About Stillman Nature Center
Nestled in the heart of the Chicago suburbs, the Stillman Nature Center is a hidden gem that offers visitors a chance to immerse themselves in the beauty of nature. This wildlife sanctuary is home to a variety of raptors, including owls and hawks, many of which have been permanently injured and are unable to survive in the wild. The center's staff and volunteers are known for their extensive knowledge and friendly demeanor, readily answering visitors' questions and providing guided tours. Visitors can explore the well-maintained trails, which offer scenic views and opportunities for photography. However, it's important to be mindful of the muddy conditions, especially after recent rainfall, and to take precautions against ticks in certain areas. Admission to the Stillman Nature Center is typically free, but on special occasions, such as Raptor Day, a small fee is charged to support the center's conservation efforts. Guests are encouraged to check the center's hours before visiting, as they may vary throughout the year. Overall, the Stillman Nature Center is a delightful destination for nature enthusiasts, offering a chance to learn about and appreciate the local wildlife in a serene and picturesque setting.

Absolutely great time! Birds of Prey sanctuary tour on Sundays 1-3pm is a entertaining and educational. $20 a car is a steal for a wonderful time for kids, families, bird watchers, or a date.
Highly recommended and I don't particularly like birds.
