Be A Tourist In Peoria This Weekend!

Posted on: Wed, 08/31/2011 - 19:55| By: GinaBina

People tend not to visit their hometown’s attractions, unless they have out-of-town visitors. You be the tourist this weekend! Peoria has some great attractions!

Forest Park Nature Center and Trails: Kids will love the live critters- spiders, snakes, turtles, and caterpillars. And, the dead critters- the displayed insects, stuffed animals, and animal bones. Forest Park has easy walking trails for kids to get excited about nature. You may spot the turkeys out there. Don’t forget your camera!
