Wayside Wanderings Natural Play Area

"November 1, 2023, the bathroom is closed for the winter, although we can open it by request for an event or something. We do try to keep th lot and walks plowed and shoveled. Beware of ice.Enjoy playing and hiking in the snow!"

"My 4yo thinks this place is the most magical play area ever! We went twice (first time: almost 3 hours!) in our one week vacation up to the Cable area and she sobbed when we left. The book walk is sooo much fun and the tree house and fairy garden really spark imagination. We will definitely be back next year!"

"A wonderful place for kids (and those who are kids at heart). A natural play area, hiking trails and a story book path. A lovely shelter for picnics and an indoor bathroom! Thank you Cable Natural History Museum!"

"We have stopped in here several times over the years, and the kids never want to leave! The new building is beautiful and perfect for picnics. Wish we lived closer to come more often, but we always stop in when traveling through the area."

"This is a cute natural play area with a treehouse, slide, spider web, a "Trail Tale" with "The Gruffalo's Child" and short trails that are perfect for toddlers and young kids."
