The city of Carbondale in Illinois is the ideal place to stay if you’re looking for a trip that is fun for all of the family. Carbondale has much to offer to visitors of all ages. Start at the local Dungeons and Dragons Park (Jeremy “Boo” Rochman Memorial Park), one of the top attractions in the area: the park is made up of models of castles and dragons so children can live out their wildest imaginations. Be sure to keep an eye out for the group of wizards casting a spell over Carbondale! Have a picnic at Evergreen Park and let your kids feed the ducks. Don’t forget to visit Old Train Depot, Carbondale’s railway museum and show your kids what trains used to look like!
