Nature Museum

Welcome to the Peggy Notebaert Nature Museum, where wonder is in our nature! For over 165 years, we have been connecting people of all ages to the beauty of nature and the wonders of science. With immersive exhibits, engaging family events, important conservation research, and educational programs, we inspire the wonder in all of us. Have you ever wondered how a butterfly gets its colors? Or how turtles hibernate? Perhaps you've questioned how birds know where to migrate each year.

At the Peggy Notebaert Nature Museum, we invite you to explore these mysteries and more. Our museum offers a variety of experiences, including group visits, school programs, and teacher professional development. With our extensive research and conservation efforts, we are dedicated to preserving the natural world and inspiring others to do the same.
