On the first Day of Winter, the season gave to me,
the snow falling on a pine tree.
On the second Day of Winter, the season gave to me...
So, sing and play along on the indoor winter wonderland at Penitentiary Glen Reservation. Get in the action of The Twelve Days of Winter on a life-sized game board guided by the familiar holiday song, “The Twelve Days of Christmas.”
Discover through interactive play the many things that nature gives to us in winter as you take a turn, pop the dice, and move along from space to space.
Reminisce with your family and friends about your favorite childhood board games through an exhibit of classic games from the ‘50s, ‘60s and ‘70s. In addition, a craft, activity pages and scavenger hunts are fun for the whole family. Relax in Snowshoe Lodge with a hot beverage and enjoy holiday shopping at The Nature Store, naturally!
Click here to post your thoughts about the exhibit on our interactive WallWisher board.
