Now that the world is returning to some sense of normalcy after spending over a year in “Pandemic mode”, there is lots to be done in DuPage County! Whether you’re looking for a new activity or a new favorite restaurant, there is something for every reader. If you’re looking to explore your wild side, the Morton Arboretum and Blackwell Forest Preserve have much to offer outdoors. Featuring handmade, lifelike Human + Nature sculptures and outdoor arboretum yoga, the time has never been better to visit the Morton Arboretum in Lisle. One of the most popular forest preserves in the county, Blackwell Forest Preserve in Warrenville boasts tubing, hiking, camping, and picnicking options with countless bird species and amphibians to enhance the experience.
