New Lenox Offers Some Pretty Cool Nightlife 3.5 rating By Anonymous ( May 10, 2018) I love living in New Lenox. We have around 24,000 people living here and each person is just as friendly as the first! With new faces to see and meet everyday making friends is a breeze! I had no trouble meeting new and kind people when I first moved here a couple of years ago. L ...Read More earning the roads and all of the best places is super easy, and studying up on the local culture and cuisine is a tip from me to you to make your transition to residency easier. There’s a ton to do for locals and tourists!

There is lots to do in and around our area. Some of the best attractions, in my personal opinion have to be the couple of beautiful theaters in our area, if you can catch a show while you’re here then I definitely recommend it! The Pumpkin Farm is also a great place to visit for couples, friends, and families. If you’re old enough check out our local casino and gamble a little bit of fun into the night and enjoy some drinks with friends or your loved ones. Read Less
