Northern Illinois is full of things to do, despite the occasional, "there's nothing to do here" complaint.

SOMETHING FOR EVERYONE

It doesn't matter what your age is because everything on this list is for literally every age group. You're only as old as you act, right?

DON'T BREAK THE BANK

Sure, some of the attractions on this list may have an admission fee or require the use of some money, but there are a lot of free options too. Activities like hiking, biking, or just getting a great view of nature's wonders are all wallet-friendly things to do.

LET'S PLAY A GAME

Here's what we would love for you to do:

  • Give yourself 1 point for each of these you have been to.
  • Add an (*) next to each point if you've been there both as a child and have also taken your own kids there.
