Have a blast at the Pixel Blast Arcade! We're a traditional arcade like the ones you'd find in the 1980s, 1990s and early 2000s except we have a more modern feel, which means no quarters or tokens required. A low cost per person entry fee gets you in to play all the arcade games you want, ALL DAY. Stay as long as you would like and come and go as you please.

Believe me, I spent 13 years in the ceramics lab at College of DuPage, back in the 80's and 90's. I had a artist's in residence status, that allowed me keys to come and go. I spent many hours of my spare time enjoying the friendship of many different instructors and students, while working on my own techniques in porcelain art. Recently, I ran into one of my inner circle buddies from that group, while at an art fair in Geneva. Kate Keilty had her own booth, and told me how things at C.O.D. fell apart when a new department head took over. They were no longer happy to have students repeat the course in ceramics, over and over. Some people were production potters, and were using the studio too much. So a group of ceramic artists broke away to start their own co-op, and began what is today Clay Place. That's what my attention, and I went to see it for myself a few days later. I was impressed by the number of kilns, the types of kilns, the huge area being utilized for wheels, tables, and storage. I got a full tour, and was totally impressed. The classes are taught by professional ceramic artists, as well as ones with teaching backgrounds. Supplies were priced reasonably, because of their co-op, Not-for -profit status. I am currently working in fused glass, at a studio about ten minutes from this location, and have a good place to sell my jewelry as well as doing trunk shows. If I went back to ceramics, I would go to ClaySpace in a heartbeat. I have told all my friends who have shown an interest in clay that I highly recommend this fine environment for learning and personal growth in all things clay.

We love going here anytime of the year; the light show in the winter, the flowers in the spring, the cool forests in the summer and the colorful leaves in the fall.

Every year Lisle hosts Depot Days and the Museum is an important part of this "back in time" event. 9.15.18 - 9.16.18. It is a two day event with games for kids, wagon rides, a pettintg zoo and tons of "yesteryear" events! You will not be dissapointed, this is our 7th year going with the grandkids. Lisle is such a nice town and this is what they do best!

This lisle water park is great! A little something for everyone. There are plenty of water slides for this size water park, and little kids have a small gated area for play with water spouts and a slide. Next to this is a giant sand area(make sure to bring sand toys) there is a lap pool here as well. A larger pool is set in front of all these amenities going from zero depth and working your way up. In the zero depth expect to get splashed by the water spout. Really a lot of fun for all ages. Even teens will like to come here and hang around and enjoy listening to their music and eating at the concession stand. Who doesn’t love a snow cone!! Check this water place out.
9. Four Lakes Ski Area

Four Lakes ski area is a hidden gem. It's a very good place to try out winter sports. The slopes are not intimidating at all. Great place for first timers. The instructors are friendly and knowledgeable. The staff are energetic and personable. Definitely a very affordable place to get started on winter sports or to hone snow skills. Lift tickets are a steal and you can even get cheaper tickets online. Don't forget your helmets, there is a $3-$5 discount if you mention you have a helmet. Parking is free and plentiful. Even on their busy days, the lines are not very long. Don't expect a magic carpet. It's only tow ropes. It does get tiring after a while, but the rides are short to the top. The cafeteria area is sufficient for families and there is the more serious bar for the adults. Go and try out Four Lakes, you won't regret it.
