Lincoln Springs Resort, Central Illinois’ newest family destination, has a unique variety of activities for visitors of all ages. Attractions currently open for your enjoyment include the Stovepipe Grill & Smokehouse, our computer game center (The Game Nexus), our ultimate miniature golf course and Abe's Garden.
Stovepipe Grill & Smokehouse
As you pull in the drive beneath the shadow of “The World’s Tallest Abraham Lincoln Statue”, you’ll find The Center where you can purchase tickets for our current attractions or have some of lip smacking barbecue at the Stovepipe Grill & Smokehouse.
Barbecue is a lifestyle and our flavors, smells and tastes come from years spent exploring the barbecue palaces and shacks across the four corners of this country; witnessing and experiencing the love and passion the kings and queens of barbecue have put into their creations; and learning how and why their rubs, smoke and sauces bring tears of joy to the connoisseurs as well as the novices of slow and low cooking.
Taking the lessons learned seriously, we developed our signature approach to creating the “Best Darn Barbecue You Will Ever Taste” Personally selected cuts of pork, beef and chicken are hand rubbed and slow smoked to mouthwatering perfection and served with out of this world sauces.
Miniature Golf Course
Located just south of The Center is our 18-hole professional miniature golf course and beautiful Koi Pond. Challenge yourself and your friends to a round of stimulating mini golf that takes you up and down a gradual hillside accented by streams, waterfalls and vivid landscaping. We host annual tournaments including a Father’s Day Tournament and the Lincoln Springs Resort Open which is a qualifying tournament for the National Harris Cup Tournament. This year, we will also introduce leagues to the mix.
The Game Nexus
The Center is also home to The Game Nexus, our high-tech computer game center, with an assortment of console games and computer stations. Here you can sit down and play one of today’s most popular console or computer games, check in with friends and family by e-mail or surf the Web.
The Game Nexus is a fun, “kid-friendly” environment that encourages the healthy, social and competitive aspects of gaming. The age restrictions of the Entertainment Software Ratings Board (ESRB) are strictly enforced. The Game Nexus' administrative system governs the use of all the games according to the specifics on an account — so a child can’t access a game without parental consent. It is very important that we make sure everyone has an enjoyable, safe, fun time at The Game Nexus each and every time.
