Find it all as we tour the North Shore with delicious goodies at every stop. We will have lunch at the iconic Buck Russell’s (named for John Candy’s character in Uncle Buck). Let us do the driving as you soak in all the sweet, delicious treats, along with some history as we bus through the North Shore. Transportation is by Park District bus.
