Super Saturdays at the Museum: Are We There Yet? Migrating Monarchs

• Location: Illinois State Museum, Springfield, Springfield
• Date: Saturday, September 14, 2013, 11:00 AM - 3:00 PM

Every fall, monarch butterflies fly thousands of miles to spend the winter in the forests of Mexico. Learn about the lifecycle and migration of Illinois’ State insect during a fun and engaging event. Children will make a migration mobile, play a life-cycle game, and learn how they can help scientists study these amazing creatures.

Bring the whole family to Super Saturdays at the State Museum!
