Pumpkin Carving

Bring your family for an evening of creative autumn fun! You can carve your own pumpkin if you bring one, or register ahead to receive two free pumpkins for your family. All the carving tools you'll need are provided, so just show up ready to get creative. This is a great activity for anyone who enjoys hands-on seasonal projects, from young kids to seniors. After everyone finishes carving, stick around to see all the jack-o'-lanterns glowing together by candlelight while you enjoy marshmallows by the fire. The event will happen outdoors under a shelter, though if weather turns rainy or cold, it'll move inside instead. Registration is required and opens on September 1st. For questions or to sign up, call the Nature Realm Visitors Center at 330-865-8065 (they're open Wednesday–Saturday 10 a.m.–5 p.m. and Sunday noon–5 p.m.).
