Creek Bend Nature Center in St. Charles offers adventures for kids

The Forest Preserve District of Kane County invites the public to come celebrate the official opening of the latest addition to Creek Bend Nature Center — the Tallgrass Prairie Adventure exhibit.

The Kane County Forest Preserve District’s “Little Saplings” series invites 3-5 year olds and their caregivers to embark on a monthly journey through the wonders of the natural world.

Each month, we’ll explore the world through a variety of activities specific to the theme of the month. Sessions include a combination of stories, nature hikes, songs, games and/or crafts.
