Today, it is a place of beauty, and visitors can experience its prestigious buildings and the Illinois River valleys by driving along the 2.5 mile-long Grandview Drive.

For lovers of sport and the outdoors, there are five golf courses on offer and the Peoria Park district to enjoy. The zoo offers an African Safari experience, an Asian trail and an Australia Walk-About. The Block, on South-West Washington Street, houses the Peoria Riverfront Museum, filled with exhibits and experiences for all the family. Its Dome Planetarium is very popular, a place both to learn and have fun.
