Spring Break Ideas for Chicagoland: Within 2 Hours Driving Distance

Spring Break is fast approaching and I know many of us are looking for easy driving trips that are not too far from Chicagoland, so here are my top two recommendations.

Timber Ridge Lodge & Water Park
📍 Lake Geneva, WI
💦 Family-friendly waterpark with lots of options for kids, especially younger kids.
🍔 On-site dining options including poolside eats
🎨 Arts & crafts for kids
🛏️ Rooms are spacious and equipped with kitchens

Grand Bear Resort
📍 Utica, IL
🌊 Waterpark with several pools to swim in, water slides, and lazy river
🏨 Lodging options ranging from hotel rooms to a full townhome or cabin
🍕 Casual dining options on site
🌳 Located near several beautiful state parks
⛳️ Mini golf, arcade, and playground on site

Both of these are great resorts for a quick family getaway.

Have you been to either of these resorts? What would you add?

🍽️‼️ New restaurant alert is opening today March 6 in and yes, this is the same Purple Pig as the one downtown.

What makes it stand out:

🍴 James Beard award-winning chefs with an elevated menu, including their bold shareable plates and housemade charcuterie boards
🍽️ Over 11,000 square feet of indoor dining space and a patio available in the warmer months
🍷 Curated wine list and unique cocktails
☕️ To-go market with a full coffee bar, sandwiches, pizza, and sweet treats, plus a cozy sitting area
🍖 Private dining available
🅿️ Valet parking available

I think The Purple Pig is the perfect addition to Oakbrook and I recommend it for an elevated dining experience.
