Starting in spring, countless spiders make their way up Chicago high-rises. Here's why.

Notebaert museum officials are part of a collective effort to save the Blanding's turtle.

This year's Chicago Volunteer Expo will be held at the Peggy Notebaert Nature Museum.

The exhibit, which will kick off Oct. 1., includes artwork depicting urban animals like dragonflies.

The exhibit highlights scientific and natural subjects tackled in the iconic Peanuts comic strip.

Free days, discounts and plenty of activities are planned for the week starting Oct. 1. 

The museum's exhibits, including the butterfly haven, will be open until 7 p.m. for the event.

James Prosek is set to appear at the Nature Museum.

There's a mess of activities happening at the Peggy Notbaert Nature Museum Wednesday.

The market will be held on Saturdays inside the Peggy Notebaert Nature Museum.

Learn about urban foraging, celebrate the summer solstice or laugh your face off at a comedy show.

See an animal show at the museum, catch a show at Lincoln Hall or hit up a comedy competition at Zanies.

And learn which local bar and grill is celebrating National Tater Tot Day on Sunday.
