Things To Do
Fat Rosie's Taco & Tequila Bar
We went here on our first date. Needless to say, we had a blast! This continues to be one of our favorite date night spots. They have the best margaritas and tacos!
Tom Kelly's
Awesome Irish pub and restaurant. Have a Guinness or other drink of choice because every love story deserves a toast! Sláinte!
Bengtson's Pumpkin Farm and Fall Fest
Fun fall attraction in the area with top notch donuts and cider!
Siena Tavern
One of our absolute favorite restaurants in the city to eat at! The Meatball, Gnocchi, and Brick Chicken are home runs!
Chicago Pizza and Oven Grinder Company
We went here the day Brent asked me to officially be his girlfriend. It is still one of our favorite restaurants in the city. Famous for their pizza pot pie, but you cant forget the Salad and Mediterranean bread!
Cooper’s Hawk Winery & Restaurant
Another one of our favorite restaurants in the area. An inviting atmosphere with thoughtfully crafted wines and elevated cuisine. They also have a wine tasting room.
Konow's Corn Maze
For a little adventure (and maybe a little misdirection), check out this nearby corn maze—perfect for a cozy fall afternoon.
Escapology Escape Rooms Orland Park
If you’re looking for something fun to do while you’re in town, we highly recommend trying an escape room! It’s one of our favorite date activities, and we may or may not be slightly obsessed. Grab some friends and see if you can escape faster than we would 😉
K1 Speed Mokena
Need a fun break while you're in town? Go race some go-karts at K1 Speed! Maybe a little pre-wedding competition?
Skydeck Chicago
While you’re in town celebrating with us, don’t miss a trip to the iconic Skydeck Chicago! Soak in the city views, snap a photo on The Ledge (if you’re feeling brave 😉), and see Chicago from a whole new perspective. Extra pretty during Sunset or at Night.
Sanctuary Golf Course
Looking for a laid-back afternoon? Santuary's driving range is perfect for fresh air, friendly competition, and a few great shots. This is one of our go to date spots when the weather is nice. They also have heaters when it's a bit chilly.
Game Show Battle Rooms - Chicago (Lombard)
We found our perfect match… now it’s your turn to find your winning team! This is a fun attraction for when you're in town
Axeplosion Axethrowing Lounge
Need a break from wedding festivities? Go throw some axes. We promise it’s safer than catching the bouquet ;)
Emagine Movie Theater
Sneak away for popcorn and a movie while you’re visiting—rom-coms encouraged!
Lou Malnati's Pizzeria
Love is deep… and so is the pizza in Chicago. Treat yourself to a true local classic! They have the best deep-dish and thin-crust pizza. One of our favorite pizza spots!
Thunder Bowl
Love is right up our alley… and so is bowling! One of our favorite date activities. Have some fun while you're in town.
