Holiday Your Way with Gurnee Attractions

Brown paper packages tied up with strings, these are a few of my favorite things in Gurnee

Extreme Flight Simulation

Extreme Flight Simulation provides individuals with frequent flyer miles in the Gurnee facility's airplane simulator. Take off, coast and land as this soaring simulator accurately reproduces the flight deck of the 737 NG. The aerodynamic attraction is open to the public, and no flight experience is needed. But wait - there's more. Lose yourself in the Gurnee space's Virtual Reality Gaming Lounge highlighted by 40+ experiences.
