5 Things to Do: February 27-March 1

Say goodbye to February and hello to March this weekend with these events.

Begin by exploring the skies at Heller Nature Center before visiting the Peggy Notebaert Nature Museum for a day of discovery. You can also visit another favorite Chicago museum for a murder mystery scavenger hunt.

Looking for a nice evening out? Don’t miss your last chance to dine and save during North Shore Restaurant Month. And while that ends, another annual event all about turning off the TV begins.
