Attractions like Blackberry Farm and Splash Country Water Park
For new residents, Amy Pearson, licensed realtor with @properties, says a great place to check out is Blackberry Farm. “I’ve taken my daughter there and she loved it. It’s a hands-on farm with unlimited train rides, a hay wagon, pedal tractors, a carousel, ponies and paddle boats on Lake Gregory.” According to the Fox Valley Park District, this long-standing community staple is a living history museum that recreates the rich history of Aurora from 1840-1910. A summertime favorite is Splash Country Water Park, which features a lazy river and tower tube slides.
