Grasshopper Grove Birthday Parties!
Grasshopper Grove is a ‘bridge’ between a mowed lawn and the wild woods, that inspires children to discover nature play spaces in their own backyards and the wider world! Natural elements are at the heart of child-centered play. In Grasshopper Grove, children will be encouraged to explore this world around them, get dirty and above all, have fun! Children can use their imaginations to build in the ‘loose parts’ area, and combine a slab of slate, rainwater and a paint brush to create an artistic masterpiece. They can hop from stump to stump, play in the sand and dirt pile and more!
Located at the Outdoor Discovery Campus: 120 Muser Drive, Cornwall NY (off Angola Rd)
Offered on Saturdays and Sundays 10am-12pm OR 1pm-3pm (Mid-April through Mid-November)
