Summertime offers an endless amount of activities to participate in — rain or shine. Here are some of our favorites to wrap up Summer in the Chicago Northwest area!
Arlington Heights
If you’re in need of a place to go when the weather is less than ideal, look no further than Thrown Elements Pottery in Arlington Heights! Take a seat and let all your creativity come out. From creating your own pottery to painting pre-made ceramics — there is something for all ages. Choose between open studio time or be a part of a scheduled class, whichever works best for your schedule!
Elk Grove Village
Who doesn't love a movie night? Grab popcorn and snacks when you watch today's hit movie at Classic Cinemas Elk Grove! Did you know that they offer free refills on popcorn and drinks? Comfy reclining seats (they are heated too!) give you the comforts of home while enjoying a blockbuster movie.
Itasca
Head to Itasca and check out The Ray Franzen Bird Sanctuary! The nature center is home to walking trails for bird and wildlife viewing, a dog park and a boardwalk! The nearly 12 acres of land offers a grilling area, a patio and a play area for children. As long as weather permits, you have a fun day planned!
Rolling Meadows
What's better than taking a stroll on a path? Walking and reading! The StoryWalk in Rolling Meadows offers a unique reading and recreational experience. Follow the book from the Community Center to the Rolling Meadows Library. The story changes every season!
Roselle
Hit the rink at Coachlite Skate Center in Roselle! With a combination of the hottest music and a great light show at a reasonable price — this is a place you won’t want to miss! Bring your own skates or rent a pair.
Schaumburg
Taking pictures is a blast when you have Selfie WRLD! Located in Schaumburg, this #1 trending selfie museum is a must visit.
