The Lederman Science Center, named for Nobel Laureate and former Fermilab Director, Leon M. Lederman, is located at Fermilab about 35 miles west of Chicago. Visit the Lederman Science Center to gain hands-on experience exploring how Fermilab physicists understand nature's secrets. The Center can accommodate groups of five or less on a walk-in basis. Larger groups must book a visit.
Two sites are available for self-guided tours at Fermilab. First, guests are welcome to visit the "Quarks to Quasars" exhibits at the Leon M. Lederman Science Education Center just west of Wilson Hall on Pine Street. Here you'll gain hands-on experience as you experiment with various exhibits. Walk-in visitors can use the Visitor's Guide to explore more than 30 experiments. Second, the Margaret Pearson Interpretive Trail is a quarter mile self-guiding nature trail through a portion of Fermilab's restored prairie. It is located on the north side of the Pine Street exit of the site.
A two-hour guided tour for groups of 10 to 40 is available by appointment.
