My kids have been taking tennis lessons here with Coach Becky for about a year. And they love her!…read moreIn fact, when I mentioned to my 5 year old son today that I canceled tennis lessons later this week he started crying. Clearly a fan! And then there's my 7 year old daughter who refuses to do any sports, but she happily heads to tennis with Becky each week. She even told me last week that Becky definitely deserves 5 stars on Yelp, which is probably the reason I'm finally getting around to writing this review! Becky is fun and patient with the kids. She does 30 minutes with the my son and his friends, followed up with 30 minutes with my daughter and her friends. It's a fast lesson, but she gets a lot of tennis in during a short time It's impressive to see how the kids have progressed over the year. They are actually hitting the ball over the net now...and had a consistent rally the past few weeks. While Becky was on maternity leave months ago we signed the kids up for tennis at AC Nielsen and I find this to be a much better experience. The facility itself is nice- mostly lots of indoor tennis courts, but also a few outdoor ones as well, which we haven't been so lucky to see this cold spring. There's a small waiting room, but the kids not playing tennis usually just run around the other side of the court while Becky teaches. There's plenty of parking right outside and it's conveniently (or maybe not conveniently) across the street from Target. We've only had private lessons with Becky here, but I've heard good things about their basketball and tennis camps so may sign my son up for one of those in the future. And I may even brush the dust off my tennis racquet and take an adult lesson at some point too.

Between me and my kids I think we take tennis at most clubs in the North Shore. We've taken…read moreprivates here with Maria Fernitz who is fabulous when it comes to teaching both kids and adults. It seems to be easier to get a court here than some of the other nearby clubs (ex: North Shore Racquet Club) and it's always pretty quiet. In fact, there's many Friday mornings (during this pandemic) where we've been lucky enough to have the club to ourselves. The billing system is a little confusing. They invoice you and if you do a semi-private lesson with a few kids they can't seem to split the cost. Sometimes they invoice me and sometimes my son's friend so there's lot of consistency. We figure it out between us, but would be great to just pay for half the lesson each week, which doesn't seem to be an issue at any other club. For example, I take a lesson at Northbrook Racquet Club with 2 other friends and they split the cost between us at the front desk. Overall, been pleased w/ their covid protocols from masks to hand sanitizer at the front. It's also an easy drive from our house in Glencoe. I haven't taken any of their classes or from any other instructors, but Maria herself is 5 stars.

Five Butterfly tables with barriers and serious players - this is where you get better. There is also a coach who gives lessons (multiball and advanced training). Time: 19:30-23:00 Mon-Fri. Ring the bell if the door is locked. The quality of table tennis is much better than most clubs in Chicago (Spin, Killerspin, Mr Pingpong) - highly recommended if you want a serious game.

In June, my grandson celebrated his third birthday at Skokie Park District. It was so much fun!…read more He is totally into trucks of all kinds (excavators, diggers, school buses, and more). Skokie Park District did not disappoint. The children (including other 3 year olds, along with their siblings, both older and younger) had a blast on the moving small cars, seeing the tractors, playing in the bounce house, and more. There was an area for serving pizza and birthday cake, which we brought in, and the two staff on-site were so helpful when it came to loading and unloading, and anything else we needed. A FABULOUS time was had by all! One wonderful caveat: the staff were nice enough to have a personalized "Welcome" sign outside the building to welome my grandson!

It looks exactly the same and they have managed to keep it in good condition. It's nothing fancy but it's clean and well kept. I love that they have two kid pools, one with a bunch of fountains and that connects to slides and another that is more basic/quieter. There was plenty of seating and lots of staff/lifeguards around. They do adult swim for the last 10 min of each hour. One less star because it is very expensive for non-residents ($18 per person). My infant was free, thank goodness. I guess if I think about it that is about the cost of a movie ticket. Anyways, I will probably not be going as often as I would like because of the cost.

The park is located very close to Lake Shore Drive with plenty of paid street parking on a Saturday morning. We booked the class on-line. No instructor information was given.

However my husband is very new to the game. He has never played on a court outside of me trying to teach him the basic once before. I think this would of been helpful information for the instructors to know. I did inform them after our second drill. I think both instructors did a good job after that of modification for him. i.e. using Orange ball. I did enjoy this class. I got a good workout and had a fun time. I liked the warm up and games played. It was a nice way to start out my weekend. Instructors were good at breaking for water. I don't recall a cool down. I would be interested in signing up for additional lessons. It would be helpful to know if during the 4 week lessons if there is a dedicated tennis pro or if the instructors would rotate.
