Party at the Peggy Notebaert Nature Museum in Lincoln Park



This year we planned our boys' birthday celebrations at The Peggy Notebaert Nature Museum in Lincoln Park.  The parties are getting too big for our house!  Our family has been members for a couple years so we thought it would be a good option.  The staff and coordinators made things really easy...especially the day of the party.  We pulled right up to the receiving area and carted all our party gear right up to our room.

We had a choice of several areas for the party.  We selected the northern most event room. My photos do not do the room justice...it is huge and bright.

The calm before the storm!

The view from the north room was fantastic!  This was the first visit to the museum for many of our guests and they really loved the facility and amazing location.

One of the terrific advantages for hosting a party at the museum is the guests receive free admission to the facility.  If the weather is decent, the kids can spill outside from the party room and explore the amazing grounds too.  The over-all price for hosting a birthday party - considering all that you get - is very reasonable.

We thank the folks at the Peggy Notebaert Nature Museum for a memorable day.  It was one of our favorite family events!
