“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!”

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.”

139 N Seymour Ave, Mundelein“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.”
“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!”
“My wife and I recently had our wedding at Loft 21 a few weeks ago, and let me tell you, the pictures, walk throughs and planning did not do justice to how amazing the venue was.My wife and I are planners and we booked with Loft 21 a year in advance, so you can imagine we had a lot of ideas for our wedding. The planning process with Loft was good, some minor miscommunication, but feel like that will happen anywhere when you're emailing back and forth for that long. We were quickly able to jump on the phone and hash out all the plans and timeline to make everything flow perfectly.Brittni (Operation Lead) did an amazing job for our ceremony and reception and made the day of so easy for us that we did not have to do anything before the wedding, other than setting up our own props. The pre-ceremony, ceremony, cocktail hour and reception went so smoothly, it's really hard to believe. I would highly, highly, HIGHLY recommend Loft 21 to any couple looking to get married in the area.I'd also highly recommend utilizing Loft 21s preferred vendors, specifically H.Y.P.E Media as the owner of Loft also owns them so it made the Music and Production so much easier on us.They allow you to customize pretty much your own event, from lighting to set up to bar package, to pretty much anything you can think of.Thank you again Loft 21, Brittni, Jazmine and everyone else at Loft 21 for making our day so special and easy on us!”
“Bowlero is probably one of the best places to bowl and hang out with friends. Management and staff are great and patient. Their manager Wes was working one of the nights I went and he was very welcoming and polite. 10/10!!”
“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!”
“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!”
“My daughters wedding here on December 9, 2023 was perfection. The ambiance and sheer beauty of the mansion was the backdrop for her spectacular wedding.

26225 Riverwoods Blvd, Lake Forest“Had a very enjoyable stay. I don't normally leave reviews for hotels but I had to let everyone know that Kim who ran the hotel bar and grill was totally awesome! After a bad restaurant experience at Rosebud's Steak House and saying goodbye to our son shipping out in the Navy I was feeling very low. But after some awesome wings and 2 Kim specials.... I was feeling no pain! Thank you, Kim for being awesome. For listening, and for your words of encouragement. I would cone back just for you! LBVS! To management... Give this woman a raise or one heck of a Christmas bonus. I think you may be underestimating what she does for your guests. It's not just pouring drinks and serving food.
Food and drinks: Kim is awesome!!!!”
“I went there for a yelp event. it was calledneon night and it was a fundraiser. I have never been here prior to it nor was I familiar with it. It seems like a wonderful organization. You can donate books or money, and it helps children that don't have the means to buy books and you donate money or books, and it helps them. The CM of the North Shore suburbs Keisha and her assistant were kind enough to organize this.”
“I rented an office here from April 23-Dec 23. The staff here is fantastic. They are very friendly and will do everything possible to make your stay hospitable and warm. No internet issues, coffee is always great and the other tenants are also pretty amazing. I will wholeheartedly recommend this place and Andres, the community manager is rockstar.”
“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.”

“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.”
“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.”

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.
