From the reviews

We had such a great experience at The Forge in Lemont! The staff were incredibly helpful and friendly, which made the day even more enjoyable. It was extremely hot during our visit, but the water stations placed throughout the park were a lifesaver and much appreciated.

We got the Groupon online for the explorer day pass. It was a lot of fun! My kids 9-12 had such a great time. The food was really good and reasonably priced too. There was live music which you can hear all around the park.

★★★★★ — Ashley, Sep 2024

You just got to see how huge this place is. Zip lining, kayaks, mini golf, ice cream parlor, endless hiking trail and so much more I loved this place Lombard Quarries. Fun on a solo excursion, date, or a family fun day. Price is kind of price and some adventures cost more than what your paying for.

This place is huge! Only came to do the paddle boating. It was a quiet afternoon as they had not long opened. Only downside is one of our boats seemed to move a lot slower than the other. It did look like it had been patched up on the top with plaster or some similar material.
