12 days in Aurora Itinerary

Aurora, a suburb of Chicago, is a city predominantly in Kane County and DuPage County, with portions extending into Kendall and Will counties. Eschew the tourist crowds and head to SciTech Hands On Museum and Orchard Valley Golf Course. Attractions like Chicago Premium Outlets and Aurora Regional Fire Museum make great kid-friendly stops. Venture out of the city with trips to Honey Hill (in Waterman) and Kuipers Family Farm (in Maple Park). There's lots more to do: take in the spiritual surroundings of Sri Venkateswara Swami Temple, cool off at Phillips Park Family Aquatic Center, get engrossed in the history at Aurora Historical Museum, and have some family-friendly fun at Escape Strategy.
