ATTENTION PARENTS: NEED SOME FRESH IDEAS FOR TRAVEL WITH THE KIDS THIS YEAR? Area Sites Featured in a New Guide for Exploring Illinois With Children! Who says you have to head far away to vacation? There are hundreds of activities going on right in your own backyard for kids of all ages. Whether you’re planning a day trip, seasonal festival, weekend get-away or full-week excursion, look to Illinois attractions for great kid-friendly diversions. But, planning trips can be so frustrating … especially when your kids seem bored and are begging for new ideas on something fun to do. Sure, go on the internet and try to plan a short family trip…it takes so much TIME! And, how can you decide which places are “kid-friendly” and a good value? “Traveling with family & friends shouldn’t be so hard. We wanted to make family time easy so, we researched and wrote this book” say parents/authors George and Michele Zavatsky. After 1000 hours of research and publishing, the result is their book, KIDS LOVE ILLINOIS. This book is part of series of best-selling regional travel guides for ten states in the South and Midwest. KIDS LOVE ILLINOIS has been kid-tested and the descriptions include great hints on what kids like best. This informative guide contains 288 pages packed full of over 500 places and events specifically designed for children between the ages of 2-15. Explore places from Deere to Dinos, discover Giant Cities and the Mighty Mississippi, or cross the prairie to the Lands of Lincoln, Raggedy Ann and Superman. We’ll tell you how Ancient Indians, Cowboys, Amish, Swedish, Presidents and Prairie folks lived. You’ll know where to go to stand side-by-side a baker, a rancher or a pizza maker. Watch a piece of chocolate painted right before your eyes or learn the secrets of making Cozy Dogs and Deere tractors. See the authentic sites where Fluorite (the state gem) and steel plows were first discovered. Learn how to pan for gold or stay overnight in a cabin on buffalo prairie lands. Another weekend you’ll have all the travel details you need to pretend you’re a window washer, a zoologist or maybe an average citizen who discovers a dinosaur. Travel along Route 66 or climb around famous forts. Of course, there’s plenty of kid-friendly details on nationally known sites like Sue, Jane, Shedd, Sears Tower, Navy Pier and, of course, the amazing new Lincoln Presidential Museum. Want Action? Trolley or walk past tall skyscraper or quaint towns. Take a ride on a Stagecoach on the old trail or ride on a Fire Truck tour through Chicago. Like Water? Cruise on rivers and canals, or navigate a barge through the locks. Become a human yo-yo or round the fast turns on a slippery Alpine slide! Meet reindeer and 3D hologram townspeople or Presidents. Pack your knapsack as you hike to find Starved Rock, Illinois beaches, Cave in Rock, Garden of the Gods, and maybe visit a creepy Woodland Palace. Now, begin packing for a long journey with Lewis & Clark at Camp River Dubois. If you’re hungry, KIDS LOVE ILLINOIS knows where to find the best deep-dish Chicago pizza or chuck wagon lunch. The book will tell you how to eat your way through Presidential Birthday cake, cheesecake, apple, pumpkin, cheese, sweet corn, Heath bar and even bagel festivals! Sample Irish, Swedish, Amish, American Indian and pioneer authentically prepared foods, too. The book is formatted in 7 geographical zones providing maps, descriptions, websites, prices, etc. to save you lots of time. Find “Favorites” listings and suggested family-friendly lodging. Web searching? Wasting Time? You won’t find all of this information together anywhere else! And, you will probably find there are at least 50 things to do within an hour of your home. Best of all, if you have a limited budget, don’t worry – our books list lots of places to visit for little or no charge! KIDS LOVE ILLINOIS can be purchased for $14.95 at bookstores statewide, online, or ordered directly: www.KidsLoveTravel.com.
