VIRTUAL FIELD TRIP
Shake off the winter blues and join us for Freeze Fest at the Illinois State Museum!
Experience frosty fun indoors as you discover how frost forms, play in magic snow, and create your very own snow crystals. Unleash your creativity by painting with ice and test your engineering skills to see who can launch a snowball the farthest. After all the chilly excitement, warm up with delicious hot chocolate. Plus, meet our furry friends from the Henson Robinson Zoo from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. and learn how Illinois animals survive the winter.
