Want to see how huge farm combines are made? Take a free weekday tour of the John Deere Harvester Works in East Moline, where you’ll follow the main production line from start to finish.

Take a sightseeing or dining cruise aboard the Spirit of Peoria, an old-fashioned paddle-wheeler docked at the Peoria RiverFront that plies the Illinois River. The RiverFront is also the site of Peoria’s biggest fests, including the popular Steamboat Festival in June.
