Best Day Trip Hotspots To Visit In Illinois & Wisconsin
Looking for a quick escape from Rockford this summer? There are so many great places you can visit within a three hour drive. Let's talk about them!
As a kid, my parents always took me and my sisters to Wisconsin Dells. We stayed at the iconic Mt. Olympus and rode all the rollercoasters and played so much mini putt at Pirate's Cove every visit.
Rollercoasters sound exhilarating, but being on a lake or seeing a Cubs baseball game sound so much more appealing as adults.
Here are just a few cities and fun destinations you can hit up if you're looking for a quick day trip destination in Illinois or Wisconsin!
