About 22 miles west of Chicago, Downers Grove offers residents a peaceful reprieve from the bustle of city life. Lots of greenery fills Downers Grove and a number of nearby natural amenities grant residents access to outdoor recreation and scenic views. Pack a picnic and go for a hike in Hidden Lake Forest Preserve, play mini-golf at McCollum Park, and admire the sprawling garden at the Morton Arboretum for a taste of the outdoors in Downers Grove.
Should you prefer to spend time indoors, you can peruse the specialty shops in Downtown Downers Grove and the various retailers at Yorktown Shopping Center. You can also catch a showing at Tivoli Theatre: Classic Cinemas or Hollywood Boulevard Cinema. Playing laser tag at Adventure Realm and sampling the offerings at Alter Brewing Company are great indoor options as well.
