Things To Do
Geneva
Take a stroll on 3rd Street, starting at the train station. If you are hungry, stop into some of our favorites including Burger Local and Preservation. Graham's Chocolate Shop has some nice treats. And, if you're into a little shopping, check out the Little Traveler.
The Morton Arboretum
We've been here a few times and have always enjoyed walking around this beautiful public garden. It's about 30 minutes away from St. Charles by car. Plan to spend a couple of hours.
Kane County Cougars
Corey worked for the minor league baseball team, the Kane County Cougars. They will be playing at home over the weekend. It's a fun laidback way to spend a few hours.
Pottawatomie Park
This is a pretty area for a walk. Or, grab a blanket and find a nice spot of grass and watch the Fox River flow by. If you want to do a picnic, pick-up a sandwich from Smitty's On the Corner (15 E. Main Street) and then walk 1/2 mile along the river to the park.
Third Street Station
Want to head into Chicago without worrying about a car? Head to the Geneva train station and hop aboard one of the Union Pacific West Metra trains into the city. Plan ahead!
Fox River Trail
If you want to get some steps in and enjoy some fresh air, hop on the Fox River Trail which runs along side the Fox River in St Charles. You can go south from St Charles to Geneva and on to Batavia, or go north to South Elgin. It's a really pretty trail.
Coroco Coffee
Need a morning coffee or a place to catch up on work over the weekend? This is a go-to for us. It's on 101 1st Street in downtown St. Charles.
Otter Cove Aquatic Park
Otter Cove has pools, slides and refreshments; perfect for a hot day in the middle of summer. And a great way to relax after a night of celebrating.
Brunch Cafe-St.Charles
A tasty place to grab potato pancakes, omelets, crepes, and more! Walking distance from Hotel Baker.
Alter Brewing + Kitchen
In the heart of downtown St Charles with a lot of outdoor seating right by the river. A good place to grab a drink and connect with your people.
