What I like about Gurnee by a 5th grader at Woodland Elementary School

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.

What I like about Gurnee by: Lilly from Woodland Intermediate School
Gurnee was voted the top 10 locations to go on a vacation. So let me tell you a little about here in Gurnee. Gurnee has Six Flags Great America which has roller coasters, water-parks. There are also my favorite heavenly restaurants. My favorite is Applebee’s and T.G.I.Fridays. I go to Woodland Intermediate. Jewel Osco is right across the street a little bit down is a water park. Up the street is Best Buy, right next to it is Target, across the street is my life, it is like heaven, it is the mall, Gurnee Mills! Hallelujah. On one side of the mall is the Fairfield Inn and the Comfort Inn and behind it is a three year olds happy place, it is Toy’s R Us and behind Toy’s R Us is KeyLime Cove Indoor Waterpark Resort.

I hope you like what everything I have told you about my Gurnee. I hope you visit my hometown the village of Gurnee!

KeyLime Cove Indoor Waterpark Resort by: Julian from the Greenwood Elementary School in Waukegan
I went to KeyLime Cove. At first I saw a big water slide outside. When you pull up by the door you can get your luggage taken out by a bellboy. When I walked inside I saw a great big waterpark with a pool, a food place, a bar and a lot of candy. When I went to the room there was a flat screen TV, a coffee maker, a phone and a tiny refrigerator.

I then was able to go the the waterpark. There were waterslides, a basketball water game, a hot tub, and a place for little kids. I had so much fun. My favorite waterslide was the dark one that goes outside. When we left the waterpark I went to the arcade. They have many games like Battleship, but my favorite was Skeeball.

There is also a place that sells hot dogs, burgers and ice cream. It is called DW Andersons. The had the best cheese fries and a great cheeseburger.

If you have a chance you should stay at the KeyLime Cove, it is a great time.

The Waukegan Airport by: Felipe G. Greenwood Elementary School in Waukegan
I went to the Waukegan Airport with my family. It was very, very big outside with a very big building. The inside has a lot of elevators, escalators and people. We went at 5:00 in the morning and there was a lot of people. I went to drop my dad off when he was going to Mexico and I also went back to pick him up.

He went to Mexico to visit his Mom, Dad, Uncle and Aunt. He flew on a Five-Star Airplane. It was red with a white door. We waved goodbye to him as he flew away. He came back in a week.

Waukegan Airport also has a great Airshow in September. We went last year and it was really cool. This year it is on September 11th. You see all kinds of planes and they do cool tricks. Try to go and see the show you will have a good time.

Waukegan Airport is a neat place to see, try to make it out for the airshow.

The People's Choice Family Fun Center by: Destiny Greenwood Elementary School Waukegan
For my family trip I went to People's Choice Family Fun Center. We went on Wednesday and it was movie night. We watched 'Up' the movie. It was so funny we loved it. The funniest part was the end when the house landed on Paradise Falls.

The outside of People's Choice is yellow with white letters. The inside is full of games and the great smell of pizza and popcorn. There were people getting food, playing games and it was full of excitement and fun.

At People's Choice movie night I also got to play games. One of the games I played was the candy Sponge Bob game. I also ate pizza, candy, nachos, ice cream, a hot dog and had some pop. Then finally I had to go. You should take your family to movie night on Wednesdays at 6:30pm in Waukegan, I am sure you will have a good time.
