Come and join the fun with a collection of sensory activities that will spark your child's curiosity! They'll get to use all five senses while they play and explore.
Sensory Play:
Sensory play focuses on activities that engage your child’s senses. It encourages learning through exploration, curiosity, problem solving and creativity, helping to build nerve connections in the brain and stimulating the development of language and motor skills. There are even more benefits that may go unnoticed, such as the development of abilities to focus and block out distractions.&nbsp;With sensory play, there's always much more going on than meets the eye!

Guests will spend the afternoon sipping, shopping, and strolling through Antioch’s historic downtown, with more than 50 wines featured at 30-plus participating restaurants, retailers, and local businesses.Antioch’s Wine Walk has become a signature event for the village, combining the feel of a relaxed afternoon outing with the opportunity to discover local shops, restaurants, and gathering places. For many, the event is as much about the downtown experience as it is about the wine. Participants can explore storefronts, meet business owners, enjoy the early fall atmosphere, and experience the walkable charm that has made Antioch a destination in northern Illinois.Tickets are $49 and include a commemorative wine glass, keepsake tote bag, raffle entry, and a bonus bottle of wine to take home. This fall’s event will feature upgraded wine selections curated specifically for the fall celebration, allowing attendees to sample a wide variety of wines throughout the afternoon. “The Antioch Wine Walk is a chance to slow down, enjoy sips of wine with friends, and experience the charm of our downtown during one of the best times of the year,” said Antioch Mayor Scott Gartner. “We love seeing people make memories here, whether they come for a leisurely afternoon out or give the experience as a gift.”Downtown Antioch provides an ideal backdrop for the event. With its mix of restaurants, boutiques, specialty shops, and service businesses, the village’s downtown offers visitors a welcoming setting to spend an afternoon. The Wine Walk encourages visitors to move throughout the downtown shopping district, stopping at participating locations while enjoying the energy of the local business community.For local shops and restaurants, the event provides an important opportunity to welcome both new and returning customers. Many participants use the Wine Walk as a chance to find a new favorite shop, make dinner plans, or return later in the season for additional shopping and dining. The event supports the Village’s broader goal of creating experiences that bring people downtown and strengthen Antioch’s local economy.The Fall Wine Walk is also designed to be convenient and enjoyable from start to finish. Early check-in begins at 11 a.m. at Sequoit Creek Park, allowing guests to pick up their event materials before tastings begin at noon. From there, participants can follow the route through downtown at their own pace, enjoying tastings and visiting businesses throughout the four-hour event window.The Fall Wine Walk offers an easy way to enjoy Antioch’s downtown in a festive and social setting. The keepsake tote, commemorative glass, raffle entry, and take-home bonus bottle add to the value of the ticket and help make the event memorable beyond the afternoon itself.The event is sponsored by Raymond Chevrolet Kia in partnership with Antioch Fine Wine &amp; Liquors.Registration and full details are available at <a href="https://secure.rec1.com/IL/village-of-antioch/catalog?filter=c2VhcmNoPTQyNzk3NDA%3D&amp;fbclid=IwcGRvZgFleHRuA2FlbQIxMABicmlkETFlVFllejc1bFYyczkzNHJsc3J0YwZhcHBfaWQQMjIyMDM5MTc4ODIwMDg5MgABHkASbQ9BPAC-S2bKKmsVCnN4Cb3Xly1wImXFJEJGQRlN6qBR3EYxm1h1hxvj_aem_nZtivL6TAZl5Rj6QukyJkg" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">https://secure.rec1.com/IL/village-of-antioch/catalog?filter=c2VhcmNoPTQyNzk3NDA=</a>
