Things To Do
Jarling's Custard Cup
Be sure to try their flavor of the week.
Krannert Center for the Performing Arts
Save time for a glass of wine before the show.
Tagore House
Now a chapel for a Unitarian church, this venue was the place of Rabindranath Tagore’s first public lecture in the United States. Tagore visited the area twice while his son attended school at UIUC during early 1900's. Now, the Annual Tagore Festival in Champaign is celebrated here. Tagore was a very influential Bengali writer/thinker/poet.
Allerton Park (and prehistoric mound cluster)
Allerton has picturesque nature trails, formal gardens, and a historic mansion house (tours sometimes available if you call ahead). Erin excavated here at a prehistoric site with a class of students last summer. The site can be spotted from the blue trail. We won't tell you exactly where, but the archaeologists may be able to spot it :P.
Krannert Art Museum (North Side)
Get ready for some really cool (and some pretty weird) stuff!
