Weekend watersports meets birthday bowling
With its numerous parks and beaches, this wholesome neighborhood is a great choice if you love outdoor activities. In summer, head over to Gillson Beach for a swim, sail or SUP or take the kids to the Centennial Aquatic Center for a splash in the kiddies’ pool – they’ll also love the four waterslides. When the weather turns, welcome the winter chill on the ice at the Centennial Ice Rink. For a touch of culture, visit the French Market to try out the artisanal produce and enjoy some live music. Test your bowling skills at Wilmette Bowling Center; a birthday party there is a rite of passage for Wilmette locals. They also do great thin crust pizza and craft beers.
