Peoria Heights

If you want to wander, Peoria Heights is a great place to do it. There are plenty of shops, restaurants, and bars/pubs to check out as you walk, and you can even head to Tower Park and check out the view from the top of the Tower!

Aura Haunted House

If you're in the mood for something spooky, check out this haunted house that's in the former Bartonville Asylum.

Wildlife Prairie Park

One of John and Hailey's favorite places to go when in town! See the animals or go across the street to their hiking trails/frisbee golf course. They should be hosting Wildlife Scary Park events as well for family-friendly Halloween fun.

The Best Brew Coffee & More

If you visit Wildlife Prairie Park, make sure to stop by the snack shop and try Best Brew. Hailey used to work with the owner and a few of the employees at a different coffee shop, so Best Brew holds a special place in her heart. :)

Gil's Supper Club

Everyone loves their chicken, but Hailey and John are split on whether or not it lives up to the hype. If you go, let us know what you think!

Jubilee College State Park

Great place to hike!

Black Maple Coffee, LLC

One of the best local coffee places around!

Tanners Orchard

A bit of a drive but worth it for some Fall fun (and amazing apple cider donuts)!
