It’s time to explore the itty bitty today – we’re looking for bugs! Join us for a micro-sized safari in search of creepy crawlies and learn all about what makes an insect look the way it does.
Let’s go outdoors! Each week during the summer, we’re learning an new skill to help us survive in the wilderness. No experience is necessary. Are you up to the challenge?
This week we're learning how to filter water and make it safer to drink!
We know different birds eat different foods, but now we have to get it to them! Join us in making bird feeders designed for a variety of songbird cuisine, and take them home for your own garden, porch, or balcony. All materials provided, and everyone leaves with at least two bird feeders!
Join us for an hour of animal fun! Each week we’ll learn about a different animal using games, art, animal artifacts (both real and replica), and more!
Ahoy, ye landlubbers! Join us as we play games and make art about whales, from the big to the (surprisingly) small.
This workshop is for children accompanied by an adult. Adults are expected to stay for the duration of the workshop – it is not a drop-off program.
Explore summer in the Discovery Garden! Enjoy hands-on activities led by our garden docents outside. Learn about native Illinois ecosystems and have fun playing in the garden!
