Chicago is the best destination for a family vacation Illinois has to offer!  Fun, excitement, and educational opportunities everywhere you look. Close to downtown Chicago you’ll find one of the country’s most famous and beloved family attractions – the Medieval Times Dinner and Tournament. At 85,000 square feet, the Schaumburg, IL castle is the largest of the nationwide phenomenon’s eight castles, and is easily reached from Indian Lakes Resort. With 1,430 permanent seats, Medieval Times is open year round for a thrilling family experience.

One of Chicago’s most visited cultural institutions is the Field Museum, dedicated to the preservation and exhibition of science and history. The Field Museum is located on the Chicago Museum Campus, which also includes the Adler Planetarium and the Shedd Aquarium. The museum was first incorporated in 1893 to house the biological and anthropological collections assembled for the World’s Columbian Exposition. In 1905 it was renamed the Field Museum of Natural History to honor it’s benefactor, Marshall Field, and reflect its focus on natural sciences. The Field Museum is a must see stop for family vacations.
