MillPoint RV Park

There's plenty to do in Peoria alongside the pizza and beer, including the Peoria Riverfront Museum with its galleries, temporary exhibitions, permanent collections, theatre and planetarium, and the Peoria Zoo and its Africa area with lions, rhinos, giraffes, monkeys and zebras. Just outside town, about 30 minutes' drive from MillPoint, the Wildlife Prairie Park has animals of all sizes, fishing, mountain bike and hiking, disc golf, animal trails, an adventure zone, a sledding hill and regular family events. A must is a cruise on the Spirit of Peoria river boat, a paddleboat doing 90-minute tours along the Illinois River from and back to the riverfront dock. After that, there's the WeaverRidge Golf Club or Par-A-Dice casino to try your luck at; then, if you're not spending the full evening in Peoria pubs or pizza places, trot along to the Corn Stock Theatre, a community and outdoor theatre with performances in a circus tent.
