Item Description

Have a playdate with nature at the Peggy Notebaert Nature Museum.  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. Sit like a statue, and a butterfly might land on you at the Judy Istock Butterfly Haven.  The possibilities for fun and learning are endless at the Peggy Notebaert Nature Museum. 

Founded in 1857, The Chicago Academy of Sciences was Chicago’s first museum. In 1999, the Academy opened the Peggy Notebaert Nature Museum in Lincoln Park to connect urban dwellers with our region's nature and science.  The Museum provides award-winning exhibitions and programs to 70,000 students annually and trains and provides resources for more than 2,000 Chicago teachers. The Nature Museum is one of the city’s best examples of eco-friendly building technology, including a green roof, solar panels, natural light sources and native landscaping. The Academy and its Museum are engaged in important conservation and research work, such as its Butterfly Restoration Project.
