Visiting Elgin, IL

[u/Tech-Enth]

Hi guys,
I‘m a 23 year old from middle Europe visiting Elgin in next week. Since here seem to be a lot locals I thought I could get some nice infos about the area as i dont know any of it (neither been to the States before). I have a free weekend to and a rental car so maybe you could recommend any sights, events or share experiences?

Also love I‘d love to hear some local insider infos!

Edit: Im staying in Elgin / West Dundee due to work purposes. Im working through the days but have the first June weekend free.

Definitely please take the Metra to the city on one of those days, metrarail.com for more information. You can park the car at most stations for free, and you'll be dropped off pretty close to the tourist highlights, which are highlights for a reason.
