GREAT ESCAPE
region: Chicagoland
interest: Family/Play
Tired of the everyday routine? Then escape with a getaway that is anything but ordinary. See polar bears on a warm summer’s day. Walk through a life-sized Lego exhibit. Journey back to the 11th century to see gallant knights joust on horseback. And grab a bite to eat in a make-believe rainforest. Along the way watch in delight as the kids—dare we say—learn something new about the big world around them.
Local Flavor
