Things To Do
Ream's Meat Market
Erik has long enjoyed Ream's meat snack sticks. Don't be fooled, even vegetarians can find something to love at this place! Enjoy anything from high quality meat and jerky, to homemade dips, or a varied selection of wine and specialty drink products. This is a great place to grab some lunch or gather everything you'' will need for a delicious homemade meal.
Paramount Theatre
The historic Paramount Theatre in Aurora is a wonderful gem in the suburbs to see entertaining theater productions. They will be performing Rock of Ages the week of our wedding, this would make for a fun night out or a great capstone to your weekend at a Sunday matinee!
The Morton Arboretum
A stunning natural area open 365 days of the year with 1,700 acres to explore, this outdoor living museum with various plants from around the world brings people and communities together. Explore nine miles of roads,16 miles of trails and see the can't-miss 15 to 26 feet tall sculptures as part of Daniel Popper's Human+Nature exhibit. We have never been, but it is on our Chicagoland bucket list.
Cantigny Park
Colonel Robert R. McCormick, the former Chicago Tribune owner, left his 500-acre estate for all to enjoy. Education and recreation opportunities include two museums, expansive gardens, a picnic area, Red Oaks Farm playground and the fully-appointed Visitors Center.
Crystal Lake Brewing
We love our hometown brewery! It is a bit of a drive from St. Charles, but we had to add it to the list. Enjoy one of our favorites the Fox Rocker and Beach Blonde!
