Northerly Island

This former airfield is now a beautiful park clinging to the edge of the lake. There is even a beach right by it! We spent the day hiking around and enjoying a picnic in the sun and had a totally alternative but great day out in the "city"!

31st Street Beach

I hadn't really considered that Chicago would have beaches, but it does! This was near our accommodation so we stopped by quite a few times. You get a park and a beach in one, which to my mind, is the way to do it!

Six Flags Great America

A great family-oriented day out, so much stuff to do, games to play and rides to go on our two younger boys were worn out by home time and we had the most peaceful evening that night! And our teenage daughter and her friend even enjoyed it too! Must be all the fear, some of the rides are really terrifying!

Wildlife Prairie State Park

posted by mjowers on 10 December 2010 at 17:00

Went here with the kids in tow and we had a great day, so many new animals to see and learn about they were enthralled. This huge park lets them have lots of space too which is always nice to see. There's so much to do you really need a full day, and even then if you get carried away you won't see it all.

Just outside Peoria, we were visiting relatives in Bloomington so if you want to go you could consider staying nearby
