I had been here a few years ago to see The Producers with my husband, since I knew he'd love it…read more(and he did). This theatre consistently provides excellent experiences with top-tier quality shows, often drawing from local and Broadway talent alike. However crowded theatres get in downtown Chicago, and however surly their employees can be at times, the Paramount is the opposite on both counts. What a breath of fresh air! Better yet, the sightlines are terrific. Even in the very back, you have a great view of the stage, and the seats' heights are staggered enough where short people's views aren't easily blocked. Although the Paramount is quite far from where I live, so it's not a super frequent visit for me, that is not due to any lack of quality in terms of the experience or shows!

I had an amazing experience at the Paramount Theater! I went to see The Full Monty, and it exceeded…read moreall my expectations. The venue itself is beautiful, with great acoustics and a classic atmosphere that really adds to the overall experience. The performance was fantastic, funny, energetic, and surprisingly heartfelt. The cast did an incredible job, and the production quality was top-notch. You could tell a lot of effort went into every detail. Staff were friendly and helpful, and everything from entry to seating was smooth and well-organized. I can't wait to come back for another show!

Recently moved to the neighborhood and was so excited to try out this place after reviewing a great…read morevideo from the owner on Facebook. I was really hoping it would be my new neighborhood watering hole but that's not happening. The look alike Roz, from Monsters Inc, saw me and my two girlfriends looking at the menu. She didn't ask us what we wanted, she just walked by yelling "ONLY PIZZA". She was rude, inconsiderate and not to mention wrong, considering we ordered more than pizza. Tara was tending bar. She waited on us. She did her job. There's no reason to go back. Note to the owner, You will gain new customers if you make customer service your number one priority!

"Won" $80, paid $81.60 for the privilege of the 68 "free spins". So the 68 "free spins" bonus actually COST me $1.60!!!!! Wow, this place is worse than the casinos, and that's saying something.

Lady you should take a look at yourself and see how pathetic your actions are! I saw you scooting along carrying stuff and wearing high heels too. There's absolutely zero good real reason you claim this one spot DAILY! And people like you can really mess it up for everyone else. Try getting off your high horse for a bit, maybe you will really need that spot someday. Go f yourself ok

Honestly, this was just a mid-level haunted house compared to other large haunts I've been to…read more Their sister haunt, Disturbia, is way better. It feels like this one doesn't have as much money/resources put into it. I'm not saying it was terrible, but I left thinking "meh!". The 3D clown area is cool, but I've seen it done in multiple other haunted houses. When trying to figure out which haunt to visit, check out Hellsgate and Disturbia over this one.

We won tickets for the Lantern Festival which is a family friendly event located at Rivers Edge…read morePark. The festival runs from 430pm to 900pm. We arrived around 7 pm after dinner since we wanted to see the lantern launch. As you enter you are given a drawstring bag filled with a floating lantern kit,LED light,marker,playing cards and conversation cards. Apparently people said the lines to get the bags were very long when they opened. They did have a few food trucks throughout the park but again very long lines. As we walked around we saw various spots where people were launching their lanterns into the river..all different with pictures or messages written on them. Lines were long but people didn seem to care. Parking in the area is limited. I'm glad we went to see the lantern launch but I'm not sure I would go again after seeing the long lines.

Thanks to the Water Lantern Festival, I am now aware of this beautiful park and venue in Aurora,…read morewhere the Fox River flows through. If more events were held here, I won't be mad. I can see myself enjoying an outdoor standing concert, weather permitting. I love how there's actual bathrooms on premise rather than porta potties, and they even have signage for going in and out, so there's no traffic jam. The water lantern festival also had several vendors and food trucks there -- the lines were long and I didn't end up getting anything. The check in process was easy and we were able to make our own with the supplies in our drawstring bag. While we were here, Isaiah Grass was performing on the John C. Dunham Pavilion, and he is definitely a local, young talent -- had no idea he was a former American Idol contestant. This place is a perfect way to admire the beauty of nature / outdoors while also being able to lounge on the grass, listen/watch a performance etc all beside the Fox River. It's also very conveniently located across from the Aurora Metra station (BNSF) line, and there's also plenty of parking there as well. I'd recommend this place to anyone in the area, event or not.
