Peggy Notebaert Nature Museum

Peggy Notebaert Nature Museum is located at 2430 N Cannon Drive, in between Fullerton Avenue and Lake Shore Drive West in Lincoln Park neighborhood.

Our conclusion, after visiting the museum is this - people get tired of shopping downtown when they are surrounded by concrete jungle all the time. This is a fact, not a myth, nor is it a marketing ploy to get people to visit more parks and nature-themed tourist attractions. Whether you are visiting Chicago in a rented charter bus or driving around on your own or perhaps you think moving around using the very reliable public transportation, one thing you will notice is this....Chicago is a bustling city and one can get tired of being surrounded by so much buzz. The solution to this burnout syndrome is really hit one of those so-called ‘nature-themed’ places, of course.

One such place that is absolutely noteworthy is a Chicago bus rental tourist attraction located just a stone’s throw away from downtown Chicago...Peggy Notebaert Nature Museum. People call it a museum, some call it a garden....let me tell you this....I call it haven. It’s heaven for kids, but it is a haven for those who are kids at heart.

The Chicago Academy of Sciences was founded way back in 1857 which was started and managed by curious scientists and curious nature-lovers. They lived to dig into what earth had to offer and whatever they found, they shared passionately in the museum. It had its humble beginnings, of course, with little funds and support but it slowly developed its reputation and started collecting more specimen over the years and it was more than decade or so after that that their work gained momentum and their passion and discovery was recognized. Today the academy have a stronger standing as a national and international leader for conservation and its amazing collection of citizen science. The difference between the academy and other bus rental Chicago museums is that the works that were done by the team directly benefit the public and is locally-related. Hence, it makes perfect sense to visit the museum during your travels if you want to see what is really relevant to Chicago locals.

On the lower level, you will have the nature’s haven in Chicago....a really distant world...away from the hustle and bustle of the city. And upstairs, there will be the butterfly room which is so serene and calming. We came forward looking for an event venue for a bus rental Chicago gathering and wedding reception and we can tell you that we absolutely fell head over heels in love with the museum.

For those of you who are not coming in with your own Chicago charter bus, parking is free on the streets outside, otherwise, if you opt for paid parking, it is kind of expensive but safer in a lot of ways.
