“Had a great time at this bowling alley. The place was clean, the vibe was good, and everything was super easy. Heather was the standout—she was super helpful and just made the whole experience better without even trying. Really appreciated how chill and friendly she was.
Definitely worth stopping by, especially if Heather’s around!”
“We love Janet. She was the MVP of our wedding. From fixing scheduling and contract mishaps, to finding us the perfect vendors, to adding small touches to make our night magical, to praying with and for us, Janet did it all. We treasure our time laughing and crying together over the year. The venue itself, with its fireplace, high ceilings, elegant setup, courtyards, and chandeliers is classy and refined. Don’t wait and book this beautiful venue with Janet.”
“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!”
“Concorde Banquets is truly an exceptional venue! The staff is incredibly professional, attentive, and welcoming, and their service is always top-notch. We recently provided photo booth services there, and as always, the event was beautifully organized with stunning décor and a warm, inviting atmosphere that makes every celebration unforgettable.
We can’t wait for the next event we get to do at Concorde Banquets—always a pleasure working with such an amazing team and venue. Highly recommend!”
“Emily, was the best! She was very nice, patient, thorough with her instructions, and super helpful all the way. It was a blast! We enjoy her, the painting and the music. We will be back!”
“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!”

“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.”
“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?!??”
“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!!”
“It had been the longest of days, experienced 3 seasons of weather over 500 miles in a box truck and trailer… Booked a room through my work travel app and arrived begging for nothing only rest… On the contrary my strife was not complete as there were issues with my check-in. (It happens often to be frank) What bares denoting and celebrating is the care and consideration, professional/innovative service that I received from Fatima to help and support my successful and correct check-in process. I don’t know when I have received such poignant and accurate information from such a bright young person. Just my 2 cents
I will be back and so will others on my company
Much Appreciation

“Brothers’ Field did a great job making karaoke happen last night even with a last minute cancellation from the DJ. The kids were happy and even some of the adults that got to sing too. It’s such a cool place to hang out during the late Spring, Summer and Fall. I hopefully look forward to some more karaoke events in the future.”

“We had our wedding at the metropolis ballroom in August 2025 and they surpassed our expectations! We worked with Anita and truly couldn’t say enough good things about her, she made our wedding feel like such a priority and met all of our needs! She was so attentive, responsive and present on our wedding day and all the months leading up! The venue was beautiful, was able to accommodate our large guest list and felt very us! We feel so lucky. Thank you!”
“Absolutely beautiful playground right on the lake, perfect for all ages. There are two different playgrounds for different age groups, one of which is handicap accessible. Lots of towers, climbers, music, slides and swings, and one playground even has a sandbox. The biggest downsides to this park is that's its wood chips and there's limited shade. There are some sunshades, mainly over the benches surrounding the playground, but the playground itself is fully exposed, so better to go on a cloudy day.”
“I find myself having to work from more co-working spaces than I'd ideally like, and I have to say that this place is my favorite by a distance. The office Clubhouse is a great space, it's well equipped and it's incredible value compared to any of the chains. Mac is personable, diligent and makes a hell of an espresso! Already looking forward to my next visit.”
“A great fair ( $15 entry ) with many free events like pro bull riders , rodeo , pig race , dog stunt show , k9 demo , lumberjack show , magic show , kids game show and loads of free gifts . I loved it and its super close to my house.”

“Great for winter! staff were very friendly, Conner the cook was very helpful in remaking my sisters pizza 3 times because of how picky she is with cheese.. food was great! very clean and much to do!”
“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.”
“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!”
“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.”
“Although a very challenging course, it is a great course in the area. Expect narrow fairways, mature trees and water in play on many holes. That being said great course in great condition.”
“I had the opportunity to visit this Bowlero location for a company holiday Christmas party and had a very nice time! The staff was very pleasant and accommodating, even going the extra mile to ensure there was something available for my dietary needs.
Unfortunately there are no pinball tables here, but I was able to play my best round of giant Pac-Man, adding my name to to scoreboard (boo yeah!)!”
“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.”
“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”

“Kent was absolutely amazing!! I was unable to book online for unknown reasons, and he helped me to make things super easy and smooth when I arrived. We had a wonderful conversation and he took care of everything for me! The room was clean and comfy and pretty, and the beds were soft and new. I will definitely be returning!”
“The hotel was well maintained and has a nice setting with a small lake right in front. The rooms are clean and well kept, and the staff was polite and courteous throughout. Breakfast, however, felt a bit underwhelming and could certainly be improved.”
“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.”
“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.”
