Not familiar with bike racing? That's OK! Don't let that stop you from seeing the exciting action on June 6th. We LOVE the energy that our spectators bring to the course on race day. Great attractions along the course include the kid-favorite Elmhurst Park District Wilder Park, the Phase Three Brewing Company Beer Garden at Wilder Mansion, along with food favorites like Roughedges Confectionery and Cookery, Primos Locos, and Stout's Sausage & BBQ and more!

It’s prom weekend, and we know how important those photo ops are! While Wilder Mansion, the Conservatory, and the formal gardens are always a top spot in town, they’ll be unavailable this Saturday, April 25 because of a previously scheduled wedding.

We encourage prom groups to plan ahead and explore other beautiful locations, such as Eldridge Park, for your photos. Visit our website at https://www.epd.org/parks for a list of other potential locations.
