The 88-acre Redmond Recreational Complex offers something for the entire family…read more Our girls mostly utilized the space-pod themed Redmond Playground on a Sunday morning. There were only three other kids playing so we nearly had the whole playground to ourselves. The girls enjoyed climbing up the ropes, coming down the slides, and running around the playground on the rubbery ground. There was an ongoing basement game that my husband stood and watched for about 15 minutes until his girls summoned him to push them on the swings. There are picnic tables, basketballs courts, and volleyball courts as well.

I always come here to run and exercise--it's the perfect spot for outdoor activities. The park…read morefeatures baseball, football, and basketball fields, plus a children's playground that was upgraded just last year. There's also an almost one-mile walking trail, ideal for both jogging and leisurely strolls. I love this place, especially on July4th when they host concerts and you can watch the fireworks right from here.

As expected, this arena is pretty pricey for food and drink (estimate $50 for 2 large drink cans)…read morebut I like the ease of getting in and out of this location. For comparison sake, I really liked the intimacy, vibe and look of nearby Rosemont Theatre for a smaller concert. There are plenty of local restaurants to dine at before a show. However, be prepared to wait in long restaurant and traffic lines to get in and park or exit a concert. Patience will definitely be needed. If you are using shared ride or getting picked up, walk to nearby Target or Ross Stores and get dropped off or picked up there instead. Although it was a Summer night, I am glad I opted for gym shoes vs. sandals, as the much used bathrooms had wet, disgusting floors and the Ladies room layout is very strange. There are two hallways of stalls but you have to walk back towards to stalls to use the hand dryers. Definitely not a well designed layout. But closed toe shoes are a must, in my opinion. For a concert (we saw Styx and Chicago) you can hear and see pretty well from section 101, Row H. Stairs can be challenging to navigate without a railing but ushers help light the stairs if it is dark. I have bad knees so I took the stairs very slow, so as not to trip...or spill my expensive drink either!

I have been seeing concerts and sporting events since this arena opened in 1980. Seats are somewhat…read moretight but you should have pretty good views and the sound quality is good depending on the sound technician. There are various food and beverage vendors throughout as well as a number of restrooms. The biggest complaint is the parking. Overpriced and very slow to get in and out. Overall,a decent place to see events outside of Chicago.

I've been to Berens Park a few times now and it's a great park. There's multiple baseball fields as…read morewell. There are a couple playgrounds, one of which is part of The Hub, an area that has the playground and batting cages, splash pad, and even a miniature golf area! I'd not be surprised if this park isn't the gem of the Elmhurst Park District. They have events here for families and adults. There's tons of parking. There's currently construction underway on a new park district on a new community center, so it will be great to see what takes place there. In the meantime I'm looking forward to checking out the playground and splash pad and maybe playing some mini golf.

I was there for today's 10:35 am game with the New York Boulders, they play night games and day games, and sometimes 10:35 am on a weekday morning, they only have won more weekday 10:35 first pitch for this season and that is tomorrow morning with the same team, and they have games in August at home.

It's less crowded and for what you pay everything is included. The unlimited food and drinks which are not cheap there. They have Chicago style hotdogs, burgers, Italian beef, snacks and beer and wine. The views on the rooftops vary but ours was nice and the weather was great. We took the el this time and it's so convenient to get off right at Addison. They beat the Pirates 12-2 and we had a great time!

You get such a great feeling of history in this historic 1950s ballfield. They have real dugouts for teams, plenty bleacher space, a scoreboard with scorekeepers (by hand scorekeeping!) And a cute sandbox with buckets and shovels to keep little ones busy. Also, a snack shack with very inexpensively priced beverages, food, and sweet treats for your family. The volunteers who run this place are amazing and really pleasant! We happened to go to watch the older boys play an all star game memorial day weekend and they had some extra fun activities going on. There is a parking lot, but it is small. You can also park on some side streets. It is definitely an enjoyable time!

This year at Fan Expo, it was a lot more disorganized than past years. I've been going to the…read moreconvention since when they were Wizard World, over 14 years. This was the first time, the photo op section took longer than 1 min to print out the physical copy of pictures. The physical copy used to be so fast that they would be ready by the time you turn the corner. It took about 40-45 mins to receive my physical copy this past Saturday. The parking garage was atrocious. It took 50 mins to leave the garage. I had to park on level 5 and that was about 1.5 hrs after they opened the doors to the con. Usually, leaving the garage would be no issue at all. For some reason, it took about 40 mins just to go down one level. I understand that they were understaffed but the customer service should still remain good. Almost all of the celeb autograph tables accept cash for autographs, table selfies, and combos. For some stupid reason, they decided to make Sam Witwer's table prepaid and orange ticket only. I know it sounds dumb, considering the bigger names were cash only. I prefer giving the celeb exact cash amount instead of paying extra taxes to Chicago and Leap Epic online. Anyways, the guy in charge decided to be a grinch and not let me and another girl into the line. We both paid extra money for the all weekend pass. Overall 2 out of 5. 2 stars only for the celebs, vendors, and handing out with other fans. Minus 3 for the incompetent staff.
