Illinois
Welcome to Illinois with its rich historic heritage, a spectacular
national forest, and great rivers, lakes and most importantly,
our people.
A state as broad as Illinois has many attractions. Just the southern
region alone can capture your imagination. From the famous Giant
City State Park in Makanda with it’s horse-friendly trails
and excellent fried chicken dinners to the Metropolis Sports Park
boasting the only public skateboard facility of it’s kind
in the entire region, travelers will never be far from the next
opportunity to head down a promising trailhead or slip the boat
into fresh, abundant waters. The fall months offer especially colorful
scenery in Southern Illinois, owing to our prolific deciduous forests
and enormous array of wildflowers.
Completely opposite on the spectrum, Illinois is home to one of
the most culturally rich urban centers in the world, Chicago. Chicago
is an American cultural capital. Visit a world-famous museum, discover
emerging artists in local gallery districts, or experience our
performing arts scene including some of the best live theatre in
the country. Chicago's architecture, unparalleled attractions,
legendary sports and vibrant neighborhoods inspire and delight
visitors. Whether explored by foot, motor coach, trolley or boat,
there's only one city that tours like this. Truly Illinois’ crown
jewel, Chicago should not be missed.
