Cannabis Truths, Cars and a Casino

A tour for the new generation of adult group travelers!

Visit Rise Recreational Dispensary and Consumption Lounge in Mundelein. This tour dispels the stigma of cannabis use, it’s not just about getting high these days. Legal in Illinois, the staff will present the types of cannabis products available for many senior adult ailments such as arthritis, pain, gastritis, sleep & relaxation assistance and more.

Then take time one-on-one with staff to review products for purchase. Allow 1.5 hours for questions and purchases. Note, everyone who enters needs a state-issued ID. Purchases can be made with cash or debit card only. At the time of this posting, the tour is free but must be scheduled in advance.

Then head to Volo Museum where your group can have lunch on their own in their pizza café, rent out the Party Barn for a pizza party. Or you may schedule a catered lunch by Lindy’s Landing, Lovin Oven Cakery or Whistle Stop Cafe. Of course, these are all available for in-dining as well.

Afterwards, visit the new Titanic Exhibit and then let your group roam on their own. The suggested amount of time for tour is about 2 hours. If you tour the entire museum, it’s 7 miles, so best let your clients decide what they want to see and when it’s time to take a break. Speaking of which, the café has seating with daily baked goods, ice cream, coffee drinks and more.

And for an evening event, American Place Casino’s temporary location in a tent is amazing! It has a wonderful family-style dining restaurant called Asia-Azteca. Then everyone can gamble at the over 900 slot machines, dozens of table games or Sportsbook. Group participants receive additional play and discounts on food.

If it’s too late to head home, you’ll find several close-by hotels in Fountain Square – Courtyard by Marriott Waukegan, Hampton Inn & Suites Waukegan, Holiday Inn Express & Suites Waukegan, SpringHill Suites Waukegan and Towneplace Suites Waukegan. American Place’s permanent location, entertainment complex and boutique hotel plan on being open in 2026.
