About this activity

You don't have to leave a city like Chicago to connect with nature and learn all about the amazing natural beauties we have in this world!

The Peggy Notebaert Nature Museum is an amazingly popular place for kids to visit - it's actually one of the city's most visited! Nature and science come alive, and a number of fun and interesting exhibits are waiting to be enjoyed.

The exhibits themselves cover a range of topics which will fascinate and educate all visitors - no matter what age! 

Do you love those colorful butterflies that flutter around you with their delicate wings? The Jusy Istock Butterfly Haven is a place where kids can stand spellbound as they experience a butterfly just emerging from it's chrysalis from the very first time. With over 1,000 butterflies, it's an amazing tropical retreat! 

You might be in Chicago, but that doesn't stop you exploring the rainforest! With multi-sensory exhibits, kids can learn all about the rainforests, and most importantly how people can make a difference in saving them. You might even encounter a rainforest animal or two!

For those little kids, the hands-on habitat allows them to explore the secret world of animals homes. From an underground cave to a giant roped spider web - they will be busy climbing, crawling and learning! 

The Peggy Notebaert Nature Museum covers natures food, birds, the environment and even outdoor exploration - just to name a few!

Surround yourself in nature in the middle of a city - it's a wonderful family day out!
