Travel the USA to Joliet and visit the world’s only extreme sports theme park. Locals come here to play paint ball, skate board, BMX and mountain bike and let off some steam! Challenge Park is worth the visit when you travel the USA to Joliet. William Shatner visited Challenge Park to play paint ball and when asked if it hurt getting hit by the paint balls, he replied, “The sting of the paint ball is part of the mystique of the ball game. So, the kick of running and jumping, dodging the paint ball goes right back to your childhood. And the competition of trying to make the points to win the overall thing is a rush.” Travel the USA to Challenge Park and tell all your friends you hung out at the same place as good old William Shatner.

Challenge Park is an outdoor venue and is open Wednesday through Saturday, all year round, regardless of weather. So, it doesn't matter what time of year you travel the USA, you know you can get the thrill of a lifetime at Challenge Park!

For excitement of a different kind when you travel the USA, check out Joliet's Splash Station. Race your friends or family that is traveling the USA with you down Miner's Mountain, a six person racing slide. Personally, I like the more mellow thrill of floating around the 850 foot Raging Rapids Ravine.

If you like the excitement of double down, visit one of Joliet's casinos when you travel the USA. Both Harrah's and Argosy’s Empress Casinos & Hotels are here to thrill you with a little gambling and fine dining. For something off the beaten path, take in a flick at the Rialto Theatre.
