The performances at the Paramount theater are so well put together, the acting is top-notch, the sets are beautiful, and the talent/music/staff is competitive with Broadway in Chicago. They put out an amazing deal so you can buy two tickets for the cost of one for four shows. What a great deal! The theater itself is lovely and the location is wonderful, with many good restaurants nearby it is easy to make a full evening out of attending a show!

The last of a dyin’ breed of SUPER MALLS. If you have not been to this mall yet, please be advised that this is one of the PREMIER malls across all of America. I’m not exaggerating friends, Woodfield mall has such a lively clean and well crafted atmosphere from any entrance you walk in from and it is always filled with people and you will find even on weekdays many people strolling through this mall with a smile on their face. Need a major department store that’s not available in other malls? Woodfield mall got it. Seeking to find the most unique and amazing shops, kiosks, restaurants, quick bites, nail salons, massage parlors, and/or you want your eyebrows done? Woodfield mall has it all. This mall is so large that you will get lost in it but they have a QR code as soon as you enter that you can use to pull up a map - or you can do as I do and wander the mall and find niche shops that truly can’t be found anywhere else. Even the Kiosks in between the malls are amazing and diverse whether you need a watch battery replaced or the latest new gadget or gizmo, Woodfield Mall has it. Take your Kids, Take your Wife/Husband/Partner, take everyone or go solo but just go to this mall and experience the infinite possibilities within. I’ve been here so many times, over 100+, and I still- to this day stumble upon amazing shops I never even knew existed. This mall is extremely well maintained and the atmosphere will enliven the soul - it does for me. It even has a newer spot for you E-Sport players out here, come on now y’all, this is THE BEST MALL in AMERICA (in my opinion). Check it out, you won’t be disappointed!

I've been a member AMD have going here for yrs. I love all the events that they provide throughout the yr. I enjoy walking though the Arboretum it's so peaceful and enjoy finding the Artwork from different artists through out the years. Everyone who works there are so friendly and helpful. I recommend going if you enjoy nature. They have a cute area for kids and a hedge maze. I enjoy bringing family and friends from it of town here when they come to visit.

Don’t hesitate: We visited the park on one of its busiest days of the year, and the crowds definitely made their presence known—especially in the parking line/lot. If you haven’t prepaid for parking, expect a long wait. Pro tip: purchase your tickets and parking online ahead of time and have them ready on your phone—it’ll save you a ton of time and hassle. For frequent visitors, a membership is well worth it. The member lines were noticeably shorter, and the family membership option is a great perk—you can share it with friends and relatives, making group visits smoother and more affordable. If you have a membership card each person that comes in, you can bring one person with them for free. Once inside, the park is a breath of fresh air. It’s beautifully designed, easy to navigate, and offers a serene escape into nature. Every corner feels thoughtfully maintained and visually stunning. If you’re craving a peaceful outdoor experience, this park is a must-visit.

I love it here! Remy, who works at the caeser reward center is my absolute favorite. Always so very helpful. The rooms are clean, and they are very accommodating. The slots are hot!!!! Highly recommend!!

Absolutely amazing experience! The little museum section before going up was a great surprise — very well done and full of interesting facts. The elevator ride up was fast and smooth, and then… the grand finale! Standing on the glass ledge and taking a photo “in the air” was just incredible. WoW! A must-do experience if you’re visiting the city.

Visiting The Bean at Millennium Park is an absolute must when in Chicago! The iconic Cloud Gate sculpture is even more stunning in person—the reflective surface perfectly captures the city skyline, surrounding park, and visitors, making it one of the most unique photo spots in the world. Walking around and under it gives you amazing perspectives, and it’s fun to see the creative reflections from every angle. Millennium Park itself is beautifully designed, with wide open spaces, gardens, fountains, and plenty of spots to relax while enjoying the city atmosphere. The Crown Fountain with its digital faces and playful water features is especially fun for kids. The park is always lively, often hosting free concerts, events, and seasonal activities, making it a hub of culture and community right in the heart of downtown. The combination of The Bean and Millennium Park showcases Chicago’s artistic spirit and welcoming vibe. Whether you’re here for photos, a casual stroll, or simply to enjoy the architecture and nature, it’s a spot that leaves lasting memories. A visit to Chicago isn’t complete without experiencing this iconic landmark!

