Morton Arboretum - Lisle, IL

I have had this on my radar for years and heard many great things about the children's play area ...this was SO correct. Not only did my children have a great time, my husband and I did too. We definitely will return again and again. What I loved most is we really felt we were on an adventure and got away for the day. Truly I think spring, summer and fall would be the best times for visiting but if you like to walk/hike in the snow this would be an adventure too. Have fun and make a day of it with your kiddos and have a great time!! Visit www.mortonarb.org for more details. BTW, the trees are spectacular. There's plenty of great hiking, biking and lake areas for exploring - the place is HUGE!!
