Winter Exhibits

Every year since 2005 the Lake View Nature Center has created a special Winter Exhibit during the months of February and March. Focusing on a different theme each year, these exhibits incorporate interactive displays, hands-on exploration, informative signage, and in some cases live animals to present the topic in a fun, engaging manner.

The exhibits are open to the public during regular Nature Center hours.

2012 Winter Exhibit
February 7 – April 1
(Closed March 5)

Step Into the Night
Explore the mysteries of the night!

This special exhibit will feature native nocturnal animals and their adaptations for survival at night.

• Feel for your food
• Listen to nocturnal neighbors
• Play in the bat cave
• Look out for skunks
• And more!

School groups are also welcome to schedule field trips.

Winter exhibit programs are available at a special rate of $3 per student. Topics include Nocturnal Animals, Bats, or Owls. Program includes a brief introduction to the exhibit and a craft project for each student to take home. Class will then explore the exhibit on their own.

Classes can also book a standard Community Group program that ties in to the exhibit. Fee of $5 per student is for a 1½ hour program that includes discussion, hands-on and visual explorations, stories, a craft project to take home, and an outdoor hike (be sure to dress for the weather). Suggested program topics include Animal Tracks and Winter Wonderland.

Please call (630) 941-8747 to book a group visit.
