Residents and visitors of our great state of Illinois know that the winters here can be long and hard. While it's the ideal time of year to put on your coziest clothes, snuggle up on the couch with a book or a movie, and watch the frightful weather from the comfort of your warm house, let's face it, if we did that ALL winter, we'd be inside for a very long time!
The chilly temperatures should not be an excuse not to try new things and explore new places. Quite the contrary; when it comes to having a good time in the colder months, people in Illinois know how to make the most of it!. Take Darien, for example - there are so many fun activities for you and your family to enjoy, which are sure to take the winter blues away and have you truly enjoy the season, not just get through it.
Here are just a few of the many great activities you can enjoy with your family in Darien:
Visit Cypress Grove Family Aquatic Park
Enjoying a day by the pool isn't exclusively a summer activity in Darien! From flumes to waves, to slides and tubes, water fun comes in all shapes and splashes at Cypress Cove Family Aquatic Park! Kids and parents of all ages can enjoy this family waterpark, where thrills and spills await! The beach is waiting at MudBug Beach, where little ones can build a sandcastle or tickle their toes in this sandy play area.
Go to Haunted Trails Family Entertainment Center
Located in the heart of Burbank, Haunted Trails is 3.5 acres of fun, where the whole family can find something for them, with fun activities and attractions for all ages. On the Trails Raceway Go-Karts, you can get your motor running and those competitive spirits flying as you take on the twists and turns of the raceway course. For the younger kids in the family, don't you worry because the Jr. Speedway Go-Karts are perfect for you! Here, you can test those skills on the kid-size track and see what it's like to be a famous racecar driver, with the crowd cheering as you make it across the finish line first! But, the adventures don't stop there! The mini-golf at Haunted Trails is an award-winning 18 hole golf course, where you can tackle those fun obstacles as you try and get under par, or even a hole in one every time!
Visit the Brookfield Zoo
Open daily with over 200 acres of animals from around the world and exhibits that capture the mind, what wouldn't kids and their families want to do at the Brookfield Zoo? Dolphin shows, feeding exotic (but safe, don't worry) animals, and pure wonder of being amazed by the largest animals on the planet. These experiences aren't just fun, but they'll make memories that'll last a lifetime. The zoo has a big job, keeping people and the animals safe. Reserved timed tickets are required.
But all of these activities are sure to make you and your loved ones hungry! That's where Chiba Japanese Restaurant comes into the picture; we are the perfect destination for hungry Darien explorers throughout the year! Chiba offers delicious dining, takeout, and delivery.
