 | Illinois Tourist Traps | Tips 1 - 5 of 5 |  |
Well, not really a tourist trap... but outside of Chicago, in Schaumburg, there is a huge shopping center, Woodfield Mall, plus all sorts of shops surrounding it. Commercial mecca if you will.

Having just gone through the state of Illinois from Ohio en route to gladly see the Badlands, Custer State Park and Wind Cave in South Dakota (among other places), it now sadly appears I went through a toll trap state!
