EARN SCOUT BADGES

The Wildlife Discovery Center is qualified to help Boy Scouts meet the requirements for the Reptile and Amphibian Study Badge . We can also help Boy and Girl Scouts meet some of the requirements for other merit badges , including :

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 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 .
