D & W Lake Camping & RV Park
Campground
👍👍 We met 'Matt with the Hat' upon arrival. Great host. Campground is clean, quiet, well maintained. We will be back. But down to fishing business. The lake is an old borrow pit that looks ridiculously deep. Water clarity is good. Fished 6 lb. line with a stick worm. Caught a bunch of largemouth bass...

Japan House, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign
Cultural center
🫤 The garden looks very beautiful and peaceful. It is free to see the garden and I would give it 5 stars. However, I would never recommend their tea ceremonies. Although we had to pay $17 for the student tickets, which I would happily pay to attend a good tea ceremony, they were not even wearing tradi...

Middle Fork River Forest Preserve
Nature preserve
👍 We decided to check this place out because the website said you can see the night sky so beautifully here. Unfortunately there was a full moon so we didn’t get to see the sky as we had wanted to but it was still very stunningly beautiful at night as the moon illuminated the forest beneath it. The tr...

Filippo's of Mahomet
Italian restaurant
👍👍 I’ve been a fan of Filippo’s for years, but the crew in Mahomet is doing something truly special. Some of the nicest folks you’ll ever meet cranking out the best food in the county.
Every pizza I’ve had in the building or taken home has made me so genuinely happy. They even offer a take & bake opti...

Museum of the Grand Prairie
Museum
👍👍 What a nice stop! This museum is really great- It has a huge amount of Abraham Lincoln items and display, as well as prairie life themed ones. My personal favorite was the large Women's Suffrage wing of the museum! It had plenty of cool items and exhibits there from the 1800s to today. It had a nice...

Studebaker's Country Restaurant
American restaurant
😐 This was a very busy place at 1 PM on a Saturday. I get the idea that this place gets lots of locals and regulars. These ladies were buzzing around like bees🐝.
I've visited the other Studebacker's location a few times, and I was excited to visit this one as well.
The only reasons I am not giving th...

Kiser Lake State Park
State park
👍👍 It was a beautiful afternoon and evening! The water was calm and very few people were there. The fishing was a little slow, but I did catch about an 8 lbs. catfish that put up a nice fight.I released it after taking a picture. Very relaxing time overall!
