Fermilab

Awesome spot. Went here for open house and it was a great time! They were super organized; I mean, go figure - scientists and all. The food they had catered was really good with vegetarian options. Busses ran quickly and everyone seemed to know where to go. I highly recommend!

Fascinating lectures were held here when I lived in IL. I went several times during the time period of 2010-2015. I would go to the Storm Weather Seminars with Tom Skilling here. Place was always clean and gorgeous. Was always exciting to learn more about the world and the science behind it all!

More people should learn about this wonderful place. I wish I lived closer to take advantage of the programs that they offer for kids. When we went in it was a self guided tour but you get a very good idea of what they do and why they do it here. A lot of advances in science have been made at this facility. It was also interesting to see the CERN remote control center. Very cool building as well if you are into architecture too. I would strongly suggest checking this out.

We went for the family fair day and it was awesome. I had no idea all the events and programs they offer here.

Super cool place. Free tours and they treat it like an open campus you can visit. There are many artistic things to see and Buffalo on a farm. Many beautiful views from the 15th floor where you can do a self guided tour for free. There are also areas to fish and walk your dogs.

What more could you ask for. The cafeteria was plentiful and delicious. The lecture that was given upon astronomy and cosmology was well done and well informed. And the public tour was even better. Unlike a lot of other laboratories, Fermilab is completely public towards people who yearn for more knowledge.

The trails are still shut down "due to covid 19." You are greeted at the gate by armed guards.

This is the Pine St and Kirk Rd Entrance. There is a security booth were you'll get information regarding Fermilab, always visit their website before coming on site for events.

What a great place to tour. The docent was very knowledgeable. We even got to see the Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment underway.

Great place to spend the day. Top floor in the main building is now open to the public - you don't have to be with a tour. Bison are out often, lots to do and see especially in the warmer months. Plenty of prairie, woods and an activity center. Plenty is off-limits, but plenty is open as well. Lots of sculptures and cool looking buildings.
