What to do and see in Elk Grove Village, Illinois (IL): The Best Things to do Good for a Rainy Day
Elk Grove Village is a village located in northeastern Illinois adjacent to O'Hare International Airport and is a near northwest suburb, touching the city of Chicago. It is one of the Chicago metropolitan area's principal villages due to its large industrial park, located on the eastern border of the village. The village is located primarily in Cook County with a small portion in DuPage County. The population was 33,127 at the 2010 census. As the name suggests, Elk Grove Village is home to a small herd of elk kept in a grove at the eastern edge of the Busse Woods forest preserve for which the grove is named. Elk are not native to the area but were brought by train from Montana by an early resident, William Busse, in the 1920s. The elk are currently maintained by the Chicago Zoological Society veterinary staff and the Busse Woods Forest Preserve wildlife biologists.

All four of my grandkids had at least a half a day of school, so we decided to go see the "Addams Family". The staff was pleasant. The auditorium (#9) filled up quickly, so we were glad that we got there a bit early. Though the seating is not as comfortable as those power reclining seats, they are still comfortable. If you get up once during the movie to head to the restroom or replace the popcorn or soft drink, it is not all that bad. The movie, “The Addams Family” was funny and we all enjoyed it.
