Review:
For a great change from visiting museums and other indoor attractions you can bring the children to the Cascade Springs Nature Preserve for a pleasant outdoor adventure. The preserve lies in the heart of suburbia and seems an unlikely place to find an escape from the city but once you pass the parking area you will find yourself surrounded by 120 acres of green space, a nice family-friendly hiking trail, many trickling springs and a lovely waterfall. The hike to the waterfall is just less than two miles (there and back) and passes a moss-covered historic spring house, as well as remnants of some Civil War earthworks.
