Complete your end of summer bucket list!

Now that summer is drawing to a close, you're realizing that you still have things left on your bucket list. Here's a few local ideas to check those last boxes.

Hodgkins Splash Pad

Newly Opened BORSE PARK in Willowbrook. This park looks like a great find for any day. A fun playground for big kids & toddlers, plus a splashpad to cool off in during these hot August days.

The HODGKINS SPLASH PAD & PARK! This is a hidden jem that is just a couple minute drive! With Spray options and dunk buckets, this place can definitely cool you down on a hot day.

GO APE! Who knew there was a zipline course and ropes course in the forest preserve in the town next door?!? What a great adventure for the family with options for all ages since there are 3 different courses!

Take a drive to the INDIANA DUNES BEACH! Looking to get away from town for a few hours, then the Indiana Dunes & Beach is a great way to stay close and get away at the same time.

Fishing, playing, and splashing at WILLOWBROOK POND! This Park & Pond have so much to offer on a summer day.

Grab an easy summer dinner & treat at HIGHLAND QUEEN before they close for the season! Yum all around!

Pool hop on over to SEA LION AQUATIC PARK in Lisle. Totally worth the drive if you and the family are looking for bigger waterslides, a pool, splashpad, lazy river and more!

Grab a movie at THE LA GRANGE THEATRE and escape the heat for the day. A great way to take a break during the week is to sit back and relax in the comfy recliners at the LG Theatre and watch a new movie.