Definitely a very popular place to visit while in Chicago! Beautiful park with mature trees, areas to walk, see, and explore. The Bean is beautiful and very popular, lots of tourists. You can observe the different architecture of the buildings from different places in the park. I had a great experience overall☺️

The Art Institute of Chicago is an absolute must-visit and one of the best museums in the U.S. We used the CityPASS, which gave us express entry — no long lines, a big plus! The museum is huge and beautifully curated, featuring world-famous masterpieces by Monet, Van Gogh, and many other renowned artists. The layout makes it easy to navigate, and there are plenty of clean restrooms throughout. I appreciated the bag check area where you can safely leave larger items, though small bags and water bottles are allowed inside. The souvenir shop is also impressive — large and filled with unique art-inspired items. Whether you’re an art lover or a casual visitor, this museum is a Chicago highlight and a must-see attraction downtown. Spent around three hours there but could spend the whole day if we don't have other plans.

We had a fantastic time at Navy Pier with the kids! The highlights were definitely the thrilling SeaDog ride (with incredible views) and the fun rides at Pier park like the Wave Swinger. The Ferris wheel is a classic for a reason ..great for a relaxed view of everything. Food-wise, we were all happy with the burgers from Salt... the kids of course loved their Ben & Jerry's ice-cream after.. FlyOver Chicago was another fun indoor activity that the kids enjoyed. All in all, a perfect family day full of great sights and fun, a must go..if you're visiting Chicago.

Nice sportsbook with movie theater type seating. Big tvs. Other than the cigarette smoke, it's a great place to watch and bet sports

Clean, fun place! Every delicious candyr you can imagine. Staff were helpful, kind & generous with samples. No stinginess here!! Made us glad to purchase more than we’d planned! 😀🎉 Fun stop, worth the little detour. Our favorite: Albanese Dark chocolate gran marnier pecans!!

If you’re planning a trip to Indiana Dunes, don’t skip the area around the Pavilion—it ended up being one of my favorite parts of the park. The Pavilion itself is this beautifully restored historic building that sits right on the beach. It kind of gives off a nostalgic, almost vintage boardwalk vibe, but with updated features that make it perfect for a beach day break. You’ve got options—grab a bite to eat downstairs, cool off with some ice cream, or head up to the rooftop bar (my favorite part) and take in the views of Lake Michigan. If you catch it near sunset, it’s chef’s kiss. We ordered food from the café downstairs—think burgers, salads, simple grill stuff. I had the Italian beef and it was great and had plenty of meat. It’s not five-star dining or anything, but it hits the spot after hiking dunes or laying in the sun all day. I will say it was a little pricey for what it was, and service was a bit slow, but to be fair it was a packed weekend afternoon. The staff was doing their best, and everyone was friendly. The rooftop though? Worth it. Great breeze, amazing views, and it just feels relaxing up there. It’s the kind of place where you can sip a drink and lose track of time watching the waves. One thing to note: it does cost $12 if from out of state and $7 if you're from Indiana per vehicle to enter the State Park, which gets you access to the beach, trails, and of course the Pavilion area. Totally worth it in my opinion, especially if you make a full day of it. The beach right outside the Pavilion is wide and beautiful, with plenty of space (though it can get crowded in peak summer). It’s perfect for families, couples, or even a solo recharge day. And if you're up for a little adventure, the dune trails nearby are gorgeous and offer some killer views of the lake. My tips: – Try to go on a weekday if you can, it’s less crowded. – Bring sunscreen and flip flops – Definitely plan to catch the sunset. – And if you’re into photography, this place is a dream around golden hour. The Indiana Dunes Pavilion is one of those spots that makes you want to slow down and just enjoy where you are. It’s not perfect but it doesn’t need to be. The views, the breeze, the beach, it all adds up to a really special experience. Would I go back? Absolutely. And next time, I’m saving room for that ice cream.

