What I like about Gurnee by: Luke Woodland Elementary School
 There are many things to do in Gurnee, IL. It was listed as one of the top ten places to visit in the U.S. Many of the things are within a radius of five miles.
One of the elite places to go is Six Flags Great America. You can get in with a pass, or you can pay the admission. Once you go into Six Flags, you can see one of the newer rides, Superman. Then, the sidewalk splits into two and goes separate places. Once you get in to the great depths of the park, there are way more things to do, There are entertainment shows, places to eat, rides and much more. After a long day at Six Flags, you can go across the street and save some money by going to Chicago Red Hots. They have good sandwiches, and you can get ice cream there.
One of my favorite restaurants is Potbelly’s. It’s right by Noodles Inc. They have good sandwiches, and it’s always fresh. It’s cheap, too. Right down the street is Gurnee Mills.
Gurnee Mills is one of the biggest destinations in Gurnee. The mall has a movie theatre, and many places to eat.
Right down the street from Gurnee Mills is the Hunt Club Community Center. They have rock climbing, open gym, and many classes to take. Another part of it is the pool. It has twisty water slides, and kids play areas. It’s perfect place to be in the summer. Way across town is the Warren Newport Public Library. It is one of the biggest libraries in the area. It has plenty of books, and it has an area to study. It is convenient because the high schoolers can just walk there.
Over by Potbelly’s is Borders Books. They sell a great variety of books. They also have free wi-fi. You can get books for reading, studying or looking at the pictures. They sell CD’s there, and you can listen to previews of the songs. Those are just some of the fun places in Gurnee.

Elawa Farm by: Logan E. Oak Grove School
You have to visit Elawa Farm in Lake Forest. It is ratticle! There are people there that will guide you around the farm. You can’t miss all the cages filled with amazing birds. There is even one with a kangaroo! You can go into the snake house they have rattle snakes, and many more. Be careful to not tap on the glass! Sometimes it is loud because of all the rattlesnakes. The last thing I did there was look through a telescope for fake animals! After I found them we tried to track them down and get closer look. If you ever come to Elawa Farm, you won’t want to leave.

What I Love About Gurnee by: Brooke Woodland Intermediate School
I live in Gurnee, IL. It is listed as a popular destination. There are places you can visit like Six Flags. Also Hurricane Harbor, KeyLime Cove, Marcus Theatre, Gurnee Pool, and Wal-Mart, Sam’s Club, Aeropostle, Abercrombie, Holster, American Eagle, and Game Stop, also Zumeiz and lastly Hot Topic. Fright Fest at Great America is thrilling because you can ride rides, and get chased by people in frightful costumes. In Marcus Theater there is food you can eat like drizzling sizzling butter and a pinch of salt. At the Gurnee Pool there are kids rising to the surface to take a breath once in awhile and kids going down the drop slides and water body slides.
