The kids seem to enjoy these birthday parties a lot. No one really checks the guest list when you host a private party. You also get access to the party room upstairs. All of this for 125 dollars which covers 2 hours and 15 guest. Given the low price I can see why lots of families host birthday parties at the pool.

Well kept, clean, and lots of up close experience with animals. This is owned by Champaign Park district. It has a petting zoo with lambs, donkey, and small goat which you can visit from 3-5 pm everyday. Otherwise you can see horses, pigs, peacock, chickens, and even turtles. There is a small playground area off to the side that little ones will like. All and all fun for little kids and best of all free! Donations accepted to help feed the animal if you feel incline.

This is for the youth run only. There were tons of kids in the youth run and it seemed to take a…read morereally long time to get things going between ages. The security for this race is top notch!. The kids get a bib with a number and the parents get a bib with the same number and "parent" on it as well. They will not release your child unless you are there and the numbers match. This was greatly enforced and being a first time parent at this I really appreciated everything and everyone involved with this event. They made sure the kids were safe at all times. Picking up the packet was really easy. Parking was great. The kids had a great time and what a rush it was for them to run into the stadium. My daughter enjoyed it so much that she wants to do the 5k next year. I paid $12 for my daughter to enter. She got a t-shirt, a string back pack and some coupons and they served mac and cheese, cookies, fruit gushers and water at the end of the race. It was so worth the money. It was really a great experience. The only reason I am not giving 5 stars is because of the wait between ages. We got rained on too but that is not their fault. And looking back on it the reason they took so long in between races was because they were making sure all the kids were accounted for. Really a good time and experience.

2015 was well executed from start to finish. This comes from the perspective of a half-marathoner:…read more Course The track is relatively flat and takes you through some of the best parts of Champaign. You go through a few different subdivisions which can get monotonous, but by and large the course keeps your attention off the fact that you're simply putting one foot in front of the other. Some of my favorite parts were the forest preserve and running through downtown Champaign. The setup allows for people to congregate along the entire course, which is much appreciated by runners. And, of course, you finish on the 50-yard line in the football stadium. Interesting side note, it's fascinating how different the surface of the football field was compared to running on concrete. It's a rubber-composite surface and definitely makes you wish you had cleats, albeit for a brief 50-yard stretch. Organization The race started on time, and packet pick-up instructions were well communicated. Throughout the weeks leading up to the race, organizers sent e-mails communicating potential scenarios regarding inclement weather which were well appreciated. They did a great job this year. The finish was well organized as well, and I found it very easy to figure out where to go and how to find food/beverages. Overall Experience Despite the weather being absolutely horrible, I had an awesome experience at the 2015 race. There were still a ton of people who stood out in the rain for hours to support all the runners. Finishing a long race like this is a triumph no matter who's running, and it's great to see people who recognize and appreciate it. To all the organizers and volunteers, well done!

On my first visit to this ice arena, I was impressed given the age of the building. Unlike many of…read morethe newer ice arenas which resemble metal barns with domed celings from the outside, this place has the look of one of the many university buildings on the U of I campus where it is located. Once inside, you enter a large lobby area with benches and lockers. This is where the skaters hang out between events. It provides a warm place to stay out of the cold of the ice arena between events. For many ice arenas, this kind of place simply does not exist. Often the skaters hang out in dingy, meat-locker type settings when there's a competition. Here, the skaters could spread out their stuff, relax, read, play chess or get a snack. The concession stand is well-equipped with chips, popcorn, giant soft pretzels, cheesy nachos and hot dogs. They have a great selection and are reasonably priced too. However, the place can be overrun and with only one person typically staffing the counter, the line can be long. If they would get a second person during peak times, I think they would be able to get even more sales, since some people will not wait for that long to order something. As for the ice itself, it held up remarkably well for the Land of Lincoln speedskating tournament. The rink is nice and wide, which gives skaters a wide outer perimeter on turns when racing laps. The corridors around the rink are narrow, but not too crowded since most of the skaters stay in the lobby till their race is up. The viewing area seating is above, lined with rows of benches, where you can sit and look down on the ice. It is high up and provides a pretty unobstructed view of the rink, even from the back row. The design of this building really works well and it makes me wish more ice venues were built in a similar way.
