Riverside Travel Guide

Tourist Guide

If you like airplanes and/or history and/or the military, this extensive museum is a must-see. There are three hangars (fourth under construction) chock full of military aircraft, munitions and sensors, spacecraft and rockets, and displays with vignettes and personal stories and all sorts of background details. It's free (you pay for things like the IMAX films and flight simulators) and unless you've got some serious museum stamina, you'll want to break it up into a couple days to see everything.

The room was comfortable and the breakfast was good. The room was clean but had a lot of noticeable stains on the carpets and the mattress. It wasn't messy and was definitely presentable but definitely could use a decent deep cleaning overall. I would consider staying here again.

Spend a day in the 1880s at this historic farmstead where volunteers in period costumes tend the animals, plow the fields, and cook in the kitchen. The best part of this 900 acre farm is that, as part of the local park district, it's free! It's fun for the kids, and also for photographers - most of the buildings are original or restored from original plans and photos.
