Blackberry Farm Virtual Tour

 Take a Virtual Tour of Blackberry Farm in Aurora Illinois.

Blackberry Farm is a living history museum where pioneer life is re-created through educational demonstrations and hands-on fun. Admission to Blackberry Farm includes unlimited rides on the train, hay wagon, pedal tractors, paddle boats, carousel and ponies.
Take Virtual Tour
Visit Website
Directions

blackberry-farm-300The recently modernized Blackberry Farm is extra special. All the traditional favorites like the steam-engine replica train, carousel, hay wagon rides and pedal tractors remain intact, accentuated by new features and amenities that make each visit all the more exciting.

Even the historic museums and interpreters (blacksmith, potter, seamstress) have a few new wrinkles with a series of interactive exhibits available this year to help truly experience the “real” pioneer life.

View Map of Blackberry Farm 

blackberry-farm-300-6At the top of that list is the revolutionary “Adventure Playground,” which has drawn rave reviews all around.

It’s an extensive network of climbing decks, slides, ropes and catwalk-style bridges connecting an array of playhouses on multiple levels, bringing a 21st century twist to the historic pioneer village. A 70-foot zip line alongside provides added excitement for youth thrill-seekers.

“More than a playground, it’s a unique combination of interactive features; a hands-on farm museum where children go from deck-to-deck answering questions and learning about the history of pioneer life,” said Gilmer. “Most children have never experienced something like this.”

Other highlights include a 2,500-square-foot picnic shelter that serves as a performance stage for live entertainment – featuring the “Live and Uncorked” series of outdoor concerts enjoyed with adult beverages (beer and wine).

blackberry-farm-300-4Nearby, on the shore of Lake Gregory, a nautically themed boathouse shelter/pavilion and dock are home to a fleet of paddle boats available to visitors during designated times.

Group picnic shelters have been expanded throughout the park – ideal for larger gatherings.

Blackberry Farm makes for an enchanting venue for special events – weddings, reunions, fund-raisers, corporate outings and the like.  Also, birthday parties at Blackberry are all the rage – just ask the kids.

Fun Chicago Spring Break Staycation Ideas!

 

Spring Break In Chicago and the Suburbs

Where has the time gone? We are now in the THIRD month of 2016; March! You know what that means… No, not St. Patrick’s Day (even though that is also a lovely holiday). No, not Daylight Savings Time (boo, we lose an hour of sleep).. I’m talking about Spring! The time where the sun is out longer, the air gets warmer, and the flowers become prettier. The first ‘official’ day of Spring is March 20th, which is around the time when the kiddos are being let out of school for Spring Break. We understand that not all of us can be so fortunate as to plan a week-long getaway to somewhere exotic and tropical, but no worries, we got you covered.

Here are some great options that you can enjoy with your Family during Spring Break in Chicago and the Suburbs:
