Your Day At The Museum

Discover the Peggy Notebaert Nature Museum

 

Experience a gateway to the natural world. Get your hands wet as you learn about Chicago's waterways and the organisms that reside within them. Touch live animals found in Illinois wetlands. Let your imagination run wild as you walk among Wilderness Walk and our restored native prairie. Escape to a Haven fluttering with exotic butterflies and stunning bird species. The possibilities for fun and learning are endless at the Peggy Notebaert Nature Museum.
