Visit Prairie Ridge for our latest StoryWalk\u00ae featuring When Winter Comes, by Nancy Van Laan and Susan Gaber! Our story begins just inside our entry gates and will take you on a short trail as you learn about how our prairie and forest change during winter.<\/p>\n
Be sure to wear closed-toed shoes that can get muddy, appropriate dress for the weather, and bring a water bottle. Trails are mulch, dirt or grass and small hills are included \u2014 trail strollers or baby carriers are recommended for our smallest visitors. Bring a picnic and enjoy the day (but please pack out your trash!).<\/p>\n
This StoryWalk\u00ae will be available January 4th-31st each day we are open, weather pending. Prairie Ridge is open 9am-4pm Tuesday-Saturday; closed on Sundays and Mondays.<\/p>","excerpt":"","slug":"when-winter-comes-storywalk","image":false,"all_day":false,"start_date":"2022-01-08
