LINCOLN PARK — The Peggy Notebaert Nature Museum is offering free admission Thursday to Chicago Public Schools students.
The museum, 2430 N. Cannon Drive, normally costs $6 for children between 3-12 years of age, $7 for students and seniors and $9 for adults.
Be sure to check out the live box turtle feeding, which kicks off at 1 p.m. An hour later, the butterflies will be released at the Judy Istock Butterfly Haven.
Kids can use the museum's storm simulator and find out what it's like to be a meteorologist in front of a green screen.
Visitors are also encouraged to check out the museum's art exhibitions, including one on the birth of chocolate and one on birds that collide with Chicago's skyscrapers.
