You'll have no end of sightseeing choices when visiting Darien. National Shrine of St. Therese is a great place to kick off here, but there are plenty of other interesting sights to appreciate. Promenade Bolingbrook, Cog Hill Golf & Country Club, and Burr Ridge Village Center are near the sacred place and will round out your day nicely.
