Dining, Entertainment, and Shopping
At Glenview's heart is the
Glen Town Center — a vibrant shopping center fashioned out of an old US Navy airbase and sprawling with boutiques and restaurants. Some of our favorites are Apricot Lane, Von Mauer, Dicks Sporting Goods, Yard House and So’Bella.
Holiday parades infuse the streets with charm every season.
Who doesn’t love downtown Glenview, get yourself and the kids some soft-serve at the window of
Dairy Bar, or treat yourselves to a dinner of eggplant parmigiana at
Gusto Ristorante or yummy pulled pork nachos at Glenview House! Craving a glazed donut on the go? Swing by
Joe Donut. You can even grab a box of six to share with everyone at home. If you're out looking for amazing toffee, be sure to pull up at
Cora Lee Candies on Waukegan Road.
Things to Do
Flaunt your patriotism with red, blue, and white painted bikes or scooters in the heart of Gallery Park on
the Fourth of July and parade with family, friends, and other locals before getting ready to watch the Twilight Fireworks once night starts to creep in.
Want to explore life on a dairy farm with your kids? Visit
Wagner Farm and interact with animals, kids can play on the playscape and visit the farmers market on Saturdays in the summer.
Looking to play on a premier Tom Fazio golf course, enjoy a round at The
Glen Club and have lunch in the beautiful club house afterwards. If you're a music lover, summer brings free concerts at the
Jackman Park Gazebo. Bring snacks and drinks, the kids love to dance under a star-speckled sky!
