At Emily Oaks Nature Center

Skokie

"Don't stay too late, once the chipmunks come out you can be quickly out numbered"
"peaceful and serene, with lush greenery and a pond"
Dress for the weather, trails can get muddy

Send your kids on a real nature mystery: they'll earn a detective badge by tracking down hidden plants, identifying them, and piecing together how everything in the forest connects. It's part scavenger hunt, part science lab, and all outdoor adventure (with indoor backup if the weather turns).
