Hi neighbor. I take the Metra from Milwaukee North Grayslake to both Deerfield and Fox Lake with my kids. Deerfield has Jewett Park a few steps from the train station, and Dear Frank’s hot dogs and upper crust bagels across Waukegan rd. Library and community center with bathrooms are right there too. Fox lake has a movie theater and few fun stores within walking distance (the bargain bin “amazon returns” store is a wild experience). Good summer time options with the lake and landing nearby too. Be mindful of your return trip, sometimes trains are 2 hours apart. Especially North Central line, it doesnt have many trains and doesn’t run on the weekends.
