Fullersburg Woods Nature Education Center

Only at Fullersburg Woods can you take a walk, jog with your dog, ride your bike, cross-country ski, or hang out in our cozy nature center with free wi-fi. Whether you want to sit and study wildlife through a picture window or check out a nature backpack and head off on an excursion, Fullersburg Woods offers a single starting point with a lot of great endings — and smiles all around!

Fullersburg Woods Visitor Center provides an engaging, interactive introduction to the local environment. Visitors can explore the world of Salt Creek and its inhabitants and learn how to identify common birds and animal tracks. They can get up close and personal with the 13,000-year-old skeleton of a woolly mammoth or hike the trails to find creatures that call DuPage County home today. Visitors can also find answers to nature-related questions from the center’s staff of expert naturalists, who love talking about native plants and animals as much as they love learning about nature themselves!

Modern restrooms, a drinking fountain, and information on other DuPage County forest preserves complement the visitor center’s exhibits.
