Take a Mini Road Trip in Your Kia Car

Jun 16, 2018

Summer is a great time for road trips. You can drive with the windows or top down, the days are long, and there are festivals, camping grounds, and fun galore. But we know that not everyone has the time to spend days on the road. Work, family, and real life interfere. But luckily for our local drivers, we’re in a great place to enjoy some shorter road trips, and we’ve got a few suggestions for easy getaways that you can get to with just a couple hours in your new or pre-owned car.

From Waukegan, the options are nearly endless. For drivers who really want to focus on the destination rather than the travel, you can enjoy the fun and excitement of either Chicago or Milwaukee just a hop skip and a jump away. Whether you want to take in a baseball game at Wrigley Field or visit one of the amazing festivals in downtown Milwaukee, you’ll have plenty of time to enjoy the cities.

If you’re more interested in natural beauties than man-made ones, Starved Rock State Park is only a couple of hours away. You can hike the gorges, see stunning waterfalls, and decide between setting up camp or staying comfortably at the lodge.

For those who want something in between the big city and the great outdoors, Galena is the perfect compromise. Pairing gorgeous scenery with a quaint downtown, Galena has a little something for everyone and is just a three-hour drive from Waukegan.

Whatever your destination, the key to a great road trip is a great ride, and here at Classic Kia, we can help you with that too. Whether your car just needs a tune-up at our service center before you hit the road or you’re ready to invest in a new Kia Soul, Waukegan, IL drivers can take the first step to a great summer road trip at our dealership.
