The red barn-shaped hotel offers a variety of accommodations but families will appreciate the Family Silo Suites. While it doesn’t look like a silo inside, the suites offer cozy rooms with bunk beds and comfy bean bag chairs. But that’s not all. All staycations require a pool, right? Once you set eyes on the colorful pool area (check out that HUGE flying pig tile mosaic and the famous cow paintings), you’ll never want to leave. Kids will enjoy zipping down the pink slide, playing water basketball or
splashing in the zero-depth entry saltwater pool. Adults can partake in the fun at the indoor/outdoor hot tub. Afterwards, walk around the hotel to admire the art commissioned from three artists as well as the hallway displaying “got milk?” ads. Round out your staycation with a free hearty breakfast, a game of billiards, or enjoying the many adventures (the new Dairy Adventure is a must see!) offered at the farm. Pro tip: Don’t leave without having ice cream from the Cowfe! Cheryl Eugenio ChicagoParent.com
