Wildlife Prairie Park

Grandview Drive
Listed on the National Register of Historic Places, Grandview Drive is a two and a half mile scenic road with adjacent park areas through Peoria and Peoria Heights, Illinois. Take in the sweeping views of the Illinois River valley and all the historic homes!
Peoria Riverfront Museum
Be sure to check out what exhibits are showing, what movies are playing on the Giant Screen Theater and the beautiful Planetarium shows at the Riverfront Museum! A fun way to spend the afternoon downtown.
Leaves 'n Beans Coffee
This is one of our favorite local coffee shops - and where Maddy did a lot of homework in college! Located in a historic house, this coffee shop roasts their own beans (with many different flavors), has a nice tea selection and lots of fun specialty drinks. They also have breakfast and lunch options.
One World
A Peoria classic, this yummy casual restaurant has great brunch and lunch options. We recommend the coffees, cocktails, pizzas and spinach artichoke dip! Really everything is delicious!
