Top things to do in Illinois

Going small in the big city

Deep in the heart of the Art Institute of Chicago, you’ll find the Thorne Miniature Rooms – 68 beautifully crafted miniature rooms to the scale of one inch: one foot. The rooms house miniatures collected from all over Europe by Narcissa Nidblack Thorne, who married the heir to a department store fortune.

St. Louis’ Laclede's Landing Wax Museum

If you’re up for an experience that’s both kitsch and creepy, then you’ll want to stop by this museum. The collection of some 200 wax figures is set out on five floors of a dark warehouse. The basement’s Chamber of Horrors, reached via creaking floors and dingy hallways, is a scare-a-minute. The particularly brave can book a sleepover, which includes pizza, pasta, salad, ice cream and soft drinks. A light meal is recommended if you’re not known to have the strongest stomach!

Art in the park

If culture’s your thing, pay a visit to University Park’s Nathan Manilow Sculpture Park. Giant works of art created by some of art history’s luminaries are displayed on 100 acres of prairie land. Set aside enough time to walk the grass paths in search of a larger-than-life sculpture of Paul Bunyon or Martin Puryear’s breathtaking land art piece, Bodark Arc.

Bunyon, hot dogs and American pride

The original 19-foot fiberglass figure of Paul Bunyon, still holding his hot dog, can be seen in Atlanta. It was created in 1966 to draw attention to a restaurant along Route 66. Although no longer in its original spot, this much-loved figure has been preserved as a nod to America’s nostalgic past.

Peoria’s solar system

If possible, include in your Illinois itinerary a trip to the world's third-largest scale model of the planets; it's so large you’ll need to visit the planet exhibits by motor vehicle. For example, staying true to scale, you’ll find Jupiter at the General Wayne A. Downing Peoria International Airport and Pluto in the middle of a furniture store in Kewanee. Definitely a unique experience for the Illinois traveler.
