Places like the Children’s Discovery Museum are sure to start your trip off on the right foot. Although it has exhibits and programs great for children – parents, adults and everyone else on your trip are sure to have a ball as well! If you are planning on visiting the city in the summer, add Anderson Park and Aquatic Center to your itinerary. This outdoor waterpark contains three pools complete with diving boards and water slides and is a great way to cool off. If you or the kids run out of steam, head back to your hotel in Normal, IL to rest up and head back out to visit the Braden Auditorium. You’ll find Broadway shows, touring companies, concerts and ballets or you may even be attending your conference here!
You can enjoy a day of total relaxation by shopping at the Constitution Trail Centre or the Shoppes at College Hill. You’ll find shops that vary from designer to local boutiques dispersed among great places to get a bite to eat. For a really unique view of the city, visit Ropp Jersey Cheese Farm, a farm that produces the state’s famous cheese curds and artisan cheddars. You can tour the farm to learn about agriculture and of course, taste some cheese! When you book with Choice Hotels in Normal, IL, you’ll be able to taste as much cheese as you want because you can work off that food coma in a room that’s all your own. Get started and book now!
