Residents and visitors alike enjoy year-round attractions including museums, art galleries, public performances and theater. The DuPage Children’s Museum has hands-on fun for not just your family but your friends or even your colleagues. Burst large bubbles or learn about earthquakes at this interactive museum before heading to Naper Settlement, a museum village of 19th-century homes, shops and public buildings that exhibit a collection of historical Naperville facts and furnishings. As you walk through the local Historic District you will run across a number of historic landmarks including the Truitt House, a prairie school designed by an architect who worked under Frank Lloyd Wright, the Thomas Clow House, a mid-19th century farmhouse and the Naperville Woman’s Club, a gothic revival church and key building in the city’s downtown. As you make your way from landmark to landmark, you might hear some ringing bells. It’s not in your head! Not far from downtown is the Millennium Carillon next to Riverwalk Park. This musical tower has 72 bronze bells and is ranked among the four largest carillons in the world. Speaking of the Riverwalk, this park is exceptional in its own right. It features 1.75 miles of brick paths, fountains, bridges, meeting and event places, outdoor sculpture and artwork, recreational facilities, and celebratory memorials.
To the east of Riverwalk is Fredenhagen Park with a landmark clock tower and further west is the historic Centennial Beach. Small town hospitality will make you feel like one of the locals in Naperville. Hotels in the area are as welcoming as residents and have most everything you need so you can enjoy your trip free of stress.
