Chicago North (Elk Grove Village) is awesome. You never would guess from the outward appearance of the area surrounding the Holiday Inn we use there, but a quick drive into the residential areas will show you that it's actually a nice place. Not to mention the apparently affluent Elk Grove Park District, which, among other things, has the Rainbow Falls Water Park. Situated directly adjacent to both a high school and a middle school, who in their right mind would NOT skip school to go hang out at the water park when it's open for the season?!
Check out the park district's website for other great attractions in the Chicago North area. Program managers: take note of this site, only a few miles from the hotel, for the warmer months. Probably a great post-seminar relaxation place (if your presenter's way cool, of course) or, if you're willing to place a bet on it, a quick lunchtime stress-reliever.

Hell yes! When you're a kid, waterparks are the coolest. Now that I'm a squeamish adult, I kind of avoid them. But I'll let my sister know what you think of Chicago North, as she is planning to move up there in a year or two...
