I live in Gurnee, IL. It was listed as one of the U.S.’s top ten destinations. There are many fantastic places to visit.

One of the big places is Gurnee Mills. It has everything you want from movies to sports. Across town is Six Flags Great America. It is a huge park with roller coasters, food, and other rides as well. Six Flags has an extension to it, Hurricane Harbor. It has wave pools the size of football fields. It has big tower of water guns, water, and slides. It also has those big slides that are like 400 ft. long!!! Of course it has a lazy river. There is also another water park it is very expansive to stay at. It’s KeyLime Cove. The last water park is small but its fun to go to. It’s Gurnee Hunt Club Water Park. It has beach volleyball. It also has big pools and food and some slides. There are many restaurants scattered all over. McDonald’s to Olive Garden. There are a lot of hotels but I don’t know how many. I know at least 3. They are all very nice. There are also lots of plazas around with good stores. One is off of Grand Ave. and Data. It has many stores. There is also one across the street too. That is big too. In conclusion Gurnee is a very nice place.
