We attended a Peoria Chiefs game at Dozer Park. The food, the contests, the staff always make the trip to the ball field an excellent experience! The seats are super comfortable and the family promotions are fun! Definitely worth attending over and over again all summer long!

Interesting high quality sculpture art makes for a great walk around one of my favorite parts of the downtown area. I love the concept, I love that the sculptures change
6. Peoria Holocaust Memorial

In my view, Peoria Holocaust Memorial is excellently designed and perfectly maintained. Despite its small size and a corner location - at the south end of Peoria Riverfront Museum - it accomplishes what it is supposed to: it evokes memories of history, of the last World War, of brutal murder and elimination of millions of Jewish people. Peoria Holocaust Memorial was first installed at the Shoppes at Grand Prairie, but in April 2017 it was rededicated in this new location of SW Washington St, downtown Peoria. Six million buttons in eighteen glass columns in the shape of the Star of David, representing all those killed in concentration camps... and another five million buttons in triangular shaped cases, representing the groups of people who were killed opposing Nazism ... IT IS A MEMORABLE PLACE. Buttons representing awful loss of millions of lives. With recognition and gratitude to the Jewish Federation of Peoria, who developed and brought to life this meaningful project and this unforgettable Memorial.
