Bourbonnais, IL – Families planning to visit Exploration Station in Bourbonnais will need to adjust their schedules, as the children’s museum is set to close temporarily for its annual maintenance period.
According to the Bourbonnais Township Park District, the facility will be closed from Wednesday, August 20, through Saturday, August 30, 2025. The closure allows staff to prepare for the upcoming fall season with updates, cleaning, and new activities.
The museum, a popular destination for hands-on learning and family-friendly exhibits, will reopen on Tuesday, September 2, at 10 a.m. Park district officials said guests can expect fresh updates when the doors open again.
Exploration Station has long served as a community hub for interactive education, welcoming children and families from across Kankakee County and beyond. The brief closure is a standard part of its yearly operations, giving staff time to refresh exhibits and ensure the building is ready for another busy season.
During the shutdown, the Bourbonnais Township Park District encourages families to take advantage of its other outdoor amenities, including parks, trails, and recreational programs.
