acres of trails, outdoor exhibits, a Woodland Garden, Science Park, a walking tour of the solar system, and the most intelligent water park in New England.

We offer guests the opportunity to learn about the production process and how the company’s 3-part mission statement is incorporated into day-to-day business decisions. During the summer months you’ll find outdoor activities, cows in the pasture, our Flavor Graveyard and plenty of space for picnicking.

It features a beautiful, 6,300-yard links golf course with many holes fronting on the Third Branch of the White River. Montague’s front nine is lined by maple and pine trees. The back nine is more of an open “links-style”, with rolling fairways and sloping land lined with tall heather grasses. The course is open to the public.
