This review is from: Fun with the Family in Illinois: Hundreds of Ideas for Day Trips with the Kids (Paperback)

My Dad and Grandpap were coming up for a visit this summer, and my wife used this book to find things to do during their visit. We found lots of things, including the Illinois Railway Museum which goes along with their love for trains and everyone had a wonderful time.

Then, the next week, we found ourselves in western Illinois with nothing to do one day, so we pulled out this book and found the John Deere Pavilion in Moline. My 2 1/2 year old son loved climbing in the tractors!

We would never have found these places without this book! What a great idea!
