Things To Do

Here are our recommendations for places to eat and visit while you are in the Joliet area. Downtown Plainfield is THE PLACE to explore for dining and drinks. It is safe, walkable, and a 10 minute drive from the hotels we recommend. Since the wedding is during Halloween season, there are plenty of seasonal things to do in the area. Adult and family-friendly options are included below our food recommendations.
