Maple Syrup Festivals in and around Chicago 2019

By

At STEM Kids Chicago, we like our science on the sweet side and we love to get kids outdoors. Maple tapping can lead to discussion and discovery about biology, food chemistry, the environment, and climate. Here’s our list of family-friendly Chicago maple syrup festivals. You might also find a maple-themed program at a nature center near you between mid-February and late March.

Maple Sugaring at Kline Creek Farm on going through the months of March. Free; no registration required.
