“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!”

“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.”
“Hot Ground Gym is incredible! Two of my kids attend HGG camps and days off school regularly and they LOVE IT. And our youngest is old enough to attend camp with her older siblings this summer too! I love HGG as a parent because of the confidence it builds in my very different children. Recently HGG came to our elementary school and donated their time for our students to enhance leadership + teamwork. It was inspiring and I am so grateful for HGG’s involvement in our local community. You cannot find a better place for your kids to discover their own strengths. Thank you Sam & Doug!”
“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!!”

“Beautiful little park, wonderful trails for running, walking, biking. Sandy beach area with fire pits. Fantastic beer garden next to the water. I don't think I've ever seen a place with all this before.”
“Wow!! I can't believe a shop like this exists today! A hidden gem! Everyone was super helpful in finding just the right gift for my wife even though I don't know much about jewelry! They even wrapped it for me. Nice! I suggest any man looking to find a unique gift for his special person go here.”
“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!”
“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!!”
“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!”
“went to the fair tonight and the prices are just insane. $10 for parking, $15 per person entry, $17 funnel cakes, $8 fountain drink PLUS $4 for refills, $10 for a corn dog, $20 for a game where you throw 5 tiny balls at balloons. $4 water bottles should be $1. it's just absolutely insane. i enjoy the food and atmosphere but damn. make it reasonably priced!!!”
“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.”
“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.”
“We usually stay here when visiting family, and have recommended it to other out of town relatives. The staff is great and accommodating. My only complaint during our last visit was that the room was not as nice as our prior visits (pretty run down), and the hotel was overrun due to an EDM concert at the fairgrounds. I only wish they would have put the concert-goers on the same floor(s) together and put "regular" guests in a different area. The halls reaked from all of the pot smoking that was going on, and the partying was non-stop. They broke the elevator, and to the hotel's credit, it was repaired in a timely manner. Overall, the hotel is a great value and we love the staff. I just hope the next time they have a crowd like they did, they segregate the groups so everyone can have a good visit.Rooms: The rooms are functional with a kitchenette and full-size refrigerator. They are a little dated, but it's a great value.”
“Great gym, trainers are knowledgeable, equipment is up to date and members support each other. Personal training sessions are individualized and very motivating.”
“You cannot keep operating this property in its current condition as it will ruins HYATT’s brand value. It needs renovation asap. Please close this property for renovation asap.”
“Stopped in for a quick drink to enjoy the summer evening, and was given excellent service at the bar by Morgan. Service like hers will ensure we stop back again!! ??”
“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 :)”
“I think that the "mean lady" referenced in previous reviews has either retired or been fired lol, as the young man and woman I've encountered the last two times have been very friendly. The course is in really good shape. My only issue is with the contrived tee shot landing areas. I play the blue (back) tees, and on holes #1, #8, and #9 the creek could not be in a worse place. On #1, a decent player is forced to lay up with a hybrid, 5-iron, or 6-iron. A drive of 235 will go right into the creek. #8 is very similar. It's only 220 yards to the creek on the left and 240 to the right. But a very difficult "carry" of about 270, for anyone not named Mcilroy or DeChambeau. I hit a straight 3-hybrid right into it today. Then, same thing on #9. I went way to the very back of the tee box where it's 240 to the water and hit 3 wood into the wind right up to the edge. The maintenance staff should try to create a tee box further back on these three holes, so that it's not a mid-iron followed by a fairway wood to get home in two on these three par 4s.”
“Excellent hotel and very helpful and friendly staff, especially David at front desk and Jackie in charge of the restaurant. Jackie looked after all of my gluten free requirements. Thanks to all for making our stay very enjoyableRooms: Very comfortable and spacious room.Food & drinks: More than adequate complimentary breakfast”
“This is my favorite movie theater to go to in the area. They have a ton of theaters, so they’re typically showing a great selection of movies and times to pick from.As a short person, I enjoy that these theaters have stadium seating. I’ve never had a problem viewing a movie here.I’d recommend purchasing tickets in advance for this theater so that you get prime seating. The only downfall is that the fees are pretty steep for purchasing online. However, I’m not going to join a subscription service so that the online fees are lower.”

“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.”
