Changed due to storms. Note that strong thunderstorms are expected on Saturday evening. We have shifted our scheduled programs to a relaxed opportunity to stop by and learn from our education team. Staff will be at the park until 9:30 PM as weather permits.

Stay safe! Leave the field if you see lightning.

Join park staff for a family friendly Nature at Night Program! These programs feature fascinating creatures that enjoy the night as much as we do at Cherry Springs. Possible topics include: fireflies, owls bats, black bears and more.
