Celebrate cold weather at Winter Fest in Schaumburg

Bundle up and join the winter fun this weekend at the Schaumburg Park District's Spring Valley Nature Center.

Winter Fest is set for noon to 3 p.m. Saturday and Sunday, Jan. 16 and 17, at Spring Valley, 1111 E. Schaumburg Road.

"The fest will be a blast for any age," said Dave Brooks, manager of conservation services.

Participants will enjoy snowshoe walks through the prairie; horse-drawn wagon rides throughout the grounds; winter snacks, crafts and activities inside the Nature Center; and marshmallows roasted on a winter bonfire. New this year are dog sled demonstrations.

Admission is $3 per person or $12 per family. Children 3 and younger are free.
