]]>Head to the beach on Lake Michigan and you can experience everything as any other big beach. Hiking, swimming, fishing, and camping are just some of the activities you can enjoy that won’t cost you a lot.
Spend a day in nature exploring Elephant Rocks and the nearby Johnson’s Shut-Ins. Both parks are free and you can enjoy swimming in nature, climbing rocks, and even a natural water park with slides, waterfalls, and chutes. It’s great fun for the whole family.
Feel like exploring some caves? This unique park is perfect for that because it has 13 caves you can see. Some are well-lighted and can be walked through while others are more difficult to go in. There are hiking trails through the canyons that are great for seeing the whole state park.

]]>Munising has some amazing landscapes that you can’t see in many other places. It sits on the Lake Superior shore and we can’t decide which season is the most beautiful. You can go exploring to find hidden waterfalls, lighthouses, and even shipwrecks. There’s plenty of room for hiking and biking if you’re up for an active vacation.
Iowa City is a dream destination for those in love with literature. The University of Iowa has one of the world’s best writing programs. There are so many amazing libraries and bookstores around the city, and many of its cafes are full of students and people reading and working on laptops at all times.
Galena is a real-world Hallmark movie set if we’ve ever seen one. The town dates back to the 19th century and it has kept its charm. There are many shops and restaurants you can visit as you explore the beautiful streets of Galena. Don’t miss Grant Park and Gramercy Park if the weather is nice!

]]>One of the most enthralling places to see art is the Art Institute of Chicago. There you will find famous permanent exhibits like the miniatures, a series of hundreds of miniature rooms created to look in the style of many different time periods, as well as world famous paintings like American Gothic. There are also incredible exhibits that are only found there because of the link to the students at SAIC, the school that actually created the museum. The museum allows free admission on Thursdays from 5-8, so don’t miss your chance!
The Chicago Cultural Center is another must-see place in the city. Originally built as the central library of Chicago, it is now a gathering space for students, organizations, and puts on fascinating exhibits. The admission is always free, and the building itself is worthwhile to see as it is decorated in intricate mosaic design and Tiffany’s lighting fixtures in almost every room.
For another free activity, visit the Garfield Park Conservatory. The complex is full of beautiful and exotic plants and trees that will really take your breath away. Although it is free admission, they do have a donation box at the front, so give a little and keep this botanical paradise open for all.
With it’s large Polish and Ukrainian population, one of the most popular dishes to have in Chicago is actually pierogis. Delicious stuffed dumplings served with caramelized onions and sour cream is just what you need after a day of exploring. Some of the best places to get them from are Pierogi Heaven and Shokolad.
For famous deep dish pizza, head over to Lou Malnati’s. This local chain can be found in most parts of the city, and is really your typical deep dish masterpiece.
Famous American chef Grant Achatz’s restaurant Alinea is also located in Chicago. Everything the chef produces is thought-provoking, sometimes puzzling, and always beyond delicious.
If you’re looking for a fun night out dancing and sip cheap cocktails, head over to Danny’s, the oldest bar in the city! The music is a great blend of old and new, but don’t forget to bring cash because they don’t accept credit cards.
