My family is going to go on a vacation within about a 5 hour drive from Chicago. Our possibilities are Indianapolis, Louisville, Lexington (KY), and St. Louis. Which of these would be the best for a family with children ages ranging from 8-20? If you have other cities or suggestions within the 5 hour drive radius that’d be good as well. If you could explain your answer too I’d really appreciate it.
Thanks ![]()
