The Skokie Park District offers countless activities for families to enjoy all summer long. First, there's the Traveler's Quest Adventure Golf course, which offers 18 global-themed holes. The "Around the World" theme provides a tiny glimpse into replicas of world-famous sights like the Eiffel Tower and giant African elephants. If you're looking for something strictly for the little ones to enjoy, Skokie Sports Park also has a nine-hole Kid's Quest course. The tykes will be able to enjoy a number of interactive activities, including a ride on a jeep, climbing on dinosaurs and a trip down the slide. Even mom and dad can participate in this one, as the small course provides an adult challenge.

Once you've had enough mini-golf, go for the real thing at the park's driving range or test your swing in one of its batting cages.
