Weekend Ideas in Tinley Park
Tinley Park is a weekend destination in its own right. Odyssey Fun World covers indoor family fun all year, and the downtown Harmony Square district hosts the farmers market and seasonal events. Big-name concerts at Hollywood Casino Amphitheatre draw crowds all season.
Tinley Park is served by several elementary districts, including Kirby School District 140, Arbor Park School District 145, and Summit Hill School District 161, with high school students attending Consolidated High School District 230 (Victor J. Andrew High School and Carl Sandburg High School) or Bremen Community High School District 228 (Tinley Park High School).
