As Chicago’s outdoor season draws to a close, extend your stay in nature with Backyard Adventures at the Peggy Notebaert Nature Museum. Kids can investigate what their favorite backyard critters do after dark with night vision, play dress up to see a bee's eye view of the world, dig through the "dirt" in an augmented reality garden bed, and even play a round of Garden Golf! Interactive games like Nectar Collector, Plant vs. Insect, and the Giant Pumpkin Bonanza game show will keep visitors of all ages engaged as they explore the unseen nature that surrounds them.
