The laboratory grounds offer an ample supply of open country for various recreational activities. From picnicking on our restored prairie to bicycling on our series of trails, you will find Fermilab's campus to be an endless source of outdoor enjoyment.
Here is a list of some of the recreational activities Fermilab has to offer:
Sports
Biking, hiking, fishing, cross country skiing, rollerblading, canoeing and ice skating
We attended the Wonders of Science Show here last weekend. The show was put on by 3 high school science teachers, and was billed as a "fast-paced" show for second graders and above. My 2nd grader was definitely more engaged than my kindergartener. It was much slower-paced than I had thought it would be. I think it is definitely more interesting for kids at least in 2nd grade, if not older. The price was right, though - $4 per ticket. I wouldn't drive out again from Park Ridge for just the show, but I would definitely come back on a nice day to see the bison herd and take advantage of the hiking/biking trails, which looked great, and picnic areas.
