The Naperville Public Library is fantastic. I grew up in Naperville and can vouch for its children's, YA, and adult sections. Great selection, great programs. I remember listening to one of our 5th grade teachers tell scary stories during the storytelling sessions as a kid, as well as the summer reading program. It has only gotten better through the years. Having lived in a bunch of places since, including Palo Alto and NYC, I can say that NPL is one of the best that I've seen.

In downtown Naperville, Illinois, a modern and bustling city, there is a small remnant of the original settlement that began the town you now see. Several times a year, there are festivals or recreations of timely events. But, the settlement is open at other times. Visit it often, because even though it's a historical site, things are anything but stagnant. It's a fun place to visit and I guarantee you'll learn something new.

What ever happened to the days when men would sit around with a scotch and a cigar and discuss the world? It is alive and well at the Bull & Bear. From the leather highbacked chairs to the stocked humidors, they aim to please. Come on in, pick out a stogie, and take a load off. All walks of life are welcome and included. It's a wonderful way to spend a Saturday or Sunday afternoon.

This course is great for beginner or experienced golfers. The course is beautifully landscaped. The downside of this course for the really experienced golfer is that it isnt as challenging as it should be. It is a really busy golf course so it is recommended to book well in advance your games. The prices to play golf there are a little on the expensive side. The other con to this is that it is located in Naperville which is a good long drive from the city.

You know, there are reasons why you shop at smaller places instead of chains. You go for knowledge. You go for service. You go for items that may not be available at the big stores. You go for individual attentions. Naperville Sport Shop provides all of that and more. Stop in often enough and watch how quick they learn you by name. It's rare when that happens in this day and age.

Even if you are an hour away from Lake Michigan, you can find a small but fun beach in Naperville. Centennial beach is part of the Naperville Park District. Get a pass for the summer and enjoy the water and sand. They also give swimming lessons there. The only con is that the water can be a little cold!

If I could post photos I would-- this is a beautiful little chapel on Naper Settlement- perfect for weddings and reasonably priced. We paid $400 6 years ago. Beautiful stained glass windows, nice scenery outside. It was a methodist church in the 1800s. You can also find interesting things (chapel themed) in the gift shop on site as well. For example, I bought a print of the chapel from when it was a church a long time ago.

Naperville Running Company is a good sports store for when you are specifically looking for running gear. If you are prepared to lay out the cash for a really good pair of running shoes then this is the place. You will also get more attention from staff here than a general shoe store.
