Time Out says

From prairie and river ecosystems to the biology of Ice Age–mammals, nature and its conservation, the focus at this Lincoln Park museum situated alongside a lagoon is vast and varied. Hands-on interactive displays on marsh and river ecosystems engage kids, while the thousand fluttering beauties of the 2,700-square-foot Judy Istock Butterfly Haven appeal to all ages.

What’s on

Butterfly Haven Yoga

If you’re craving a deeper kind of calm (and really, who isn’t these days?), try a 75-minute yoga session inside the Peggy Notebaert Nature Museum’s Judy Istock Butterfly Haven. Here, your vinyasa flow finds quiet company among hundreds of fluttering butterflies and the occasional exotic bird. After class, wander through lush flora and tropical trees that will make Chicago feel half a world away—if only for a little while. Just remember to bring your own mat, a water bottle and a mind ready to drift someplace lighter.
