“Wife and I took our grandkids here and all had a great experience. Was impressed how friendly and happy to help all the staff were. Natalia at the concession stand was outstanding.”
“Highly recommend the live music/ beer garden throughout the summer-- Dogs are now allowed at Cantigny on Mondays (excluding holidays) Garden has signifcantly improved over the years as well!”
“Did my Sons Welcome baby party here, I love this place, I would do every event here If I can. Definitely recommending it to all my people. Thank you to the entire team for making sure my event is flawless!”
“Had a great time at the {Em}Power Tools 101: Bench Planter workshop on June 4. We learned the proper way to use power tools and applied our knowledge to create our own cedar planter that looks like a bench. Everyone's bench turned out beautifully - thanks to the help of our leaders Massiel and Aimee. Mine is now beautifying my front porch!
To learn how to create a woodworking project in a fun and safe atmosphere, register for a workshop at That Girl + Co!”
“Had a wonderful time with my 4 year old, car-loving boy! The owner was very knowledgeable, friendly and enthusiastic.
I cannot wait to visit and experience again, this time with my Dad, who grew up playing with these!!!!!
Thank you, Mike !”
“We hosted our fundraiser at the Carlisle this year and it was an outstanding experience. From the initial meeting with Laura to every email, planning session and day of assistance, this venue and its staff far exceeded our expectations. Laura is a true professional and helped make our event that much more special. Our guests loved the food, ambiance, and location of this venue. We look forward to hosting our future events at the Carlisle.”
“The Katherine Legge Memorial Lodge provides a peaceful and picturesque setting for a wedding or special event. This venue features a beautiful historic building that overlooks stunning gardens. Guests consistently appreciate the unique blend of rustic charm and natural elegance. While the beautiful outdoor spaces allow you to celebrate amidst nature, the historic interior ensures you have a lovely and memorable backup location should the weather require it. The Lodge is highly recommended for an event that feels intimate and special.”
“I went there as a chaperone for my son's field trip. It was full of fun things to do and educatuonal stuff. The kids could learn about how people lived in 1980s, and what houses and schools looked like 200 years ago. The coolest thing was that we could see the process of horseshoe making. In the blacksmith shop, a lady showed us the whole process from iron melting to cooling it up. It's definitely worth visiting especially with young kids.”
“This post has got great leadership, dedicated hard workers and post members that support the post along with the public. stop by or call and see what is on special that night as far as the food great pulled pork great tacos, great wings, all different nights”
“Sawmill Sports Hub is basically the Disney World of suburban sports—minus the mouse ears and plus the smell of gym floor cleaner. It’s a big, shiny, newer facility with a full-sized soccer field, multiple volleyball courts, and basketball courts so nice you’ll be tempted to lace up and relive your “glory days” (before remembering your knees are not what they used to be).
There’s plenty of seating for all the helicopter parents, so you can hover over your kid’s every move in comfort. Bonus points for the prime people-watching—nothing like seeing a dad go full NBA coach over an 8-year-old’s rec league game.
And when the inevitable “I’m huuungry” hits—whether it’s your kid or you—the concession stand is right there to save the day. They’ve got snacks for post-game celebrations, mid-game bribery, or just stress-eating through overtime.
Overall, it’s clean, spacious, and well-run. Whether you’re here for soccer, volleyball, basketball, or just to perfect your sideline commentary, Sawmill delivers.
Five stars for making youth sports as enjoyable for parents as it is for kids… almost.”
“I've been a proud Member of NCC for 32+ years. Our golf course was renovated 2005-07 and is always in perfect playing condition. Our clubhouse and dining facilities were expanded and modernized in 2021 and our food and staff have never been better. Although we've had a waiting list for several years, NCC is the best value in the western suburbs and Member opportunities are available. Please direct any questions and interest to Atusa Freyer at the Club.”
“I attended a special event at the Mansion with Geoffrey Baer for WTTW. The place is very cool. Some of the rooms have been restored to their original furnishings and some are bare. The library, chapel, and hidden staircase are highlights of the mansion. The weather was not good for outdoor activities on the day of my visit, but the grounds are nice and would make a great place for a walk on a nice day.”

“I love my forever church. I searched for a long time and finally found Bethel UCC. Open and welcoming with a wonderful spirit and great music. The members are welcoming but not smothering. Come by and give Bethel UCC a try.”
“We recently hosted our Son's 4th birthday party at BIG and it was a huge hit! We had 30 kids under the age of 8 and the staff was so accommodating to all ages! So many parents said it was one of the best birthday party venues they have been to and that after, their kids asked to have their party there too. We will definitely be back!”
“I had my baby shower here and it was more than any of us could have asked for! It was right in town, plenty of room to accommodate everyone, more than enough time for set up and tear down and very affordable! Warren Tavern has an old time charm to it and I think that is what makes it so special. We also had a person of contact for the day in case we were to need anything. I’d host any special event at Warren Tavern!”

