“I took my mother and sister-in-law to paint on wine glasses as an early Mother's Day gift. They loved it and I enjoyed it very much as well! I thought they were going to have selected designs for us to choose from but surprisingly the teacher told us to pick anything even off of the internet and she helped us individually with each design we picked. They also had pictures of some designs you could use as inspiration. The space felt a bit too small and crowded especially if you decide to bring food, you probably want to eat everything in the first 30 minutes before you start painting, because there won't be any extra space on your table space. Other than that the teacher was wonderful and it was overall an enjoyable time.Edited to add: a little sad, I found a paint stain on my coat couple days later. I had hung the coat on the wall but it was very full and in the passage, so maybe someone brushed against it when walking by. I messaged B&B on Facebook asking for advice on how to remove it and got no response.”
“My husband and I got married here and from the beginning of wedding planning until the end was very easy with Concorde.
We had our ceremony at their outdoor garden and we did not expect our turn out to be as big as it was, haha. Thankfully the space seats about 100. For our wedding reception we used room A which has windows throughout.
We worked closely with Peter and Pat and they were both friendly, accommodating and readily available for any questions, concerns, etc. The entire Concorde staff is extremely kind and they nailed it with our wedding vision. Service throughout our wedding was phenomenal. Food and drinks were constant and dirty dishes/glasses were taken away quickly.
This venue is gorgeous and I'm so happy we choose it for our special day.”
“Hot Ground Gym is one of the best after-school activities for kids, helping them develop both physically and mentally. The well-trained instructors build strong relationships with the children, encourage their individual growth, and teach valuable life skills like problem-solving and teamwork. Our son absolutely loves this place and the constantly changing weekly missions and obstacles!”
“Janet is the absolute best coordinator to work with. This banquet hall was where my family and I threw my mehendi and wedding. It was gorgeous and the staff is a 10/10. My guest even lost a diamond bracelet and one of the janitors found it at 3am and returned it to her. We are so grateful to choose this venue. Thank you for everything Janet, we could not ask for a better venue.”
“We rented the entire roller rink for a kiddo birthday party and had a wonderful experience from start to finish. The staff was helpful & responsive through planning and then friendly and fun on site for our event! Just For Fun Roller Rink was clean, well managed, and such a blast! For the adults who grew up with lots of roller rinks, you will LOVE reliving your childhood. They have a snack bar, video games, black lights, disco ball, DJ who takes requests, and trainers to help new skaters. We will absolutely be back with our family, it was a great experience!!”
“Love bowling here! A lot of nice upgrades recently to the center, it looks a lot different than it used to! Chris, the manager, is always welcoming and pleasant and the lanes are always oiled. Stop by and have some fun!”
“If you are looking for something unique, this is the place to go!! The ladies there are the owners and are extremely helpful!! Some things may be a little pricey but worth it. Take a little drive and check this place out. You won't be sorry?!??”
“Desiree was absolutely amazing from the beginning all the way to the end to help make our wedding Absolutely perfect! If it wasn’t for her, I don’t know where we would have been, but I am glad we had her there to help us. I highly recommend The Seville for anyone who is looking to have a fun and fantastic wedding at a reasonable price. A lot of people loved the food as well. The drinks and the bartenders along with your personal assistant throughout the wedding makes everything go by so smooth. I highly recommend you ask for Desiree when you first want to look into the venue because she will set you up from beginning to end, and will be there for you anytime you need her.”
“The rooms at The Forester are crisp, clean and oh-so- comfortable. Decor is elegantly artistic. The area/parking - quiet and safe. The Staff are professional and prompt.My personal fav: the breakfast menu offers a sophisticated take on every day classics - the items we ordered were delicious and beautifully prepared.We enjoyed our short stay - will return!”
“Can’t say enough good things about this place. Mac was awesome, so friendly and ready with tasty beverages throughout the day. Plenty of space, quiet, and fantastic prices. My wife and I worked there all day long to give my parents and the grandkids some time together. We will absolutely return without any hesitation!”
“K1 Speed was an ideal place to hold our corporate event. David was amazing, so professional and helpful which made this a great experience! We rented a meeting room that worked out perfectly . While we mostly had fun, we were also able to get some work done and make it a team building experience. We’ll be back!”
“This place is great! My experience from the moment I walked in was wonderful! The staff, the rooms, the service overall. I felt safe and my room was impeccable. The location is very convenient, close to small shopping areas but not too close to any major traffic spots. If you’re thinking about staying here, i highly recommend!!”
“Nice place. We were in the room behind the bar room for Knights of Columbus dinner.8/27/22 steak & chicken cookout with the Knights of Columbus. A great deal for a complete steak meal! Only $20 for a strip steak & it included dessert & coffee.”
“I was there to play bingo and the men who ran the event were so very nice, very helpful to explain the games and they all made me feel very comfortable. It was a very nice night, even though I didn't win, I had fun.”
“I rented an office here from April 23-Dec 23. The staff here is fantastic. They are very friendly and will do everything possible to make your stay hospitable and warm. No internet issues, coffee is always great and the other tenants are also pretty amazing. I will wholeheartedly recommend this place and Andres, the community manager is rockstar.”

