Reviewed By Lor018 - Morris, Illinois
Went to a couple of concerts in Feb. The Rialto remains a great place to attend a concert or probably anything. Beautiful setting, the performers express their high regards to the venue every time. It is good to see the recent good shows being scheduled here lately. We had a long drought there for awhile. Keep the good shows coming and people will attend. Everybody working there is friendly and helpful. Never a bad experience here.

This was a late Spring visit but many wildflowers were still in bloom. Unfortunately the bison herd was hiding from us and didn't get to see them. Staff at the Visitor Center were friendly and helpful. Lots of material to help you identify plants and birds.

My husband and I went here on a little date night. We got the package that includes the hayride, flashlight maze, and haunted corn maze. The line for the haunted corn maze was long, we waited about an hour. It was fun, worth the wait. Overall we had a great time, glad we went. I'd like to go back during the day as well.

The Abraham Lincoln National Cemetery is a reflective stop to think about the men and women who fight for our freedom. It was also an education for my friend from Spain. It was a meaningful stop on our Route 66 tour.

Nothing says fall like dollingers. We go here every fall and sometimes a few visits in one season. There's tons of pumpkins and farm animals places to climb or explore. On weekends they offer much more to eat and do. But we prefer a quick trip after school when the crowds are gone and you feel as if you are apart of the Dollinger family. We have visited every year for seventeen years. It's a must

Use to come here very frequently (twice a week) but have since stopped going when they are giving $5 comps and Hollywood is giving me $20. This really use to be my go to place, and I used to have really high regard for Harrahs....MoreThanks for the review. We have been adding new machines to the floor over the last few months and continue to plan to add more. We hope you find our selection better!

This is a throw back to the old days. It is located at the now closed Launching Pad fast food restaurant. I believe he statue was converted from a man holding a muffler to the space man. Notice the short sleeves.
8. Channahon State Park

Our outing in I llinois strarted off with a big letdown when we visited the mounds on the other side of town, so my expectations were not high when we followed the signs off hwy 6 to Channahon State Park. I am happy to report that my expectations were greatly exceeded. In fact, it blew my socks off (now my feet are sunburned) ! Ours was the only car in the parking lot when we arrived at the parking lot (no entrance fee). immediately our gaze was drawn to a bridge and a dam and the surroundings. The I M canal and trail converge in a watery maze here at the confluence of the Du Page and Des Plaines rivers. Besides walking or jogging the canal trail in either direction, Channahon has a fairly large tent camping area, rest rooms, drinking fountains, playground, picnic tabes, a veterans memorial, and plenty of Kodak moments. Take a few minutes to turn off either I 80 or I 55 to visit this park. You'll be glad you did.