“Great place to stay for little get away! James the valet was incredible. He was so kind and funny and gave great suggestions for restaurants to try. He's great at his job and we truly appreciated him!”
“Bowling is good for a fun night out.
But theyre not traditional bowling pins, they are on cables, so after they are struck, the cables pull the pins back up.
Would not recommend this facility for any competitive league players, as the cables on the pins most definitely effect the natural physics of the ball striking the pins.
The facility itself is very nice with good pricing. So if youre just looking for a fun time, this place is fantastic.
Bowling, arcade, pool tables.
Good time here.”
“Ashbury is one of Naperville’s most sought-after neighborhoods, offering something for everyone. Residents enjoy a beautiful pool and clubhouse exclusive to the community, along with miles of bike trails, open green spaces, and nearby parkland that make it easy to enjoy the outdoors.
Families especially appreciate having Patterson Elementary School located right within the neighborhood, with Gregory Middle School and Neuqua Valley High School just minutes away.
With its strong sense of community, outstanding amenities, and highly rated schools, Ashbury truly offers the best of Naperville living.”
“My son is on the bowling team and this place is like a second home for me being there almost everyday of the week. Check the desk for league information also has youth league as well.”
“We got married at the Bolingbrook Golf Club on 10/17/2025 and couldn’t have been happier with our experience. Jill was absolutely one of the best people we could have hoped to work with—kind, patient, accommodating, and always helpful.
We chose the East Room rather than one of the larger ballrooms because we wanted a smaller, more intimate vibe, and it was perfect. Any issues that came up during the planning process were handled professionally, and Jill truly went above and beyond to make sure we were happy.
Our rehearsal dinner at the Eagle’s Nest restaurant was excellent, and the staff was fantastic. During the rehearsal, when we opened the box to assemble our arch, we discovered they had sent the wrong piece and we couldn't put it together. Jill immediately stepped in and offered the use of the club’s arch, saving the day. On our wedding day, everything went incredibly smoothly, thanks in no small part to Jill, who helped our planner and best man set up the ceremony space.
We visited about a dozen venues before choosing Bolingbrook Golf Club, and we couldn’t be happier with our choice. It was the perfect place for our wedding, and we wouldn’t change a thing.”
“Great place for family fun and casual bowling! Pool tables, food, drinks, arcade and bowling. And I gotta give shout out to the staff and Manager for helping us out with a large group and accomodating a special request! Look for their bowling specials.”

“Trendy modern hotel with eclectic vibe. Rooms are simple and clean with a basic easy to maintain layout. Pet friendly which my family appreciates. Breakfast area is small offering limited selections but has vegan options. Their voucher system for getting Breakfast is a little confusing. You look at the menu in the nook, then walk back to the receptionist and place your order. At that time you need to order all your Breakfast choices to redeem your voucher. I can't go at 7am as I'm the early person and wait for others in my family at 815am. I either order for both my vouchers or wait til others in my group are ready. This is less preferable to other hotels which allow us all to eat when we want.”

“Hotel Arista was the perfect venue for you. From the start, Katie was very responsive, helpful, and just so easy to work with. We went from not wanting a hotel wedding at all, to having our reception there. Katie was always there to answer my questions and thoroughly answer them, from questions about the contract to random ones throughout. She made the whole process so much easier! Her help and flexibility made such a difference.
The entire staff at Hotel Arista is amazing! Everyone we worked with was so friendly and accomodating. The reservations team made it so easy to have rooms added to our block and explained things to me when we had questions. Everyone was so immaculate.
Our reception was absolutely perfect! Everyone loved the food, the ballroom was beautiful, and Katie and the staff made everything go off without an issue. A few things did come up, but they were quickly resolved.
Also, our cake was through a local bakery, part of the contract, which makes things easier (one less vendor to try and source) and everyone raved about it.
With everything Hotel Arista provides, it's so convenient! You aren't trying to source out multiple vendors because they don't provide them - Hotel Arista takes the work out, and provides top of line ones for you.
We loved going from our reception, to the bar with our friends, and then to our rooms on our wedding night. No coordinating on how to get there or who was, just everyone walked over there, and the party kept going.
If we could do it all over again, we would definitely pick Hotel Arista!”

“When checking in Lariya was friendly and helpful. She offered to look up my Hyatt number and did. When I asked if there was hot water nearby to make tea she explained there was tea and a microwave in the room but she would happily get some for me. She went above and beyond in everything she was asked. Thank you Lariya”
“As bowling alleys are falling 1 by 1 regularly, this center does a good job taking care of the lanes and machines while upgrading everything else and staying Modern. Managed well with reasonable prices. Great for league, open bowling and parties.”
