For many of us, summertime in Champaign-Urbana is their favorite season. The lush green fields. The bright blue skies. The heat and humidity.
OK, so maybe NOT the humidity.
If you don’t know what a heat index is: Welcome to Champaign-Urbana!
Meanwhile, we know there’s only so many popsicles we can give our kiddos before 10:00 a.m. to keep them cool while still having fun.
From places to play in the AC to area pools, we’ve listed places to have family fun and keep your cool when East Central Illinois cranks up the heat and humidity.
