Stillman Nature Center

Nature preserve

👍 I give this place a 4 of 5 only because it is a little run down. The reason for this though is it is non profit and run by volunteers which they need more of and anything can be amazing when community comes together. When you arrive at the entrance, you're not sure if it even is open. There are al...

Westchester Migratory Bird Sanctuary

Wildlife refuge

👍👍 Love the santuary! It is a regular destination of mine for walks. It's so peaceful I can spend hours there. I love to watch the sky turn pink, while listening to the animals and birds talk amongst themselves.

Zona Wildlife Sanctuary

Wildlife refuge

👍👍 1.3 mile well-marked, well-developed, twisty–turny trails. Great place for kids to learn how to hike with short, medium, and longer trails. Lots of space in the woods to explore off-trail. Couldn’t find much poison ivy which makes it better than most trails around here. Several benches and three pi...

Dean Nature Sanctuary - Oak Brook Park District

Nature preserve

👍👍 This is a beautiful preserve in a ridiculously fancy neighborhood. It also contains a kayak/canoe launch into salt creek and is along the salt creek trail. There is a good sized gravel parking lot with an accesible portapotty and tons of informational signs. The paths are wide and well maintained cr...

Gurnee Park District

Park

👍👍 Dive into fun at Gurnee Park District’s Hunt Club Park Aquatic Center! With slides for thrill-seekers and a spray ground for the little ones, it’s a splashin’ good time for the whole family. Safety is top-notch, so you can relax and soak up the sun. Come make a splash!

Heidecke Lake State Fish and Wildlife Area

Wildlife refuge

👍👍 It"s a beautiful place for fishing if your lucky. But hopefully those people that fish there take good care of their trash. Please respect the wildlife and your fellow fishermen. Be responsible for your own trash. Mexican beer bottle and cans was being seen around. Empty bait containers, cigarette b...

Arthur L. Janura Preserve

Nature preserve

Serene forest preserve offering paved & unpaved trails for walks, hikes, biking & wildlife viewing.

Big Run Wolf Ranch

Wildlife refuge

👍👍 My son is in love with Wolves if we could go every day he would make me, it’s smaller then I thought it would be but you can tell the animals are loved and taken care of. It’s great if you have a child with special needs that has sensory issues as it’s not over stimulating and you can arrange small...

Joe Orr Woods (Cook County Forest Preserve)
