Absolutely she will love being outdoors. Just be sure to acclimate her.

2 hours outdoors day 1&2
4 hours outdoors day 3&4
Etc.

Also do the same thing with sunlight acclimation. Start in the shade and work your way up.

This slow acclimation will help you to avoid shock in your sago palm.

Mine is outdoors permanently but it never drops below 28 degrees in winter. But our summers are 110 degrees.
Your palm looks fantastic @SlinkyKale92.
Yes, in Illinois you can move it outside for the summer, just be sure to:
β˜€οΈ Acclimate it slowly to direct sun to prevent leaf burn
🌑️ Bring it back in before temps drop below 50°F (10°C) in the fall
πŸͺ΄ Keep it in a shaded to partially sunny spot with good airflow @CostaFarmsteam tagging you for any region-specific care tips! ☺️
We love Sago palms! These prehistoric beauties can withstand almost anything…almost! Once established and mature, they can take heat and cold depending on the season. But at that stage, make sure to protect it from heavy sunlight during summer and winter cold β˜€οΈβ„οΈ
