What’s in the Area?
Since 2000, the lakefront city of Waukegan has gone through a gentrification and is now standing out on its own from beyond the affluent neighborhoods of Chicago’s North Shore.
Much of this growth is centered around the extensive renovation of the Genesee Theatre, a downtown icon since 1927. It has been a key performing arts venue since its reopening in 2004.
Waukegan prides itself on its artistic flair, characterized by its monthly ArtWauk, a monthly event with many participating artists and local businesses.
During the summer months, Waukegan morphs into a seaside mecca, with its miles of sandy lakefront both at the Waukegan Municipal Beach and next door at Illinois Beach State Park.
If you’re looking for a pulse-pounding afternoon, one of the top 20 theme parks in the US is located just 10 minutes west. Great Adventure features 15 pulsating roller coasters among its 50+ attractions.
Here are some of our favorite activities and attractions in and near Waukegan:
Genesee Theatre This historic theater has been restored to its former glory. The theater first opened its doors in 1927 and was designed by architect John Eberson. The theater originally had 2,400 seats and was one of the largest theaters in the county. The theater went through a number of changes over the years but was finally restored to its original grandeur in 2004. Today, it is home to a variety of events and performances, including concerts, movies, and stage shows.
Six Flags Great America is a renowned theme park located just a few minutes west of Waukegan. It first opened its doors in 1976 and has since become one of the most popular tourist destinations in the area. Six Flags is home to a variety of thrilling roller coasters, including the world-famous Raging Bull, as well as a host of other rides and attractions that are sure to keep you entertained for hours on end. There is also a water park on-site, so it’s easy to cool off after a day of exploring the park. If you're looking for a great family experience, look no further than Six Flags Great America.
Bowen Park This lovely park in northern Waukegan was once the summer home of a succession of VIPs before it was sold to the Waukegan Park District in 1963. It was then transformed into the beautiful park with great features that it is today. You’ll find wonderful examples of the natural world, including an old-growth forest and a natural ravine. You’ll even find the Waukegan History Museum and the Jack Benny Center.
Illinois Beach State Park is a major tourist attraction in the warm summer months, where you can find young and old alike lounging in the sun, soaking up the Vitamin D, and swimming in Lake Michigan. It is 7 miles long and encompasses 4,160 acres. Additional amenities include picnic tables, campground, and park store.
Downtown Waukegan With many locally-owned businesses, a thriving arts scene, and shady tree-lined streets, check out downtown Waukegan. Foodies are in for a treat, too, with some great options including hearty pub fare, steaks, and Caribbean food. In the summer, don’t forget your sweet treats and hot dogs. The 3rd Saturday of every month is ArtWauk, with never-ending live entertainment, courtesy of both the Genesee Theater and Three Brothers Theater.
Jack Benny Center Located In Bowen Park, this multidisciplinary arts center plays host to the Waukegan Symphony Orchestra and Concert Chorus, and the Bowen Park Theatre and Opera Company. Budding musicians, dancers, and Broadway stars can study their craft with private lessons for kids and adults. It was named for the inimitable Jack Benny, who grew up in Waukegan and later returned to star in the Waukegan Symphony Orchestra’s debut performance in 1974.
Ray Bradbury Experience Museum This esteemed writer was born in Waukegan and spent his early childhood here. Though he left for good at 14, Mr. Bradbury kept Waukegan in his heart and included it (in the name of Green Town) in his classic works. The museum in his honor opened in 2020 and offers an interactive experience, detailing Mr. Bradbury’s early life in Waukegan, his important impact on 20th-century culture, and his unique vision for the future.
