1. Get Active in Henry A. Proesel Park

Everything families need for outdoor fun is right here in Lincolnwood in Henry A. Proesel Park at 7030 North Lincoln Avenue. Take the kids to burn off energy on the outdoor fitness equipment, play basketball, volleyball, and tennis, rollerskate, and climb and swing at the playground.

In the summer, the aquatic center is a popular destination for families where kids can splash around in the kiddies’ pool, run through the water sprayers, and play with water toys. You can also find plenty of shaded spots for family picnics when it’s time to grab a bite to eat.

2. Have a Blast at Novelty Golf and Games

Novelty Golf and Games at 3650 West Devon Avenue, owned by Craig Klatzco, a certified teacher and on Lincolnwood’s board of trustees, has been a family favorite for decades. The beautiful landscaped multi-themed mini golf course is designed to be fun for the whole family, with plenty of tricky obstacles and quirky statues, including prehistoric dinosaurs, charming Dutch windmills, fantasy treehouses, medieval castles, and a colossal rooster.

There are five batting cages that supply bats and helmets and a wide selection of games in the arcade, ranging from 80s and 90s classics to racing games and pinball machines. When the kids’ tummies rumble, treat them to delicious pizza, burgers, or hot dogs at Bunny Hutch, the amusement park’s colorful eatery. 

3. Take a Splash at Skokie Water Playground

The colorful, interactive multi-level Skokie Water Playground is just a quick 5-minute drive from Lincolnwood at 4701 Oakton Street in Skokie. Your kids will have a whale of a time tumbling down the three giant water slides, getting drenched under the 300-gallon big red dumping bucket, and soaked at the sprayground in the middle of the enormous kiddies’ pool. When it’s time for a break, head to the concession stand for an ice-cold drink or a frozen treat.

4. Discover 20th Century Farm Life at the Historic Wagner Farm

Find out what living on a farm was like in the early 20th century at the Historic Wagner Farm, 12 minutes away in Gleview at 1510 Wagner Road. Pop in at the 1920 farmhouse to lend a hand with some of the domestic chores. Shop at a 1930s grocery store, collect eggs at the chicken coops, see what crops are growing in the fields, and meet the farm animals gazing on the pastures.

Kids can learn at the interactive traditional Farm Adventure area while having fun. They can dig in the sandbox, swing on a tire, practice milking a life-sized imitation cow, and sell produce at the farm stand.
