Leap into the amazing and colorful world of frogs Nov. 5 when the Chicago Academy of Sciences / Peggy Notebaert Nature Museum
opens the awe-inspiring ex-“ribbit” Frogs: A Chorus of Colors.

Experience the astonishing diversity of colors to understand why frogs are among the most visually stunning and adaptively remarkable life forms on earth.
The hands-on, family-friendly adventure includes opportunities to glide like a flying frog on a mini-zip line, test your jumping skills against various frogs and play dress up in colorful frog costumes. Guests can also activate recorded frog calls, view frog videos, spin a zoetrope and perform a virtual dissection. Through these fun activities and spectacular frogs on display, families will better understand and appreciate this remarkable species.