“I’ve been looking for a place for my 5yo son to do robotics. There are no places around me that offer robotics classes for under 9yo, so when I found Kids STEM Studio in Schaumburg, I was very excited to see that they had options for him! We did a trial class, and my son absolutely loved it!! Even though we live 30 mins away, we are planning on signing him up for a weekly class this summer. He is very excited to start going more regularly.”
“We held our company Christmas party at One Life Kitchen and it was wonderful. The venue was decorated perfectly for the Holidays and we enjoyed the hands on cooking while enjoying a glass of wine and appetizers. Lauren and Tammy were the perfect hosts! The entire evening went so smoothly and the food was excellent. Highly Recommend for any special occasion/event.”
“Our daughter loves her team and coach. If your child is ready to go beyond park district soccer this is the club for you. Being a private club expect to pay and volunteer. But, we've watch our child grow rapidly in the few months she's been there.”
“This is my favorite Bowlero! So pretty and nice. They have a video game area for kids, pool tables, and bar/grill. The staff are always pleasant. I always go back to this spot!”
“I want to thank the Manager David for helping our party enjoy our visit. It was my cousins 9th Birthday and he went above and beyond to make this party memorable for her. We thank you very much Sir. We will definitely be telling friends they should consider doing parties here. :)”

“Metropolis is a great location and a beautiful venue for any occasion. They have multiple room sizes for all occasions so whether your event is an intimate gathering of a few friends or big celebration for hundreds of relatives, they have something that will fit your needs. The entire staff is top notch. I've had the pleasure to work closely with the special event producer, Anita, and she is absolutely fantastic! Her entire team goes above and beyond to make each event worry-free. As one of Metropolis' vendors, I have heard nothing but positive feedback from my clients. Metropolis is truly a fantastic experience and should be your go-to venue to create lasting memories for any special occasion.”
“Incredibly nice stay! We stayed for 4 nights for a local dog show. Location was very easy, and layout of Suites was very convenient to outside exits. Greatly appreciated the designated dog area complete with bags and garbage holder. Very helpful and considerate. Rooms, hallways exercise room and laundry were extremely clean, spacious and comfortable. Kitchens were equipped with everything needed for our short stay including toaster, microwave, and any other appliance to use if asked. So nice to have a clean laundry on site. Staff very friendly and helpful. We had a problem with a faucet and heater, they immediately had someone (Oscar) come up to investigate and he promptly and courteously handled our needs. Because of this experience we will seek out Sonesta stays in the future. Thank you!”
“TOP TRACER....Located within the country club. Found out it does parties and just to hang out. There is food, drink, and alcohol available. Awesome game for kids to play and have fun on a beautiful day. It has heaters available for chilly days. Very nice atmosphere. Great customer service. Very clean with bathrooms available. ENJOY!!!”
“We were hosting a birthday party in March for 30 people. Food and service were great. Good variety of appetizers and main dishes. The dance floor and the stage are a big improvement from what I remember from several years ago.”
“Quiet location, but still a bit of a drive to 94, but worked for my needs. Area felt safe and there was a lot of things around. Room was clean, but had a slight damp smell from the AC unit. Beds, bedding, mattress pad and mattress were clean when I checked for ged bugs…no bed bugs either! Bathroom appeared clean. Security lock on door was falling out of door jamb and needed repaired and I thought that should have been noted by housekeeper and fixed between guests. Room was large. Staff was friendly. Just had fruit and yogurt for breakfast, but looked better than typical hotel breakfast food. I do not stay at Hilton Garden Inns often, but will look for them more after this stay.
Rooms: Bigger than expected. Bed was comfortable with a firm but cushioned mattress. Housekeeping did a good job. Mini fridge had a small freezer which was great for an ice pack.”
“Will definitely stay here again when in Schaumburg. We were attending an expo nearby and the commute was super close & easy. Everything we wanted to do and see was a short drive from the hotel. The staff was friendly. Our room was great! Spacious and clean. The breakfast was good, the area to get food and drink is a tight squeeze but they have additional seating available. Very satisfied with our stay.”
“Perfect Venue!
I cannot express my gratitude for all the staff at Avante, they truly made this experience amazing. As an out of state bride, the staff at Avante were very accommodating to my schedule and when I was in from out of town I could visit to lay out what I wanted on my wedding day. Day of the wedding they were available for my family helping set up and making sure we had everything we needed. During the event they were very attentive and accommodating to all the guests, making sure everyone received what was ordered and helping if they needed anything.
The food was amazing! I was nervous people would not have enough to eat, but everyone of my guests left full and could not stop talking about how great the food was! The prime rib and chicken franchise was cooked perfectly and the desserts were the perfect sweet treat at the end of the night.
I cannot thank Marinella and the rest of the staff for everything they did to make sure it was the best day of my life :)”
“A place with that suburban feel. If you don't want a stressful movie date, this is the place to go. It has all the basics of the usual cinema, a place to buy snacks/food while watching a movie, clean restrooms, courteous staff and the like, but I don't know if they have those fancy lounge chairs. There weren't a lot of people when we went, and I noticed that there's not much places to go after the movie. It's a good movie experience overall if you want to check it out.”
