Neon Summer

The folks behind Jack's Pumpkin Pop-up and Frosty's Christmas Bar once again set their sights on summer in Chicago, when the weather is warm and people generally want to be doing something outdoors. Neon Summer transforms a two-acre stretch of land just west of Goose Island into a destination for family-friendly fun during the day and late night thrills for those who are at least 21 years old. The space features a go-kart track, a miniature golf course, axe throwing, plenty of fun photo opportunities and multiple bars serving drinks alongside bites like grilled corn on the cob and neon cotton candy. The price of admission varies based on when you show up and what activities you want to take part in—and make sure to stop by before this summertime wonderland closes in early September.
