A gorgeous nature center/trail that I've been going to since I was a child. Amazing place to walk solo, with friends, as a couple, or with kids! It's my favorite area to enjoy nature in the suburbs and it just feels a lot safer & more personal than Busse Woods, for example. Enjoy the cabin & the farm, too! So many cool areas to explore.
We took a small trip up to the city to watch my youngest sister graduate with her BSN. Unfortunately there wasn't a lot of places to take pictures, but looking in the area I found this place and I'm so glad we did. Such a great place to take pictures and if I ever come back to the area I would like to go hike the trails as well.
Always amazing time ! It’s an adorable little space , my kids love it 😍 fro clowns to chickens , River and farm houses . A lot of cute things. Also s amazing homemade ice cream for 2$
A beautiful nature center with a room of things to look at inside and beautiful gardens and trails outdoors. We stumbled upon a monarch butterfly release which the kids loved. The bison nature playground was great! Good sections of both wet and dry areas for play.
This is such a picturesque and tranquil park to escape from buzzing highways all around. Trails are well maintained and marked really well.
There is an amazing Bison Playground for kids, it’s not free though and fees are paid at the entrance kiosk (2 per person for a resident, 3 - for a non-resident).
The open farm museum is definitely worth a visit. The cabin has a little waterfall next to it and a pond.

Exploring the trails surrounding the Nature Center was a highlight of my visit. The trails wind through lush forests, picturesque meadows, and serene wetlands. I appreciated the well-marked paths and the variety of trail options, catering to different levels of fitness and interests.
The Heritage Farm was another highlight of my visit. It provided a fascinating glimpse into Illinois’ agricultural history. I had the opportunity to explore the historic farmstead, complete with authentic buildings and artifacts.
For the kids playground, the price for resident is $2, non-resident is $3

It’s just the perfect place where your kiddos can play around the nature.
Tips:
