From high-speed go-karts at K1 Speed to peaceful walks at Hickory Creek, Mokena has a surprisingly fun weekend lineup for families.
Mokena makes a surprisingly great home base for a family weekend. Start with a morning session at K1 Speed, where electric go-karts zip around an indoor track that kids and adults both love. Book ahead on weekends to avoid the wait. Then balance the excitement with a slow walk through Hickory Creek Preserve's shaded boardwalk trails. If you've got energy left (and the weather's hot), White Water Canyon Water Park in nearby Tinley Park is just a short drive west. It's a mix of active and relaxed that works for a wide range of ages.
