Things To Do

First and foremost, if you are an out of town guest, plan on bringing a swimsuit for Sunday after brunch!!! Jump in the lake, float on our llama floaties, sit in our hot tub and stare at the lake. However, if you are looking for fun things to do on Saturday prior to the wedding, check out our list!!!
Dockers

Dockers

33 West Grand Avenue, Fox Lake, IL 60020
, (847) 973-0033

This is where we live when we are not at our actual house. Chat up Delphina, Yolanda, Alex or Mario, let them know you are part of our crew if you go to the bar, they are our people.

Fams

Fams

112 Lakeview Avenue, Fox Lake, IL 60020
, (847) 629-5011

If you are looking for a fun, loud, waterfront bar, Fams is the hang for you! Filled with boaters on the weekend, we love the tunes (usually 90's early 2000's) and the staff. The wings and spicy cheese curds are awesome!

C.Y.O.C Create Your Own Cheesecake and Cheesesteak

C.Y.O.C Create Your Own Cheesecake and Cheesesteak

For a quick bite, though unhealthy, sooooo yummy, this is a fun place we like to grab takeout from. You can build your own cheesecake and cheesesteak. For those of you who know Charlie, cheesecake is his favorite food! Take your yummy eats across the bridge and enjoy at our waterfront park and watch the boats go by. If you have kids, this is a great playground as well.

Volo Bog State Natural Area

For a nice quick hike, head over to Volo Bog. Lots of wildlife and fairly well shaded.

Volo Auto Museum

Volo Auto Museum

27582 Volo Village Road, Volo, IL 60073
, (815) 385-3644

As seen on TV, the auto museum has some really cool cars from a variety of TV shows, they also have the old Showbiz Pizza gang, a dinosaur exhibit, and a few other very random things. We love the antique mall in the parking lot as well. Charlie likes to hunt for comics there, Lisa likes to hunt for her staging fun.

Chain O'Lakes State Park

Chain O'Lakes State Park

James Road, Spring Grove, IL 60081

This park has kayaks for rental, horseback riding, playgrounds, hiking trails, all sorts of fun stuff. We haven't explored this park much but have heard awesome things and plan to do so soon!!! This would make for a fun Saturday morning. Here's the link to Gill's for kayak rentals https://boatinglakecounty.com/directory/gills-at-chain-olakes-state-park .
