Aldeen golf course is one of the most beautiful things to see in Rockford. It's definitely among the best golf courses in Illinois. The cost is not as high as most of the golf courses in the Chicago land area. There are plenty of places to stay and eat around the golf course as well. Aldeen golf course is definitely worth going to if you are an avid or new golf fan.

The Burpee museum in Rockford has recently unveiled the kind of thing you would normally expect to see only in a place like Chicago or New York. Namely, they have a dinosaur skeleton. Jane is a juvenile Tyranasaurus Rex, to be exact. Apparently she was about 11 years old when she died.
The Burpee museum is a great place to go, and caters very much towards families and kids. A lot of people try to criticize Rockford. I had someone write to me and try to explain that they used to live in Evanston Illinois, so obviously Rockford was much too boring for them. My response to that is, you aren't trying hard enough. Personally, I never found Evanston to be all that great, but have always found plenty to do and love in Rockford.
Rockford may be a small to medium-sized city compared to neighboring Chicago, but it has a lot to offer. I would start with this museum right here. Plenty to see and do and keep you and the family occupied for most of the day. It's classy, it's something you would find in a world-class city and it's great entertainment for a great price.
Check it out!

Runner's Image is the place to go for the serious runner. They do a great job of really measuring and fitting you for the proper shoe. They also have a decent selection of running clothes. Runner's Image cares about what they are selling you and make certain you are happy with your purchase and fit.

The new stadium is open and its quite nice! We've been to two games and enjoyed them both. Even our little kids liked it and sat still...(while eating). There are activities for kids, you pay extra. Clean, all the seats are good. The only downside is the entrance/exit. Only one and it gets a bit crowded.

More
Tinker Swiss Cottage is a charming house, dating back to 1865. It's a favorite jaunt for local school groups, so try and pick a day when you can look at things without it seeming like a madhouse. This charming house offers so many 19th century treasures and insights into life back then. From mundane chores like ironing to entertaining in the parquet-floored parlor to the production downstairs, there is much to charm you. They maintain a turn-of-the-century garden out back, and a favorite time to visit for everyone is the summertime ice cream social. Don't overlook this museum, even if you saw it back in 4th grade, there's always something new to discover.

I love the Coronado. Its not downtown Chicago (which I enjoy) - but the traffic is so much better. Its a hit or miss as to what entertainment is coming to town. We've seen Les Mis and Harry Connick Jr. (who was awesome), also Itsak Perlman, the violinist who's name I've probably butchered. Everything we've been to has been very nice, priced decently and the environment is quite pretty. I really like the "starlight" in the theater.

I recently had to get work done on a Harley Davidson motorcycle and I went to Kegel's. The service there was superb, and they were able to fix the problems with my bike. They also had a nice little restaurant as well. I recommend Kegel's to any motorcycle enthusiast in the Rockford area.
