Welcome to the Century Park Classroom. This outdoor classroom is
a scaled representation (1 foot ~ 20 miles) of the State of
Illinois. In its pathways, plantings, and wildlife, part of the
story of the Illinois landscape and its ecosystem is told.
As you walk the trail keep an eye out for state symbols such as
our state insect, the Monarch butterfly, our state tree, the White
Oak, our state bird, the Cardinal, or our state flower, the
Violet.
The park is open from dawn to dusk.
