Village of Bolingbrook

Affordable housing and a “place to grow” initially lured families to Westbury during the suburban boom of the 1960s. Later renamed Bolingbrook after its most prominent subdivision, those same qualities remain unchanged today. Named one of Money Magazine’s 2012 Best Places to Live, Bolingbrook residents delight in upscale shopping, diverse dining, and cultural attractions visitors won’t want to miss. Sportsmen and women will want to browse Bass Pro Shops for the latest outdoor recreation gear before hitting the links at Bolingbrook Golf Course. This championship course, designed by Arthur Hills and Steve Forrest, challenges and rewards with 18-holes, rolling fairways, seven lakes, GPS-enabled carts, and an array of first-class amenities. Shoppers can enjoy the day at The Promenade where one can find everything from major retailers like Macy’s to fashion and accessory boutiques. Couples can shop for furniture at IKEA, spend a romantic night cozying up with dinner and a movie at iPic Theaters, before retreating to one of several hotels offering luxurious to pocketbook-friendly accommodations. Families and history-buffs will be amazed by the collection of restored aircraft at the Illinois Aviation Museum. Open on Saturdays from 10am-2pm, the museum offers a complete calendar of programs from aviation to weather seminars – many are free and open to the public. During the summer, residents and visitors alike can enjoy festivals like the Jubilee on August 16, 17, and 18, or outdoor theater productions and live music at the Bolingbrook Performing Arts Center. Whether you’re visiting for a quick weekend escape or longer, the Village of Bolingbrook will both surprise and welcome you.
