    Navy Pier image
    Opened in 1995, Navy Pier is a 50-acre scenic waterfront destination that’s home to countless restaurants, exhibitions, shops, entertainment, and more. Take a ride on the 200-foot-tall Ferris wheel, explore the interactive Chicago Children’s Museum, enjoy a free concert, or go on an art and mural hunt—all against the spectacular views of Lake Michigan and the Chicago skyline. Adrenaline seekers will love the speedboat tours; otherwise, unwind on a sightseeing cruise. Parking can be rather pricey, so it’s best to make your way there via public transportation. You'll likely pass by the pier on a cruise of the Chicago River. – Tripadvisor See more..

    Knight's Action Park & Caribbean Water Adventure image
    We’ve been coming to KAP for years and it never disappoints. Lots of stuff to do for little kids and big kids. Wednesday is the best day to go, BOGO with a County Market receipt! My kids, ages 15 and 24, like just about everything. I only do the lazy river, wave pool and adult pool. It would be nice if they offered shade over the lounge chairs next to the zero depth entry pool. People move those all over to find shade. The restrooms were clean when we first arrived early but were really dirty and no toilet paper or soap in the ladies restroom by closing time. Restroom checks all day would be nice. The new bar is nice. They have several offerings including strawberry daiquiris and margaritas. My daiquiri was $6.75 but had a fair amount of alcohol. Overall a fun place! See more..

    If you are looking for a zombie paintball hayride ....KEEP LOOKING i wanted to do something fun for my 10yr and 13yr old boys zombie safari is a big rip off first of all it is $22 to do it. Then first half of it is just zombie cutouts to shoot and there were only 4-6 real people to shoot. Then halfway through they stop for more paintballs and want $5 for more paintballs and your supposed to get 100 paintballs but I swear I only shot my gun probably 20times ...something seems shady Do yourself a favor don't stop here keep going See more..

    We took our twin granddaughters to Rainbow Falls this summer. They had a blast. We ended up taking them a second time in the same week. It has a good variety of activities for younger kids. Ours are 5 years old and not swimmers. They started at the kiddie pool, but when to the larger pool area when they gained confidence. Reasonable price if you are an Elk Grove resident. See more..

They have several smaller rides geared for younger kids. Our four year old grand daughter went on the small roller coaster well over 25 times.
