Marshall Park - Elk Grove Village

Waterfall Glen Forest Preserve - Darien
history museum in elmhurst should be a place next time you go to downtown elmhurst. not far from the heart of the town and cool to look at the history!
Elmhurst History Museum - Elmhurst
im looking to spend money today!
perfect for ages 2-9, adults are free, and tickets are $10-$15
Pirates' Cove Children's Theme Park - Elk Grove Village
a bit pricier but there is an amusement park and a water park there. I would describe it as a step below six flags, great place for thrill seeking 5-10 year olds
Santa's Village - East Dundee
zip lining, rock climbing, ropes course and more! so so much fun, great for pre teens! due to location, I highly recommend bringing bug spray with you!
The Forge: Lemont Quarries - Lemont
Perfect place to go when you want to go out but the weather is less than ideal. For ages 6 and under. KIds under 6 months are free!
Marshmallow play - Elmhurst
Super clean and fun place for your kids! Go during the week since admission will be cheaper. Best for ages 1-10.
