Springbrook Nature Center in Itasca is set to reopen Saturday with new interactive exhibits for visitors.
The center at 130 Forest Ave. closed on March 24 so it could be renovated and get the new exhibits. The interactive exhibits were created with Taylor Studios Inc., a Rantoul-based museum exhibit design company.
Now the village and the Itasca Park District are planning to celebrate Arbor Day with a grand reopening of the remodeled facility. The event, scheduled for 9:30 a.m. Saturday, will include a tree dedication.