Really nice and relaxing beach. I stopped on my way to Chicago and was glad!! Great scenery and soft sands. Noticed few people just having picnic which is great if I had the time. I highly recommend visiting

Very nice smaller park. It has a beautiful lake setting. The park wasn't very busy while we visited, the lines moved fairly quickly considering the rollercoasters only ran or had one train. Our favorites were steel hawg and lost coaster of superstition mountain ( which is very interesting and unique). Parking was free , so that's a plus. We had double cheeseburgers and fries and they were better than most amusement parks we've been to. Overall great park if you're in the area or live near. Also the walk through Dr Frankenstein thing was very enjoyable, though I feel it should be included with admission, I personally didn't mind paying the extra $3.50 to do it .

I surprised my mom and bff with a day here at the winery and let me tell you, we all had a wonderful time! I'm not much of a wine drinker but they definitely are and I still enjoyed the vibes, the atmosphere and the sweet staff. Highly recommend the winery tour because we learned so many things we didn't know, especially that the Oliver's are a wonderful family who have touched the lives of many. Kathy was our tour guide and she was knowledgeable and very sweet. The day was beautiful. I packed us a picnic that we were able to enjoy once the tour was over. Or you can purchase food and snacks at the shop. We left with some wines that they've never tried before so it definitely broadened their horizons. We can't wait to come back!

From the second you see the gigantic dinosaur cracking the building open from the car, it is an amazing experience. Every floor is absolutely packed with amazing exhibits. Things for children and parents, nostalgia at its best. On top of the amazing and beautiful exhibits, they have so many things for little children to do. The playscape is a life saver for kids who need to get some energy out. The staff is so friendly and helpful. They are so open to nursing mothers and mothers with small babies in general when it comes to feeding, relaxing, changing. 100/10 recommend. I'd go even if I didn't have kids with me.

A great place to stop for a visit! We were on a mini vacation in Indianapolis and stopped here on our way home. The playground alone made it worth it for our daughter. We also enjoyed wandering the village and chatting with all of the villagers and workers. The treetop play area was also a lot of fun. Stopping by in the spring also ensures you will see tons of baby animals. We even got to pet a few of the larger ones.

This is undeniably a wonderful place to unwind and try your luck. I greatly enjoyed playing the slots and tables, adding an exciting touch to my visit. The establishment exudes a sense of cleanliness that is commendable and adds up to the overall excellent experience. I had an absolutely good time and would confidently recommend it to anyone looking for mild, enjoyable entertainment. It's certainly a place you would love to spend some pleasurable moments.

Hidden racing gem of the Midwest! I just went to the racetrack. The venue is well kept, clean and comfortable. The staff is knowledgeable and super friendly. Everything is easy to get to. Race card was good. Burglar was amazing! If you are looking for a fun, casual and comfortable day at the races, this is the track for you.

First time here, went on a Sunday when they opened at 1pm...little line waiting to get in, not bad. A must see!! Wonderful biblical attraction with gardens, small zoo, 4D theatre, planetarium (10-15$ per person depending on 1 or 2 shows), zip lining (not included in price), aerial obstacle course (not included in price). Have a military discount and if u don't buy the Ark and Creation tickets together, make sure you bring your stubs to the other one, well at least when we went to Creation museum we would have got money off as a "bundle" for having already gone to the Ark. Everyone is super friendly! Lots of bathrooms and water fountains which again like the Ark I really appreciate! Coffee shop, ice cream, fudge, cookies, food and snacks, gift shops. Lots of reading as you walk through the museum but so amazing to learn as you walk through the Bible, literally!! The pictures below are just a few of the many things you will see and read! Definitely check this place out!!

I don’t know how anybody could give this market/amusement park. Anything less than five stars! When you pull up to the parking, make sure you pay attention. If you’re on the giraffe, or the rhino side, I didn’t realize that there was different sides to the parking lot and exited on the rhino side when I needed to exit the giraffe side. With that side, you will be entertained and taken back to some classics, candy, toys, so many things to look at and experience! The bakery section is amazing. What the heck is a butter bar, that was awesome! So many varieties of wine, and cigars! Temperature controlled! They have thought of everything and just a great place to walk around, and just look at. Great groceries, very unique, gable items, and very unique foods, some, I thought might’ve been a little pricey, but overall, what a great experience! I have been wanting to come here for several years, my daughter is in Kentucky, and decided to drive-through to check this place out. I will definitely need to come back with an ice cooler!

