Explore Champaign-Urbana

We have called Champaign-Urbana home for the last 7 years and have loved (almost) every second of it. We listed a few of our favorite places to visit - if you get time to explore any of them we would highly recommend it!

Grainger Engineering Library Information Center

1301 West Springfield Avenue, Urbana, IL 61801
, (217) 333-3576

If you want to see where we met, head over to Grainger Library and talk a walk around! It sits right on the edge of campus and is only a couple of blocks from Green street restaurants and pubs.

Japan House, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign

2000 South Lincoln Avenue, Urbana, IL 61802
, (217) 244-9934

The location of several of our engagement photos, Japan House is full of life in late-May. Beautiful scenery and plenty of trails for walking make this a great spot to get some fresh air and super fresh selfies.

Jarling's Custard Cup

309 West Kirby Avenue, Champaign, IL 61820
, (217) 352-2273

Our favorite custard spot in town! Try the rootbeer float or the cookie dough snowstorm.

DESTIHL Restaurant & Brew Works

301 North Neil Street, Champaign, IL 61820
, (217) 356-0301

One of the best restaurants in town. If you arrive early or stay late, we definitely recommend checking this place out!

Homer Lake Forest Preserve

2573 South Homer Lake Road, Homer, IL 61849
, (217) 586-3360

A short hop, skip, and a jump away from Urbana is a great place to find some fresh air and lets the kids run off some energy. We love to take the hammock and fishing poles out to spend a couple hours away from the city. If you have any downtime and are looking for family-friendly ideas, this would be my top pick.

Meadowbrook Park

2808 South Race Street, Urbana, IL 61802
, (217) 367-1544

A great outdoor playground for kids and adults, alike, and only a short distance from where we live in Urbana!

For all the days along the way
