I used to live near there, your friend is right. There is fun to be had a couple hours away in nearly any direction, but it isn't in Rockford. Starved Rock State Park is about 90 miles south and pretty cool. Wisconsin is very cool and immediately north. But honestly, I'd bite the bullet and check out Chicago. Drive into O'Hare or nearby and take public transportation, if you'd rather not drive downtown.
