FEATURED EVENTS

To reframe how we see trash and to keep Elgin beautiful, the Parks Dept is hosting a Trash Art Contest. Everyone, child to adult is encouraged to participate in one of our age brackets for our contest to see who can best turn trash in to treasure! You can create a collage, sculpture, jewelry, whatever your heart desires so long as it is made from 90%+ recycled materials.

Round up your team, grab a smartphone and set off on the ultimate scavenger hunt! This one is a real puzzler — search for answers hidden throughout the museum. Solve the crossword or word search puzzle and discover your favorite Science Mill exhibit along the way, including the newest exhibit, the Scrambler, a giant 12-piece, 48-sided puzzle! The nonprofit museum has over 50 hands-on exhibits for visitors of all ages.
