We've been here four or five times now, and my 3-year-old absolutely loves it! One of my favorite…read morethings about this play café is how easy it is to keep an eye on your child while actually getting to sit down and enjoy your coffee. At other play cafés, I feel like I'm constantly getting up and following my daughter around just to see what she's doing. There are a few areas where you'll need to move around to keep an eye on them, but for the most part, the space is really open and easy to see. It's so nice to be able to sit back, enjoy a coffee, and let her play independently while I watch from the sidelines. We always have a great time and will definitely keep coming back.

I went to Main Event Hoffman Estates to attend a birthday party for a friend. As soon as I entered…read morethere was a line of 15 children snaking out of the bathrooms. Our party was at the bowling lanes. The lanes are available per hour. While bowling our group ordered some food. The food was standard for a bowling alley. Not great but not the worst. The entire time we were there were very loud announcements for birthday parties that were going on. After bowling, we went and played in the arcade. The prices were incredibly high. For a loud and unruly atmosphere, I will not be returning to Main Event Hoffman Estates!

We had a girls bowling date. I was able to reserve a date online and we booked 2 hours. The price…read moreincludes bowling, shoes, fees and taxes. You can have up to 6 people on a lane. We had a group of 5 and had plenty of room to sit. However the area is quite narrow so it was hard to talk to the whole group. You can add bumpers to each bowler. It's easy to take on and off. You can also add a group selfie to the tv which was quite fun. There was a drink and food menu on the table. They do not list any items as GF. I had to do a lot of research prior to understand what I could eat. The server was knowledgeable. I informed him I was celiac/gluten free. He indicated they have a dedicated fryer for fries so we were able to share them. We also ordered a couple cauliflower pizzas. For drinks, I ordered a peach sangria and frozen strawberry margarita. The food was delicious and the fries had a great seasoning.

It's such a fun date idea, and I loved all the scenery, waterfalls, and little water features throughout the course!

Went here for a brunch as a group and had a wonderful experience! I really like how spacious the…read morevenue is here, with plenty of space to move around and casually hangout. From what I saw, it looked like Pinstripes could easily accommodate several large gatherings happening at the same time without feeling too noisy or crowded. Even with a good number of people enjoying different events at the same time, service was still quick and friendly. The food here was also delicious. All the different fruits and vegetables that I tried here were fresh and colorful, and I really appreciate the extra effort they put into good presentation throughout the buffet. This gave me the feeling of enjoying a nice brunch on a more luxury line of a cruise boat. In particular, the carved meats and various stations like the waffle, omelet, and chocolate fountain stations really stood out. Not only were the items here delicious, but it really gave this brunch a more premium feel and was great for fun pictures with all the customization options available. Overall, great event space with a great brunch option available. I'd like to return here another day to try some of the activity options and try more of their dining options.

Recently went on a double date here with my husband and friends, and we had a great time! The venue…read morewas clean, and the employees were friendly, even though they seemed to have something stressful going on at the front desk. The staff checked us in quickly, got our shoe sizes, and handed us our bowling shoes before directing us to a high-top table to wait for our lane. It looked like they were coordinating with a family still sitting at a lane with kids, possibly checking if they were finished so they could clean it for us. After about 10 minutes, we were seated in that same lane I mentioned previously, which had two comfy leather couches facing each other. The space was clean, roomy, and comfortable. The place wasn't too busy when we arrived, but there were a few large groups hosting work holiday parties, despite it being late January. We had a two-hour reservation, and the experience was a blast. Our lane worked perfectly, and the blacklight atmosphere added a fun touch. One of the coolest features was the interactive avatars, which changed accessories as we racked up points. I didn't order any food, but my husband and friends did, and they all loved it. I tried some of my husband's croutons from his chicken Caesar salad, and they were well-seasoned. My friend enjoyed her gnocchi, and her boyfriend liked his chicken Caesar salad as well. Overall, it was a fantastic experience, and I'd definitely bowl here again!

It's gigantic and has everything I need. I am a senior who loves to swim and I met other seniors there during the week when most people are at work.

Once done you are led to a axe throwing station, the associate then gives you instructions on how to throw the axe, brings you a bluetooth speaker for your music, shows you a card with games and goes over the beverage menu and tells you about upgrades including a machete and larger axe,after that its time to play! Let me tell you this is a workout, a fun workout. It takes a little while to get the hang of throwing the axe but after a few tries you will get it. We opted for 1 hour which was plenty of time to throw, laugh and hang out. Once done we checked out (price wasn't bad at all) and you are good to go. I definitely recommend bring your spouse, family, and friends its a great time with great service and associates.

Not only is the park one of the cleanest that I've seen in a long time, it's a mix of nostalgia and value from years gone by. You can tell that the park does a great job of hiring and training their team for patience and attentiveness to their guests of all ages. Nobody ever seemed distracted by there cell phones which is so important in an environment that caters to young children. Food and beverage wasn't cheap, but just above today's fast food out on the street, and quite frankly portions that could be shared. Last but not least, the rides all seemed to be in great working order. We never felt any concerns with the girls riding any of them. I strongly suggest a family visit if you're going for your first time, or returning again with the next generation.

It is conveniently located off of I90 and Dundee. The parking lot was pretty good for its size and, while we did arrive right when they opened, we had no issues finding a parking spot. Plus, as we were leaving, we saw a lot of open spots. The place does have a few restaurants but the food is decent for what it is. It will not be a 5 star groumet meal. We had the pizza and it was delicious. It reminded me of a school pizza growing up and a little bit of Sbarro. It filled us up and our picky 3 year old loved it so that was a bonus. We also went to a different location to get freshly squeezed lemonade and iced coffee. Both were delicious and perfect mid day snack during sunny afternoon The bathrooms were clean enough. The rides were fun and staff was very friendly. At the end of the day, we stopped and greeted Santa. I loved this experience since he was very patient and kind to our daughter. And it was very personalized. I was under the assumption was simple, and pose for photos but no... he talked to her and read her signs as to how comfortable she was. I appreciated Santa so much since he could tell she was getting a little scared and nervous. Overall, it is a fun place to be especially as a child. This one visit convinced us enough to become season pass owners as we left the park. We will be back in the near future.

The Crabtree Nature Center & Trails is a fun place for the whole family. There are varying trails depending on the distance you want to cover: short & longer up to 3.5 miles approx. Trails are well maintained however it's good to know that they are not paved and are mostly grassy, a bit muddy (if it's wet) and uneven in places. The path offers plenty of shade and nice bench seating areas along the way. It's a very pretty trail and the fall foliage is beautiful!
