Local Love: Penitentiary Glen Reservation {November '17}

This month's local love post is dedicated to Penitentiary Glen Reservation in Kirtland, Ohio.

The official link is here.

Now through January 1st is Candy Land goes Wild, which is a life size Candy Land board where you get to be the players. This is the second year Jace and I have gone, and we loved it. This year we brought friends and got to explore the outdoors as well!

There's a huge nature playground that all the kids loved, which had a sand pit, a pond, a jungle gym made of wood, and all kinds of nature themed play. All the kids, age 1-8, enjoyed themselves and would have been happy to stay and continue playing!

The details:

The park/nature center is open year round and free to the public.

Candy Land is free to the public, hot chocolate is 50 cents a cup, and on the weekends s'mores are free.

If there's snow, they do snow shoe rentals by the hour.

It's an hour drive away, but I'd say it's totally worth it, we spent three hours there Saturday, and it was a wonderful afternoon of fun!
