I live in Gurnee, IL. There are many fun places you can visit in Gurnee. One of the best places is Six Flags because they got the Raging Bull and Batman. Another great thing is they have a Menards down the street from Applebee's. At Menards you can find insulation, pipes and hardware needs.

A place for shopping is Gurnee Mills. They have a movie theatre but when you are in the mall you have to go outside and walk around for a minute. A neat thing is that they have a marry-go-round by the food court. Past the marry-go-round is RinkSide Sports, where you can play laser tag and play games for prizes.

Six Flags has a water park called Hurricane Harbor. They have a wave pool, several slides, and a little kid's area. My favorite is the tornado but when you are facing forward you see the drop and it's scary.

You should come to Gurnee because there are more places and 45 min. from the "Windy City".
