If your children are ready to share their Christmas wish list with the man in red, we have a comprehensive guide to where they can visit Santa Claus in Chicago’s Western Suburbs.
Santa Claus, parades, light shows, carriage rides, chestnuts and reindeer visits — our Go West Holiday Guide has something for everyone!
The Fox Valley Nutcracker, being performed over Thanksgiving weekend at the Batavia Fine Arts Centre, will feature lavish costumes, gorgeous sets, talented local dancers and professionals, too. And one lucky Go West reader will win four free tickets to see the Saturday night performance.
The new playground at Prairie Path Park in Batavia features a very popular gravity rail along with lots of slides and unique climbing features. It is located near Rotolo Middle School.
The Weekend Spotlight features Pumpkin Weekends, a Pumpkin Fest, an Heirloom Apple Festival, Trick or Trees and more!

I'm Tara Burghart, a former journalist and current Geneva resident who created Go West Young Mom as a one-stop, local source for family fun in Chicago's far western suburbs. If you have young children in your life, and you reside in the Fox Valley -- from Elgin in the north to Aurora in the south -- I hope Go West becomes one of your favorite destinations on the web!
