A place where a kid can be a kid, Nature Center at Shaker Lakes in Cleveland offers just that with over 20 acres of nature. Just miles from downtown, the nature center offers free general admission. They provide families with a variety of activities, some of which have a fee. For example, Family Campfire Night is a fun-filled family activity with a fee of $30 per family, or $6 per person. It includes crafts, campfires, hiking, and of course, s’mores. Another paid event is the Bat Box Workshop. The $30 fee provides patrons the opportunity to help construct homes for local bats.
