Summer has officially begun in Naperville. With that comes planning for a vacation — or perhaps this year, a staycation. Naperville is home to the beautiful Riverwalk as well as many restaurants, shops and outdoor attractions — the perfect staycation destination for a solo trip or a group of friends or a family.
Naperville offers so much to do. The iconic Riverwalk makes for a perfect day spent walking and taking in the natural beauty surrounding you. The Riverwalk presents 1.75 miles of pathway to discover, complete with scenic fountains, bridges, historical sculptures, quarries and more.
Plan some fun on the water by renting a paddleboat at the Paddleboat Quarry located at the base of Rotary Hill along the Riverwalk.
And to take it a step further, the Riverwalk is located in the downtown area, a short walk away to many unique restaurants. For instance, there’s the farm-to-table Allegory, the globally-inspired cuisine of Santo Cielo, the Empire Burger Bar and at least 30 more eateries, including specialty shops for ice cream and other treats and sweets.
In fact, all of Naperville is well-known for its dining scene. With over 300 restaurants within the city’s limits, there is something for everyone in your group to enjoy — even the pickiest of eaters! Enjoy a mouthwatering meal inside or outside, order for take-out or have it delivered right to your home or hotel room. Explore your dining options at DineNaperville.com.
