Letchworth State Park Nominated for Inclusion in Kid-Friendly Destinations List

MOUNT MORRIS — Letchworth State Park, dubbed the “Grand Canyon of the East” by many of its visitors, is nominated for inclusion in Budget Travel’s “15 places every kid should see before 15” list.

Budget Travel is the same organization that named Hammondsport the “Coolest Small Town in America,” along with Beaufort, North Carolina, in a recent contest. In this latest contest, Budget Travel asked people to help them create a list of 15 places kids should visit before they turn 15 by nominating their favorite destination. According to the contest page, nominated places must be fun, educational, magical through the eyes of a child, and enjoyable for parents.

People may vote daily for their favorite destination through Feb. 28. The list will be published on www.budgettravel.com in March.
