FAMILY FUN GETAWAY FRIDAY EVENING
Check in to your room at Pheasant Run Resort & Spa (St. Charles). This family- friendly resort offers something for everyone. Enjoy a casual dinner at their Jambalaya Restaurant, followed by time at the arcade and an ice cream for the kids on “Bourbon Street” while you enjoy a cocktail at the lobby bar.
SATURDAY MORNING
Start your day with a guided tour of The Morton Arboretum (Lisle) on the Acorn Express for a panoramic view of the 1,700 acres of breathtaking gardens, woodlands, wetlands and prairies. The whole family will enjoy spending time in the Children’s Garden. Take a walk through the Maze Garden, and climb the 12-foot high lookout platform built around a 60-foot tall sycamore tree for a bird’s-eye-view of the maze. Don’t forget to stop by the gift shop in the Visitors Center for some unique mementos of your trip to DuPage.
SATURDAY AFTERNOON
Enjoy lunch at the S.M.A.R.T. Café at the DuPage Children’s Museum (Naperville)—the first of its kind in Illinois—that combines science, math, art, reading, technology and healthy eating in a fun way.
From the museum, it’s a quick drive to downtown Naperville where you can spend time exploring the Riverwalk and take a paddleboat ride around the quarry. If it’s a really hot day, bring your suits and cool yourselves off at Centennial Beach.
SATURDAY EVENING
Plan for a night of food and fun at Enchanted Castle Restaurant & Entertainment Complex (Lombard), where the kids will love the laser tag, arcade games, and indoor rides.
SUNDAY MORNING
Check out of your hotel and enjoy a family-friendly meal at the Water’s Edge restaurant at the Hyatt Lodge at McDonald’s Campus (Oak Brook). You’ll love the scenic beauty that surrounds you and the kids can tell their friends that they were on the campus of McDonald’s Hamburger University.
SUNDAY AFTERNOON
Your family getaway would not be complete without a trip to world-famous Brookfield Zoo (Brookfield). Don’t worry about the weather. They’re open year-round and have plenty of amazing indoor exhibits.
GALS GETAWAY FRIDAY EVENING
Check into your Oak Brook area hotel to claim all the goodies and discounts you’ve earned by booking that shopping package you found at
DiscoverDuPage.com. Have the free hotel shuttle drop you off at Oakbrook Center, where you’ll find a wide variety of restaurants for your dining pleasure.
SATURDAY MORNING
Get ready for a fully loaded “shop-til-you-drop” kind of day. Since you’ve already had a chance to case the place, make Oakbrook Center your first stop. But pace yourself. There are 160 upscale stores and restaurants to choose from, and it’s just your first stop!
