After big-city sightseeing in Chicago, your family might need a vacation after your vacation. Savvy Midwesterners know of a perfect, all-in-one escape just 90 minutes away in the rolling hills along the Fox River.

Fox River Resort is an outdoor-inspired retreat where kids can splash the day away in our year-round Pirate's Cay Indoor Water Park, while parents relax on the deck with a cold drink in hand.

Located in Sheridan, Illinois, Fox River Resort is much more than a splash-filled water park resort. We offer so many other fun-filled things to do, too, like an 18-hole mini golf course, seven-acre fishing and boating lake, horseback riding, cross-country skiing, indoor and outdoor pools, a 9-hole golf course, ball field and sports courts. For more to do indoors, check out the activity center, movie theater, arcade and a variety of dining options.

You’ll find that Sheridan, Illinois, is the region's best-kept secret, filled with activities like adventures at Starved Rock State Park, beautifully designed golf courses and nearby museums, memorials and historical sites. With Chicago so close by, a day trip to this iconic city is a must for your itinerary.

Fox River Resort has spacious, condo-style two-bedroom villas from 856 to 1,330 square feet. Condos come complete with living rooms and full kitchens. Washers and dryers are included in select villas, and free laundry facilities are available on-site.
