15 Best Things To Do in Naperville, Illinois

Being the fifth-largest city in the state, Naperville is just a few miles from Chicago but has managed to build a reputation of its own rather than being overshadowed by the big city.

At one point, Naperville was ranked as the safest city in the country and remains 11th on the list of the wealthiest cities in the US.

Naperville is known for its exciting nightlife, which resides in the bars and other entertainment opportunities in the city. In the daytime, don’t miss out on visiting The Morton Arboretum, which is an outdoor museum featuring a research program, herbarium, and a library.

Finding a beach in Illinois (outside of Chicago) seems like an impossible task, but not if you’re in Naperville. The city has its own ‘beach,’ which is actually Centennial Beach, offering a ton of water-themed activities for the locals to enjoy.
