CHICAGO HERPETOLOGICAL SOCIETY
CHICAGO JUNIOR HERP SOCIETY
The CJHS is about sharing the love of "herps" (amphibians and reptiles) with the younger generation, and fostering an appreciation of wildlife and nature through educational speakers and hands-on interactions.
The goal of the CJHS is to establish a learning environment where younger kids are mentored by older kids with knowledge of reptiles and amphibians—under adult supervision—in the beautiful museum setting.
The regular monthly meetings of the Chicago Junior Herpetological Society take place at Chicago's newest museum -- the Peggy Notebaert Nature Museum.
This beautiful new building is at Fullerton Parkway and Cannon Drive, directly across Fullerton from the Lincoln Park Zoo. Meetings are free and open to the public. Meeting dates are listing in our page "Speakers Calendar".
The Chicago Jr. Herp Society meets the first Sunday of every month at the Peggy Notebaert Museum at noon. The museum is located at 2430 N Cannon Dr Chicago IL, 60614
Parking and Public Transportation
Free parking is available on Cannon Drive and also across Fullerton in the Lincoln Park Zoo lots (these lots may charge during the summer months).
A plethora of CTA buses stop within easy walking distance. You can obtain train and bus schedules and maps directly from the Chicago Transit Authority web site.
