Grady’s Groundhog Day
Dates: Feb 2nd
Cost: One free youth (ages 5-15) admission with each paid adult; free for under 5
Will Grady give the same prediction as Punxsutawney Phil? Or will he daringly give his own prediction about winter’s claim on the weather? Read about the results here!

Weather permitting, join us for an educational program on groundhogs and other woodland critters while waiting eagerly to see Grady’s shadow in the Meadows. Guided family hikes on the Great Woodland Adventure trail will follow the program at noon and 12:30pm. Kid’s Groundhog Day crafts will be offered from noon-1pm.

To celebrate Grady’s special day, we're offering a discount on membership in Grady's Kids Club, the Annual Pass for youth (ages 5-15), for $8 during February. Enjoy visits to the Park for 18 months, discounts on Park retail, dining & events and savings at favorite area attractions.
