Help Wildlife
HELPING INJURED OR ORPHANED WILDLIFE
If you have found a seemingly orphaned animal, or an injured animal that is not in imminent
danger, before taking any action, contact The Illinois Department of Natural Resources
Northeastern Office at 847.608.3100. Many young animals might seem orphaned when the
parent is merely nearby but out of sight. If it is necessary to rescue an injured animal, do not
attempt to give it food or water without first obtaining guidance from the Illinois Department
of Natural Resources or another qualified expert.
Adult VIP
ADULT VIP BEHIND-THE-SCENES EXPERIENCE
The Wildlife Discovery Center can provide a unique experience for you and your friends: a
VIP tour of the facility. This is an opportunity to get “behind the scenes” and interact with
some of our most interesting animals. Whether you wish to make arrangements for an
intimate group, or incorporate the experience into part of a celebration or special event, we
can work with you to make it happen. Enhance a reception or cocktail hour with interactive
tours of the exhibits with trained staff.
Pricing is based on the number of staff members needed to provide support for
this 90-minute experience.
Please contact Rob Carmichael, Curator, to customize your ideal VIP Behind-the-Scenes
Experience at 847.810.3663.
Thank You!

ANIMAL ENCOUNTER PROGRAM
SPEND 30 MINUTES WITH THE ANIMAL OF YOUR CHOICE!
The Animal Encounter Program is a 30-minute experience that gives people an opportunity to have a close up and
safe encounter with one of our star animals. This is a unique experience between you and a friend, the animal keeper,
and the animal you choose. During this time, you will also learn how we care for the animal, how we interact with it,
and learn about its natural history. All funds generated from this program go directly back into supporting their care!
