Bison Bluff Nature Park a "Must-See"!
The Spring Valley Nature Center recently opened a brand new park celebrating the Bison. What an amazing experience! The park has streams, waterfall that guests are encouraged to wade in and experience. There are several rock climbing features, slides, climbing nets ... An unbelievable experience for kids I would guess between the ages of 4 and 12, although I enjoyed hopping from rock to rock in one of the streams. There are also areas where you can grab a patch of grass so be sure to plan a picnic. I would also recommend bringing a second set of clothes because no kid can resist the water features. Also water shoes or sandals that can get wet would be a great accessory. And if you still have energy after the park, enjoy the walking trails. Kudos to Schaumburg for building a unique playing experience!

Cool cows
We spent the afternoon at the Volkening Heritage Farm. We saw all the animals, watched a volunteer feed an 8 wk old calf in arms reach, toured the barn and other buildings and hiked (very easy hiking) trails. It really is a beautiful (and huge) park for being right in the muddle of suburban Schaumburg. Our kids ages 9, 12, 14 had a great time. We spent about 2 hours here. You could easily spend more (or less) AND it's free!

Great outing for me and my 2 year old
This place was a enjoyable morning/afternoon with my 2 year old. We are visiting from out of state and needed something to do. Thankfully, the weather was beautiful and my son was able to run around and use up some energy and see a few things along the way. Specifically, he liked the ducks at the pond, seeing the cows eating inside just before milking, watching squirrels on the trail, seeing the chickens and playing in the play area in the gift shop area. I loved getting exercise and the beautiful paths and surroundings. There are so many little wooded trails and little bridges all over the property, as well as memorial benches to sit and have a snack on. We plan to come back and bring lunch another day to the designated picnic area right off the Schaumberg Road parking area! Grateful for TripAdvisor (and it's reviewers) to have found this little gem :)
