“A great place for a fun outing. I really appreciate the pricing model of flat rate per 15 min of bowling, and shoes are included. It was incentive for those of us who weren’t super keen on bowling to go ahead and participate. We put up bumpers and just focused on fun!”
“Went here for a birthday party . Everything was perfect except I wish we had more time cause we were having a blast. From the scheduling ,to ordering food-drinks and the hosts Louie, Meg, Ryan it was all perfect .Thank you”
“Josie LOVES sit social and we absolutely love to bring her here because we can tell how happy and excited she gets when we arrive just at the door. Once we walk inside, she forgets about me and dashes into the room! The people who work here are really sweet and kind, making it trustworthy for us to bring Josie here. We love receiving the pup updates during Josie’s stay here and seeing the cutest photos! I’ve done a ton of research before selecting a daycare to bring Josie to and this place definitely gave me a sense a relief. Thank you Sit Social for loving Josie as much as we do.”
“Amazing class. I learned a lot. The instructors were patient and friendly. The food we cooked was terrific and the group environment was really fun. I will definitely do another of these classes.”
“I attended a wedding here and the food place was a very good venue. The food was great but I wasn't sure if it was catered in or made on site. Service was very good. A wedding I will remember for a long time. The bride and groom came down the fire pole as they entered the reception.”
“My 12 yo is loving the instructors and fellow students. In the last 2 1/2 years her technique and skills and confidence have increased tenfold. The instructors are skilled, positive and so very dedicated. Also, she just finished her first year with the competition group and is looking forward to another year!”

“As a wedding photographer I was in love with this venue. It has a lot of space. A lot of natural light. Gorgeous ceremony area outside. Beautiful bricks wall for pictures. Was so satisfied.”
“Came to area for my husband birthday. He loves old, classic, hot rods so I planned this outing for him. When we walked in we were greeted very well & got a good explanation of everything. This is a huge place that everyone can enjoy. It is 2 stories but there are several bathrooms which was a plus. All the vehicles were great & we enjoyed reading all the histories of each. This museum is much more than the cars. It is a fun nostalgic atmosphere to be in. Even got to meet & talk to owner in elevator. Recommend highly.”
“Attended a winter concert inside the Martin theatre and it was a wonderful experience. We had seats in row N and we were able to see the performance perfectly. Greeters/ushers were friendly and helpful. I would definitely attend another winter concert at Ravinia.”
“I go to car related events .This place has improved with the world of wheels over the years. I still miss the lowrider hopping contest they used to have when it was at Mccormick Place. Maybe one day they'll bring that back”
“Excellent services. Great food. One draw back the speaker system was set so loud , you could not enjoy the Christmas event. For that reason, I would not have them host any of my events.”
“Extremely pleasurable experience wonderful if you’re a history buff add a pinch of jazz and 19th century spark! Guys.This is a spectacular mansion full of wonder and pristine glamour that you cannot see anywhere else. Very pleased with Angela as she provided my group a stellar tour! Loved to witness the joy in her eyes over the gladness she’s shared within The Colvin House.I only recommend this visit to those seeking an elegant gothic revival within their day to day. On a Tuesday I visited with my team for their Kevin Fort & Andy Brown concert and it was just total harmony. BYOB wine quaint seating and delightful bites. Please dress well or business casual wonderful location to host corporate events or weddings.Gladness peace and kindness to all.”
“We could not have found a more perfect venue for our wedding on July 12, 2025. From the moment we showed up for our tour and met with Monique, we knew Kenilworth was the place for us. The venue is beautiful, historic, and well-maintained, yet the pricing and contract requirements are completely reasonable and fair. We felt comfortable and at home from that very first visit. We also found an excellent caterer (Catered by Design) from their preferred catering list. Monique was a dream to work with--so organized and punctual yet laid-back and flexible. We received so many compliments on the venue from our guests. While we opted to have both our ceremony and reception indoors, Monique allowed us to open up the lawn and patio to guests for cocktail hour, which was absolutely stunning and a huge hit. I would recommend Kenilworth to anyone looking for a wedding venue!”
“I came here today with my husband and our experience was amazing. Full bar, great food, and awesome service. The drinks came out fast and our server was super friendly. It was our first time and as soon as I mentioned it, she explained everything to us in great detail. The service and drinks were better than those at high end restaurants!! Will be coming back soon 100%”
“I decorated an engagement party & Tatiana was an absolute pleasure to work with. She constantly checked up on my team & I to make sure we had everything we needed and if we had any questions. The space was beautiful and the rest of the staff were so attentive as well. This is a beautifully kept club and I hope to be back! ?

