Build a Bouquet — Downtown Naperville’s Mother’s Day Floral Stroll! 🍒
This Saturday, Downtown Naperville turns into the most beautiful flower market you’ve
ever walked through. The Downtown Naperville Alliance’s Build a Bouquet
floral stroll sends you on a guided route through downtown shops and florists, where
kids collect individual stems at each stop until they’ve assembled a full, gorgeous
bouquet — the perfect handmade gift for Mom on Sunday! Parents can sip, chat, and
enjoy the blooms while the kids get to be the hero of Mother’s Day. Check-in is at
the Downtown Naperville Alliance office at 144 W. Jefferson Ave starting at 10 AM.
Tickets sell out fast, so grab yours online before the weekend!

DuPage Wildlife Conservation Center — See Real Wildlife Up Close! 🦉
One of the coolest new spots to open in all of DuPage County this year, the
DuPage Wildlife Conservation Center is a brand-new, 27,000-square-foot
state-of-the-art facility dedicated to the care and rehabilitation of injured and
orphaned wild animals. Kids get to see real foxes, owls, hawks, turtles, and more
— all animals that are on their road to recovery and being cared for by wildlife experts.
There are interactive educational exhibits, an interpretive trail winding through
the Willowbrook Forest Preserve, and outdoor activity spaces that make this an
easy 1–2 hour family visit. It’s science, conservation, and pure wonder all in one.
Open this Saturday — perfect for a quick Mother’s Day weekend adventure!
