The Trailside Museum is a peaceful, beautiful place away from, yet close to, the hustle and bustle of every day life in the city and suburbs. Although we lived in Oak Park many years ago, we did not know this hidden gem was right in our backyard. Kudos to the knowledgeable staff inside the historic museum!

A nice way to experience a slice of the natural world. While the Trailside Museum no longer accepts injured wildlife for rehabilitation, the animals they do have are unable to be returned to the wild. So if you have qualms about supporting a zoo, this is a good way to see some animals up close. Plus it’s free.
There is a little space inside with some small animals and a few things to occupy little ones, so a good option on rainy/​snowy days. Especially for storytime and other programs. They also have changing tables for those aforementioned little ones.
Plenty of trails around here as one would guess from the name. Also a small pond with turtles and apparently fish from the common sight of anglers.
You can park in the lot on Chicago, or in a few street spots on Thatcher.

A small pretty nature center set in a big old Victorian mansion! I like visiting with the talking crow, and watching the caged coyote run around.
This place is especially nice to visit in the spring or fall because of the woodland wildflowers and intense fall color. They also have some good free nature programs, including bird walks and wildflower walks.
There is also some Geo-​caches in the surrounding preserve, so it is a fun break from a day of hiking and chaching through the preserves.

A friend and I went to eat and came across this museum, hidden away on the side of the road.
We entered and were surrounded by animals! There was a cute little turtle swimming around, birds –who i sympathized with because he had a missing arm :(and many other cool animals!
There was a really cute fox, which was my favorite, I wanted to squeeze him. This is a great place for kids and its donation based!

I love the Trailside Museum! As a kid, in the 50’s and early 60’s, I lived in Maywood and, entering on Madison, would ride my bike through the Forest Preserve to the slough and Trailside Museum. We always had a great time.
The last time I was there was in 2001 when I took my 3 kids there as teenagers. They thought it was pretty cool, especially the talking crow. While the «Museum» no longer function as Cook County’s wildlife rehabilitation center, they still had quite a few animals as residents in 2001.
Does anyone know if the talking crow is still there?

For my 100th review, Ladies and Gentlemen I’d like to tell you about a wonderful place in the Western Suburbs, the Trailside Museum. Trailside is part of the vast network of beautiful forest preserves in the near Western Suburbs. It’s just a hop skip and a jump from Chicago on Thatcher Ave in River Forest. I used to go there all the time when I was a kid. It’s not really a «museum» though they do have some exhibits about natural wildlife. I have a lot of fond memories of riding my bike here to the museum, and then on the trails in the area. The Trailside rescues and takes care of forest animals that are injured. If, for example, you found a bird that had a broken wing you’d bring it to the Trailside. A great place for kids and adults alike, and a very easy morning or afternoon adventure from the great city of Chicago!
