Trying to enjoy the last days of summer can be exhausting when it’s 94 degrees, 96% humidity, and why not throw in a heat advisory! Finding some cool things to do is easy when you know where to look.
Here are some fun places our family and friends have really enjoyed. Whether family friendly and a school night or a happy hour with your friends, you want to be comfortable.
The Peoria Riverfront Museum is a no-brainer! There is so much to do between the exhibits, Planetarium, IMAX theater, and guides tours. The Shark Exhibit ends this weekend (9/3), so get there! https://www.peoriariverfrontmuseum.org/
The Caterpillar Visitor’s Center is right next door to the museum. The tours are incredible and the history of CAT is pretty interesting to learn! https://www.caterpillar.com/en/company/visitors-center.html
Love to golf however, not the heat? Check out Quail Meadows in East Peoria. They have golf simulators that can keep your swing in check! https://www.quailmeadowsgolf.com/indoor-golf
Staying cool doesn’t mean you have to stay inside however, if you want to be outside…go to Pekin and experience Dragonland Water Park! https://www.pekinparkdistrict.org/facilities/dragonland/
Kids have amazing imaginations and they truly come to life in The Peoria Playhouse Museum! Tons of interactive activities and fun sessions to sign up for! https://peoriaplayhouse.org/
