Quirky Tourist Attractions in or near Illinois

While in Illinois, you might enjoy a visit to:

Woodstock, Illinois: Groundhog Day Movie Town

The town that was used for location exteriors in "Groundhog Day" relives that same day every year. Walking tour to movie sites -- see the "Bill Murray Stepped Here" sidewalk plaque.
~37 miles from North Aurora.

Des Plaines, Illinois: Meals Delivered by Train

Yup, a model train transports a burger and fries straight to your placemat.
~28 miles from North Aurora.

Des Plaines, Illinois: McDonald's Museum and Store No. 1

A sacred origin spot for American fast foodies, the Store No 1 museum creates its own 1955 time warp, but stands across the street from a modern McDonald's.
~29 miles from North Aurora.

Gurnee, Illinois: Planes, Trains And Automobiles Motel

The El Rancho Motel, sadly (from our perspective) renamed the "River Trail Gardens and Inn" was a memorable location for the 1987 John Candy-Steve Martin comedy "Planes, Trains and Automobiles." Remember: those aren't pillows.
~46 miles from North Aurora.
