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 any time of year. 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 or a stop at the Old Plank Trail. If the weather turns cold, Odyssey Fun World in nearby Tinley Park keeps the arcade, laser tag, and indoor rides going all year. It's a mix of active and relaxed that works for a wide range of ages.
