The Chicago Park District is home to one nature center, the North Park Village Nature Center.
Located on the northwest side of the city, within the North Park Village complex, the North Park Village Nature Center includes a forty-six acre nature preserve and an educational facility. The nature preserve features trails that wind through woodlands, wetlands, praire and savannas. A discovery room, a hands-on table of natural objects and interactive displays are highlights of the Nature Center. Programs offered include public programs for pre-schoolers, school age children, families and adults; an eco-explorers summer camp and outreach programs.
Open from 10:00 am - 4:00 pm, 7 Days a Week, 362 Days a Year! (closed Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year's Day).
