They have a cool wildlife area where you can look at the animals. They also have a ton of trails and old ruins from where an old family lived back in the day which is neat. But if you fall asleep in your car they will call the cops on you cause they think you somehow died in your car in a comfortable position.

Penitentiary Glen is truly a hidden gem! The grounds are beautiful in any season, offering great hiking trails, and playgrounds for children. The nature center has programs on many topics, and their rehab program for wounded animals is really interesting, giving kids the chance to see wild animals like raptors and foxes, up close and personal. They also offer guided hikes through the gorge, during which you can learn about the history of the area, and the Halle family (of Halle's Department store fame), who once owned the land that now comprises the park.

Definitely a really neat place. Visiting from out of state, March is very cold to explore here. Didn't spend as much time here as I'd have liked to.
