Location: Batavia, 40 miles west of Chicago

Join us for a fascinating journey into the heart of discovery at Fermilab, America’s premier particle physics laboratory and the world leader in accelerator-based neutrino research. Explore how scientists from around the globe are working together to unlock the deepest mysteries of matter, energy, space, and time.

But the adventure doesn’t stop there.  After our 2 hour tour and self-hosted lunch in the cafe, we can step outside and enjoy a walk through Fermilab’s stunning 6,800-acre restored prairie and see their iconic bison herd or visit Fermilab’s museum, Lederman Science Center, to further our understanding of Fermilab’s history and mission.  Come curious—leave inspired!