“I visited for my State ID and a learner driving permit, it took less than one hour to complete the application and other formalities and got both the documents. Very kind staff to help and a hassle free and quick process.”
“My second home. Great classes, events and community options. There are a lot of different type of classes and workshops. You can even attend free events. Try out yoga, knitting or the drum circle.”
“I visited the Christkindl Market at Wrigleyville, and they have the booths/shops put up by the Gallagher Way. It was a nice experience, and I was able to enjoy the hot cocktail and other treats. There were benches, chairs, and tables for patrons to sit. I am looking forward to next year's Christkindl Market here in Wrigleyville.”
“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.”
“Always have great family events for members and family of members. Amazing Christmas party! Santa and Mrs claus stopped by! Otherwise it's a closer knit group”
“It was AMAZING to see the Home Alone house. When we were there, over 50 people arrived. The big thing to remember is that that is someone's house, so be respectful. It was really cold to see the house even many many years later.”
“I rescued a very timid 8-9yo Gordon Settler 4 years ago. thanks to their incredible patience and love, this dog flourished and grew to heights that I thought she would never reach. I needed to put my dog down this week but wanted to thank, Jasmine (Gidget would follow her rather than me) Giselle, Edward, Francis, and too many to count for their devotion to the dogs they care for. I will always be thankful for service.”
“A must see! Give yourself plenty of time to see this museum. Great displays telling the Holocaust stories. They do have guides to walk you through the displays. We haven't used them, but I'd recommend using them your first time through. I've been here 2 times and haven't taken enough time to see all in detail. Make sure you plan to see the 3D Holocaust survivor exhibit. It's a hologram of a survivor sitting on a chair telling their story. You can ask questions, and they answer. Very cool. They have a VR experience. I'd recommend you go to that. However, the technology needs upgrading. It's worth going to. Overall, highly recommend you visit and great for young adults to understand what really happened. Learn from history, so this never happens again.”
“An unassuming wedding venue from the street but once you walk in you realize this is a prime event space thoughtfully renovated with modern amenities. The event room has 2 walls of windows providing fantastic views and the outdoor covered patio is something to behold. There are a ton of spots to take your intimate wedding photos at including water, bridges, weeping willows and manicured gardens. I highly recommend checking this place out for your wedding or important event reception.”
“Clean rooms, good service. Evanston is a great town and this hotel is right in the middle. Walking distance to a lot of great shops and restaurants. Will be back.”

“This was the least expensive bowling option on a Saturday. The staff was nice and patient with my first-time bowling toddlers and teens. Will definitely come back.”
“One of my most favorite candy shops in America. Something about their dark chocolate peanut butter buckets makes me always go back and get more. So many truffle flavors to choose from as well.”
“I am such a fan of the Cook County Forest Preserves . And one reason I love them is that there's always something new to find and explore! Every time I visit I fall in love again.Today I visited the Volunteer Resource Center (VRC) near Edgebrook Woods. They held a program for Black History Month; I really want to support this type of cultural programming within the FPCC system, and it's an added bonus that it sounded interesting.The VRC is right near the Edgebrook Golf Course--the same entrance is for both. But unless you've been to an event here or go to the golf course, you're unlikely to known this was here. It's a really great event space which the FPCC rents out for various events. There's a different rate for county residents versus non-residents, and the cost differs for Monday-Thursday and Friday-Sunday dates. However, the rates seem really reasonable to me. There's a main room which is especially lovely; there's a large fireplace, high ceilings, and a lot of space--this room can hold 100 people. The classroom is much smaller and can accommodate up to 40. Both those spaces can be rented independently of one another, and I think you can rent portions of the golf course as well? All the information is on the webpage. The main room has a kitchen space as well so you can work with a caterer for your event. I wish I had an event for which I could use this space; I'll bet it's especially beautiful in the spring and summer. There are picnic tables just outside the indoor facility, and parking is plentiful as well.”
“Great location on the north shore for concerts and other events. Venue hosts the occasional big name performer ( singers and musicians) as well emerging artists. A lot of fun! The space can also be rented for private events and functions, too.”
“A park and a beach is along the lake. Gillson Park is the best thing about Wilmette, and beats any of those overcrowded ones farther south. If you want to actually be able to walk on a beach and not feel crowded, then head up a ways. Be careful about where you park because you can find places for free. There's also plenty of green space for athletic fields. Gillson is a big park, and that makes it feel not as crowded. It has several different parts. There's the actual park with the grass and trees. It's often very quiet here. Where's all the people? At the beach. This beach is still less crowded than any of the Chicago beaches full of both locals and tourists. It has a nice little play area. The sand is pretty clear of debris for the most part. Also at this park is a big a** marina. There's lots of boats, and there's also a club you can join if you can pay up. However you spend time here, just be careful about parking or it may be costly. It has pay lots close to the beach but you can find free parking on the residential streets. They have certain places where you can't park though, so pay attention to signs and whatever.”
