Shedd Aquarium Fully Reopens on June 11th!

Last week the Shedd Aquarium reopened fully to the public. This is one of my favorite places to visit. There is a 1-year-old baby beluga and of course, the otters are a ton of fun to watch. All the walking will keep you feeling healthy too!

Don’t forget to sit outside and enjoy the beautiful Chicago skyline and Lake Michigan.

The Shrine of Christ’s Passion

Located in Indiana you won’t want to miss these amazing statues of Christ. You don’t have to be religious or a Christian to enjoy these pieces of art. They are so detailed and dramatic and there is still stuff for the kids to enjoy! Again, more walking is good for the body and soul. You can bring a basket full of fresh fruit or find a restaurant nearby.

Centennial Beach in Naperville

Right in the heart of downtown Naperville, you can enjoy a beach that was handcrafted in 1931. They have real sand and a beach PLUS a pool and tons of splash pads. There is also a grille with delicious food and you are within walking distance of the famous Naperville Riverwalk. More activities to keep you healthy this summer.

My marketing assistant personally loves the paddle boats and kayak rentals located directly across from the beach.

Children’s Farm at the Center

Pictured here is my Marketing Assistant’s daughter, a junior farmer at the Children’s Farm for 4 years. She stated it was the most magical place to take your child. They have all sorts of pigs, goats, bunnies (Juicy is the BEST), chickens, and horses on top of a veggie and herb garden. If you join their summer camp your child will even taste different herb varieties as they pick them fresh from the garden and bring home farm-fresh eggs. This place is educational, functional, and fun!
