Nestled just west of Chicago, the Village of Westchester is a perfect retreat for travelers who enjoy exploring off-the-beaten-path destinations full of character. Get in touch with nature while in Westchester by exploring the Wolf Road Prairie Nature Preserve. This rare and protected stretch of original tallgrass prairie is the largest prairie of its kind in the Chicago area. Walk through native plants and wildlife on the preserve’s scenic trail, experiencing Illinois as it looked centuries ago.
Westchester boasts a collection of inviting parks and green spaces where live concerts are held during the warmer months. Community Park serves as a central hub with sports fields, walking paths and playgrounds, making it a great stop for families or anyone seeking a bit of fresh air and fun.
Dine like a local by heading to Westchester Inn, a cozy restaurant that’s been serving delicious Bohemian and Czech cuisine since 1995, or grab a hot pizza straight out of the oven at Rocky’s Pizza & Restaurant. There’s also The Jungle Plate, where you can dig into Caribbean and African dishes, and Thithi’s Restaurant, which specializes in a fusion of Thai, Vietnamese and French cuisine. After you eat, rent a lane at Eden Lanes Bowling Alley!
With its natural beauty, neighborly atmosphere and endless opportunities for fun, Westchester welcomes you.
