Interesting Things to do in the Naperville Area this March

Stop going on boring dates. Stop not going on dates because you’ve run out of interesting things to talk about during dinner at that restaurant you always go to. Stop watching re-runs. Stop Netflixing. And lastly, stop saying that you prefer staying at home drinking a glass of wine than going out. You’re lying to yourself because you’ve run out of ideas of things to do.

Great news, my friends! Naperville is SUPER easy to play tourist in… there are so many things to do, I guarantee you don’t even have time to do them all. And to make things even easier, I’ve done all the scouring and searching for you. Go forth and have FUN!
