Double J Riding Club Animal Programs

Located on a beautifully landscaped 6 acres just outside of Chicago, Double J Riding Club provides a safe and engaging learning environment for animal and nature lovers of all ages. Our programs are designed to supplement your curriculum in a fun and educational way. Through our outdoor classroom, children and adults make meaningful connections to real-world topics through live animals, science, arts, horticulture, and other exciting hands-on experiences.

Live animals are a powerful way to capture children’s attention, spark curiosity, inspire imagination, encourage compassion, and introduce important science concepts. All of Double J’s programs include hands-on interactions with a variety of animal species, creating memorable experiences that are both educational and fun. Each program is interactive, educational, and designed to spark curiosity, encourage questions, and foster a deeper understanding of the animal world.
