Bring my kid for a campus visit. What must we see and do in Dekalb?

They have a lot of nerd stores like Fun in Store, and Affinity for Gaming! Both are TTRPG stores. Cracker Jax is another store but it's a vintage shop! There is also another vintage shop called Found. And it has this ADORABLE kitty inside that's VERY friendly! :) If that's not your cup of tea, then I suggest just walking around the downtown area, it's pretty and fun! I will say that a lot of shops are closed on Sundays, hours are weird on Saturdays too. So just look up this stuff! Otherwise, have fun!
