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!

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.

There's always something going on here and for the winter time blues you can't beat taking your kid here. If you are good about getting out there's a resident pass, otherwise Thursday afternoons are donation only (or free to the cheap-os out there). Great stuff for kids of all ages, and look for their special activities, like JIM GILL (but trust me, arrive WAY early for this one!)

Those of you who don't like the stench of smoke when you’re out, this is the place for you. This bowling alley has 42 lanes and electronic score keeping. A big factor is that they do not allow smoking on Sundays. It’s good day to book a kid’s birthday party or bring the whole family for a couple of games.

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.
