The Best Things to do in DuPage County Superlatives

Last Updated on October 19, 2022 by JaimeSays

Just like that, my year long ambassadorship with DuPage County is coming to an end. When I first started in this role, I hadn’t explored much beyond my hometown haunts, but just seven months later, I became a permanent resident. With the support of the members of Discover DuPage, I learned about so many gems of DuPage County that I had never known. As such, I’d like to share my favorite things to do in DuPage County, a Chicago suburban treasure.
