Six more weeks of winter or an early spring—let’s celebrate either way!

Whether the groundhog sees his shadow and we get a prediction of six more weeks of winter or a cloudy day serves as a harbinger of spring, we’ll get our party on! Bring the whole family to enjoy fun and engaging activity stations that will help you learn more about groundhogs and this unusual holiday. Plus, grown-ups and kids alike can let loose and get a little silly in our photo booth!
