Ride the train at Rockome Gardens

If you are looking for a great excursion while on your vacation, somewhere that offers fun for the whole family, as well as an educational experience then you are in luck. In Arcola, Illinois, you can visit Rockome Gardens, an attraction that is unlike anything else you have ever experienced. While there, you can take a relaxing stroll through the gorgeous gardens or a ride aboard the train that takes you around the whole attraction. For the adventurous, there is the Haunted Cave, which is full of surprises, including a slanted swing and a light bridge. You can even buy feed for the animals in the petting zoo, and get close to the horses, sheep, and goats. You might also want to take a buggy ride around the park, go horseback riding, or even kayaking. One of the most amazing things you can do here is to play a chicken in a game of tic-tac-toe. It might sound strange, but it’s true! You will also find quite a bit of great shopping at the Rockome Gardens as well. From local crafts at the Amish Trade Center, to the Bakery and the Five and Dime, everyone can find something to take home.
