Copy link1. Off the Wall Cafe, Main Street, Park Ridge, IL
PEOPLE ARE SAYING:
Ash FiteLove this dig! Cool coffee house with craft coffee, food, games and cocktails.
The staff was especially friendly. We had our kids with us, and Everly (our 7 yr old) asked a barista if she liked dragons, the barista responded and was all ears and questions after that, more than just a kind tolerance of Everly’s excitement of dragons. It was sweet.
Attached is a neighboring tap house called Beer On the Wall. There’s a window to order coffee/drinks from either side which is really fun in itself. Didn’t go into the tap house but it looked rad as well.
Parking wasn’t particularly plentiful but we found a spot close by without much effort.

12. Mackinac Island
PEOPLE ARE SAYING:Ash FiteI first came here as a kid and LOVED IT! It's this beautiful spot in Lake Huron set back in time. Your only form of transportation is by horse and buggy, bicycle or on foot. Trails and woods cover most of the island, which makes it a great place for a hike.
It is also the location of Fort Mackinac, founded in 1780. It's a British-built on the island's bluffs high above the Straits of Mackinac.
You'll definitely need a full day to explore the island and feel satisfied if not more. If you want to bike the interior of the island, go kayaking, visit museums and the fort or anything else, you'll need three days!
