4 Creative Ways to Celebrate Mother’s Day in Chicagoland

Have you made plans yet to celebrate mom this Mother’s Day? Here are five creative ways to honor her in Chicagoland on Sunday, May 14.

1. Take Her to Brunch at Maxfield's
2290 Ogden Ave, Aurora
630.820.1177

If the mom in your life primarily does all of the cooking in your household, give her a break and take her out to brunch. Maxfield's in Aurora is known for offering the best brunch in town. The skillets are out of this world, but you can't go wrong with the pancakes either. Locals love this restaurant for the large portions, friendly staff and attention to detail. Make sure to call ahead for a reservation as Maxfield's is a popular brunch destination in Aurora.

2. Hit the Trails For a Hike on the Saw Wee Kee Trail
3300-3680 Sundown Ln, Yorkville
630.554.1010

The Saw Wee Kee Trail is one of the best trail systems in Northern Illinois and is the perfect place to take mom to enjoy the outdoors on Mother's Day. Keep in mind that Saw Wee Kee is an old rock quarry, so the terrain is rocky and elevated. Be sure to pack a picnic to enjoy a meal al fresco by the river.

3. Tour the Morton Arboretum
4100 Illinois Route 53, Lisle
630.968.0074

There's no better way to celebrate the spring season and the special mom in your life than a day at the Morton Arboretum. The immaculately landscaped grounds have been enjoyed by Chicagoland residents since 1922 when the Arboretum was founded by the Morton family (of Chicago's Morton Salt Company). The Morton Arboretum features nine miles of paved roads and sixteen miles of trails that can be explored by walking, running or bicycling.

4. Treat Mom to a Spa Day at Sojourn Salon
29 S Randall Rd, North Aurora

Give your mom an afternoon of relaxation and beauty at Sojourn Salon, which is one of the top-rated salons in North Aurora. The talented hair stylists will assess your mom's individual needs and desires and will deliver a haircut and style that exceeds her expectations. Every cut includes a complimentary neck and shoulder massage and the salon also offers makeup services, hair waxing, and extensions to leave your mom feeling rejuvenated.
