Shedd Aquarium, opened in 1930, and at one time the largest indoor aquarium in the world, is Chicago's most popular cultural attraction.

Pop quiz, hotshot. Our state of Illinois, while nowhere near the tourism capital of the United States, still managed to draw how many visitors in 2016? If you just shouted "110 million!" at your monitor--congrats. You nailed it.

Summer fun kicks into high gear at the 2nd annual Rockford Town Fair June 1st - 4th at the Rockford Speedway.

Do a little Google-ing about the top places to visit in Illinois, and you'll see a familiar name pop up in list after list: Rockford's own Anderson Japanese Gardens.

Imagine a world free of long lines at theme parks and attractions. It's slowly becoming a reality.

Now this is really cool! Coming this August a safari park will be opening just an hour from Rockford in Wisconsin.

And one of them is right here in Rockford, Illinois!
