Independence Grove Off-Leash Dog Area
Dog park
👍👍 This was our first time here after buying the yearly membership for the county parks. We had been to a couple others but this one was the best by far! The dogs loved playing in the water and the trail around it was pleasant and not too muddy. We live in the city so this is such a nice change for our...

Jones Island Park
Park
👍 Beautiful park with a playground, volleyball court, the lake and a shelter area with some benches. They just seriously need to build a true bathroom area with maybe a water station because to have one portapotty for this park area is just sad, and Grayslake pulls in enough taxes for it.

Lindenhurst Park District
Park
😐 The facilities are very nice. A lot of little kid programs. But went for toddler open gym. Had very few toys and games for a paid program ($3). My 2yo kid got bored in less than an hour. I would recommend Grayslake ($3) or Wauconda's (free) over this one.

American Eagle
Roller coaster
👍👍 Great roller coaster and arguably one of the icons at this Six Flags. Rides rough and bumpy due to its age but it's still a blast. Highly recommend you ride on the last cart. When you go down the first hill, you'll get a small second of freefall which is pretty cool.