I’ve been to the Cincinnati Zoo several times now, and just went again this past Saturday (drove a little under 2 hours from Indy!). This trip I did the behind-the-scenes hippo tour and WOW—such an awesome experience for a big hippo fan like me! 🦛💙 Definitely a highlight of my visits. It was super hot that day, but thankfully they had a giant misting fan that I kept running back to—it was a lifesaver! 💨 The zoo itself is beautiful 🌳🌸 with so much to see. The elephant exhibit and snack area were wonderful 🐘—you can even eat an elephant ear there (yum! 🍩). Plus, we got to feed the giraffes 🦒, which was right up there with the hippo tour in terms of favorite moments. Just a heads up: it’s really hilly ⛰️ and there’s lots of walking 🚶‍♀️🚶‍♂️, so comfy shoes are a must. My only complaints: I wish the signage was a little better. I couldn’t find the sloth 🦥 (the app wasn’t up to date either), and the parking lot could use clearer signs too—we actually ended up wandering around a lot we didn’t even park in trying to find our car. 🚗😅 Other than that, always a fantastic time here and I’ll definitely be back again! 🌟

Such an awesome place! You'll be doing a lot of walking, but it's worth it. There's a lot of cool stuff to see! Be sure to ride the train! It takes you around the whole park and gives you some interesting historical facts. Definitely a fun place for kids too! If it's a weekend or special event, I'd purchase your tickets online beforehand. Plenty of parking, staff is nice and the food at the cafe is pretty good! Get the pancakes 👌🏼

Went to see Frankie Valli & the Four Seasons. What a blast from the past! Had an amazing time! The venue was clean & well staffed. Frankie put on one hell of a great performance at 91 years young! His back up singers were top notch! The band didn't miss a beat! Made a beautiful memory that will last my lifetime!

I went here for the first time last week and it is an impressive ballpark. There are 2 scoreboards that show different information. There are a wide variety of food and drink selections. Tons of fan interactions and dun animations on the scoreboards. We also got to watch Train performer after the game which was awesome. One thing I did notice that is different from Progressive Field (my home stadium) is that they do not have any drink or food vendors going up and down the sections. Also ut seemed like every time I went to the restroom, there were stalls that ran put of toilet paper.

Absolutely incredible experience. A museum like no other I've ever been to before in my life. I was super stoked to see the SR-71 and the Air Force one plane that JFK used. What an experience and I wouldn't change a thing. The main key is being able to interact with so many of the aircraft and my little guy loved being able to climb into cockpit and pretend he was a fighter pilot. The missile silo was huuuuge and nothing like I've ever seen before. The staff and volunteers were very nice and interactive as well. We were able to come on a random week day when it wasn't busy so we were able to enjoy ourselves without huge crowds. We will definitely be back!!

Amazing experience rides were all super fun and not to long of a wait for the rides. The Eiffle tower was cool to see and the music and atmosphere was super nice. If you love rides I suggest going here. Parking wasnt too bad but we did part pretty far. Food was decently priced as well. There is also a bridge not far south that you can walk across or drive to get to Kentucky

My biggest concern on going to this place was if I would be too "fluffy" to get through the passage. I am also a bit claustrophobic. These two things made me very nervous. I can tell you that it is very possible to do even as a very pear shaped 280 LB person. There are the 60 stairs at the end, but they are concrete, with solid handrails and the step rise is reasonable. So if you struggle, position yourself to the back of the line, and you will have less pressure to move quickly. I found the tour guides patient and funny. I focused on taking pictures to get through it mentally. The place is lovely overall. I do find the ticket price a bit high, but I find every ticket price high lately. To be fair, it is in line with the many other attractions and museums etc. The place does allow water bottles in the cave, I wish I had realized that upfront and I was very parched at the end. If I could do it over, I would take my nicer camera. I took an older one just in case.
