Arlington Park Horse

One of the surest signs of Summer is the return of Racing to Arlington Park Race Track. They have been off and running since May 4th so hop on the Metra Northwest Line and be delivered right to their door. A day at the Track is a fun and exciting way to spend the day with friends & family.

Every Metra Rider near the Northwest Pacific Train Line, has access to some of the greatest Bike Trails in the Chicago-land area. Whether you bike for fun or as a means of getting around this post is for you. We’d love to hear about your ride and any tips for the other riders.


Irish Pub Crawl

McGonical's Pub 105 South Cook Road Barrington, IL 60010 847-277-7400

You don’t have to be Irish to enjoy this pub crawl. We have included five Irish pubs in five different towns. Pick where you want to stop and end, then go out and have some ‘craic.” (an Irish term for fun or good time). If you try all five we would like to hear about your favorites.


Dinner and a Movie in Park Ridge

We know that practically every town has a movie theater, but few have a historic gem like the Pickwick Theatre in Park Ridge. While there, plan to eat at Affresco Pizzeria one of our new favorites. Both the theater and the restaurant will make you glad you made the trip.


Meet at the Metropolis – Live Theater & Dining in Arlington Heights

Metropolis 111 West Campbell St. Arlington Heights, Il 60005  847-577-2121

You don’t have to go to Chicago to enjoy an evening of live entertainment. The Metropolis is a great venue that offers a variety of comedy, drama and music programs. This venue is easy to access via the Metra Rails. Great excursion for a family, a group or a couple.
