“I’m normally a little skeptical regarding escape rooms but I played along for some coworker team bonding… except this escape room was actually fun, interesting, and challenging! We had a really fun time and Agent Storm was very attentive and thorough in all of our explanations. Thanks for a fun afternoon outing, Agent Storm! The puzzles in the room we did were both attainable and challenging, and I loved hearing about things we had missed at the end of the session. We had a great time and the session was very well designed!”

“We recently celebrated our wedding at Ovation, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience! From the start, the team at Ovation (Nicole & Cydnei) displayed a high level of professionalism, handling every detail with care and attention. They were responsive, organized, and truly dedicated to ensuring that our day went smoothly.

The venue itself is stunning, offering a beautiful blend of elegance and charm that set the perfect backdrop for our special day. One standout touch was the vintage car they provided for us to drive in and take photos with—it added such a unique, romantic element that our guests loved.

Speaking of guests, everyone had an incredible time! Devin created an atmosphere was relaxed and enjoyable. We had so many people that said they couldn’t stop dancing.The Ovation team was on top of every detail, from the setup to the flow of the evening. We couldn’t have asked for a more perfect experience and would highly recommend Ovation to anyone looking for a venue that’s professional, stylish, and truly dedicated to making your day memorable.”

“Visiting the National Museum of Puerto Rican Arts and Culture feels like coming home.

Even though it’s in Chicago, the moment you walk in, you feel the spirit of Puerto Rico. The culture, history, and energy are so beautiful and welcoming.

You’re not just visiting a museum. You’re walking into a space that feels like familia. Warm, proud, and full of love for our roots.

If you haven’t been yet, I highly recommend it. It’s truly a special place.

In the summer time they have music in the park with live bands playing today’s hits or old time favorites. Bring a lawn chair and enjoy the music.”

“Was here for a wedding. The place is huge. Could use a revamp because it's old and noticeable. The woman's restroom is up the stairs and they are kind of steep. It's big and had 3 stalls. The men's is on the main floor. Of you need a big plane for 200+ people then this is it but don't expect an updated look. Parking isn't that great either.”

“The Create Space team hosted our retreat group in Greece, and they were fantastic! This was our second trip with CSY, and from meeting us at the airport to seeing us off at the same point, they went above and beyond to ensure our safety, scheduling and enjoyment. They participated in every retreat activity with us, knew every traveler on a first-name basis, and addressed every concern with urgency and kindness. By the end of our trip, they were family, and our only question was, ‘When will we see you all again?’ Kudos and gratitude to CSY!”

“We had our daughter’s 3rd birthday party here with approximately 16 toddlers. Sara was so helpful, accommodating, and the event was seamless. We brought our own food and dessert, did “open (coffee) bar” which was super reasonable and Sara helped keep the event running smoothly. I’d highly recommend waiting until the last 10mins to do the cake because you can’t go back into the play area after that. Sara also suggested this, which was super helpful. This place is such a convenient and clean option for a low stress toddler birthday party.”
