“I just love this place. So much history here. Not a big chain. You open the door and walk back into a time when life was simpler and kinder. It just feels like a home, a community. You can feel it with all the young people working there. They are just great. Smart and very attentive, trying their best to do whatever they can to help. OK, I'm old, but it's one of those things that makes you feel that the world is going to be ok with kids like this. And they've been working there for at least 3 years from what they tell me. How many teens work in the same place for 3 years, or come back from college to work in the same place? That says something about the management. I had a question about their pricing as the charge is $55/hr. In the old days, it cost $6/per person per game. Then, $2 for shoes. So, $8 per person per game. That would be $32/half hour for 4 people. But, they are charging $27.50 for a half hour. That's actually cheaper if you do the math. Way back in the late 1950's my older brother was a pinsetter here before they had the machines to set the pins. One of his jobs was cleaning the sticky grease off the tables, railings and bowling balls from all the food people brought in. So there's that as a reason to ask people to not bring food in. (That's my same brother who dated Ann Margaret who used to live above the bowling alley!!!) So, it's a funky place with lots of memories for me. If you want that special sparkling new mall feeling, then this is not your place. If you want some atmosphere with everything you need, it's great. I'd love to be there for the Big Labowski Tournament. Anyway, for my taste: 5 Stars.”
“Came here with the work team and it was an absolute blast - Abi (girl I’m so sorry if I’m spelling this wrong) and Ben were super entertaining and made the experience so much better! Could not recommend more”
“This was exactly how I envisioned this culinary boot camp would be! The staff was amazing, friendly, knowledgeable, and very helpful! I would recommend this course to anyone who loves to cook and eat great food!”
“I took my senior dog, Tori, for her first grooming session at Sit Social yesterday. These are pictures the groomer sent when they were finished. The cut was perfect and she came home soft and smelling great. They also took care of all the regular maintenance (nails, ears, teeth clean). They did a great job and I highly recommend them for your pet. (Their daycare services too!)”
“Where do I start? The staff was so professional and accommodating. They had a helpful answer to every question we asked and made it very clear that we were the priority. As the mother of the bride, I expected to be stressed, but I wasn't! This was truly a perfect setting for our family's wedding. Thank you, Firehouse!”

“The event was well planned and in an amazing space! Our host was super friendly and helped anytime we needed it. The music was upbeat and the atmosphere was one of a kind!”
“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 loved working with Michelle! We are introverted folks and we felt extremely comfortable with her. We hired her for engagement photos and wedding photos. She was very responsive in all communication. It is clear that she has a lot of experience in the field and she truly wanted to capture us, not some cookie cutter wedding version. The photos were absolutely beautiful! I really appreciated that she focused on what we wanted, and was able to deal with family and the wedding party well. She brought great energy on the morning of the wedding- both energizing and calming. We would totally hire her again for any photography needs!”
“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.”
“Unbelievable collection of unique vintage cars. The Northern Illinois Chevelle club I was with were blown away by the quality of the vehicles in this collection. You won’t be disappointed!”
“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.”
“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 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”
“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.”
“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.”
“We’ve been participating at Dovetail for 6-7 years now for ballet, musical theater and summer camps. My girls have enjoyed it all. Highly recommend this gem in Albany Park!”
“A great place! We’ve been bringing our daughter here full time since she was 3 months old and it has been exactly what we’ve wanted and needed for childcare as two remote-working professionals and as someone who was exclusively breastfeeding. The playmakers are so great with the kids, my daughter lights up when she sees them every morning. The space is clean and inviting; it truly feels like a second home to us! A great little community of parents as well!”
“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.”
“Fantastic Club! It has it all for families; Dining, Fitness, Swimming, Tennis, Golf, Paddle, Pickleball, Beach, Fishing, Boating, Lake, Club Parties, Sports Camp, Adult Lake Deck, Fitness Classes!”

“Good place to stay if you think about proximity to tge airport, convention centre, surrounded by places to shop and have fun.However, i found that it is overpriced and theIn-room dinning service was underwhelming.Was shocked when housekeeping opened the door without knocking and didn't offer an apology 3 hours before checkout.”
“Awesome place to wind down and have a great time. The prices are reasonable compared to other places, and the food is delicious. The bar is super nice and has a large variety of different drinks.Overall, the place is great and really clean. Would recommend!!”
“They have activities and events for the family throughout the year. We went to the flannel and flapjacks and had a great time. For a very reasonable fee, we were served all you can eat breakfast, there was live music and a Santa, arts and crafts, and even a photo station to capture the experience. Even mimosas were unlimited. Nice place to mingle socially and enjoy family time.”
“I have attended a of couple events at the OLC. Great facility for anything from a small board meeting to a seminar. Good WiFi in the auditoriums and the ergonomic chairs for the attendees are so much better than typical chairs at hotels for a session that lasts hours.Nice modern, professional space with helpful AV staff and HD livestreaming options for attendees an presenters.”
“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.”
“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.”
“Well the place is good. The gentlemen who are in charge of maintenance look a bit bad as if they were doing you a favor apart from the fact that the service is paid for!!”
“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.”

“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.”
