Welcome to Illinois' Rockford Region, encompassing Rockford, Loves Park, Machesney Park, Roscoe, Rockton, Cherry Valley and Winnebago County. Here you'll find the excitement of a trip to "the big city", yet there's a small town spirit that automatically leaves you feeling right at home.

THE ROCK RIVER VALLEY'S CULTURAL CENTER
Rockford is rich in cultural resources and offers more than 530 arts and cultural attractions, including a variety of art galleries, science and history museums, children's theaters and museums, dance programs, a symphony and an arboretum. Theater mavens can enjoy outdoor productions at the newly remodeled and world class Bengt Sjostrom Theatre or go back in time to enjoy entertainment at Rockford's Coronado Theatre, reborn in 2001 out of its former glory as a premier 1920s vaudeville theater. Family fun is foremost. Trips to the Discovery Center Museum, the country's fourth best children's museum; the Burpee Museum of Natural History, the home of Jane the dinosaur; and the Magic Waters, Illinois' largest water park, are a guaranteed good time for all.

PARKS AND RECREATION
The Rockford area is linked by a system of parks that have earned national recognition. More than 185 parks on 7,000 acres offer picnicking, horseback riding, skiing, snowmobiling, organized sports, and more. The area boasts miles of hiking and biking trails and access to four beautiful rivers that offer tubing, fishing, bird watching, water skiing and boating for the entire family. Known for more than 150 years as a The Forest City for its thick blanket of trees, Rockford has public gardens that have earned international recognition. Anderson Japanese Gardens is a tranquil, 16th century Japanese garden considered to be one of the finest in North America. Botany experts say that the only other botanic garden in the world comparable to Klehm Arboretum & Botanic Garden is in France. Its 150 acres boasts the best conifer collection in North America.
