There are currently 16 locations throughout the suburbs. This specific location has been my go-to movie theater since I was a kid. I even had my 9th birthday party here. I love how not much has really changed over the years, and any changes that have been made have been for the better (except for price increases, but even then, their prices are still pretty cheap when compared to other movie theaters). My favorite improvement is obviously their comfier reclining seats. The seats even have a heating and cooling mechanism. I also love that they still offer free refills. Plus the interior hasn't really changed at all since I was a kid. It's the perfect 90s/00s movie theater vibe. I love getting the "kiddie combo" because it's the perfect amount of popcorn and drink for me lol. You can also upgrade to an icee for 50¢ more.

I typically don't write reviews, however this situation really frustrated me and I wanted to ensure…read moreI warn others before purchasing online tickets. I usually ADORE this location, but this situation caused a lot of trouble. (see bottom of review for summary/how I wish it was handled. Today (Thursday, Dec 4th), I was trying to purchase tickets to see the Five Nights at Freddy's 2 movie for tomorrow (Dec 5) at 7:20pm for me, my boyfriend and our two other friends to go watch. Unfortunately, right as I had purchased my tickets, the website seemed to have glitched. My screen showed "An error has occurred. Please try again." to which I was originally fine with trying to purchase again, but that was until I saw a notification from my apple wallet app that it had charged my card. I searched my email, kendall account, and even my junk mail. No tickets were popping up, so I called Kendall. Originally the girl I spoke to on the phone was nice and understanding, and could probably smell my anxiety through the phone, as I hate confrontation. She explains that there are no seats reserved under my name for that showing whatsoever, and that she'll contact her manager to see if there's anything that they can do besides me just getting a refund within 3-5 business days. (aka, without having to repurchase anything due to how im a broke high school student who can't afford to buy a second set of tickets). I was put on hold, which was no problem as I don't mind the music that was being played. The manager picks up and I re-explain the entire situation. The manager proceeds to tell me that "That usually happens when theres too many people on the website, you'll have to wait for a refund." Her tone was flat, harsh, and frustrated, and I don't necessarily blame her! Work is stressful and I understand if it's been a long day. What I don't understand is why the fact that the website is glitchy isn't stated anywhere during your checkout process, or on the website at all really. I get it's a technical error, less human error, however I just think they can be smarter with ensuring their customers have a seamless experience on the website without having to call and ask what happened. Because lets be honest, nobody likes phone calls. I'm not necessarily upset at anyone, more so frustrated with the whole situation. My only wish is that: a) I got a refund immediately so I could re-purchase or get the tickets I originally bought given to me b) Gotten the names of the two workers I spoke to on the phone. One being a what I'm assuming front desk worker, and the other being the manager who was working 12/4/2025 @ 10pm. This was a lengthy review, however I just wanted to ensure people who purchase on the website are aware of the glitchy/crashing thats very common apparently.

Unfortunately, for the final two weeks of this year I've suffered from a sprain ankle and a sinus…read moreinfection. So I've been pretty bedridden. However, the other day I was feeling much better and mustered up the energy to finally see Wicked For Good. I always drive past this theatre when I'm running errands, and it's actually the closest theatre to my house. So, I figured it was time to test this place out. I came without purchasing a ticket in advance. First thing I like about this theatre is you can purchase your ticket on the kiosk. You select your movie, then you select what type of seat you want- a standard recliner or a cuddlier seat. It was just me so I selected the recliner which was $7.95. I do like the idea of the cuddlier sofa though, that's super cute for couples. However, when I tried to pick where I wanted to sit only one seat was available to book. Which was very surprising to me because the theater wasn't that full and the movie has been out for months now. Thinking it was a glitch of the kiosk, I went to the counter to purchase tickets. Then I saw the screen where I could pick my seat and again there was only one seat I could pick. So I picked that seat thinking the theater wasn't going to be jammed packed (spoiler it wasn't). So, that's the only thing I was confused about. Why were seats block off when the theater wasn't full. Other than this mishap I really enjoyed my experience here. Luckily my seat ended up being a decent seat and it was exceptionally comfortable. There was a red button you could push which I assumed was a seat warmer, I pushed it but I didn't notice any changes in the temperature of my seat. For food I got a medium sprite and a large popcorn. It costs me about $18. Which is typical. I will say next time I'll order a medium popcorn, the large was so big I wasn't able to finish it before the movie was over! All in all this is a very solid theater. Very friendly employees, seats are comfortable and clean, oh and I forgot to mention they have a bar. So that's pretty cool. I can definitely see myself returning here again!

Very nice 5 theater cinema. I would describe it as having an old-timey feel. In a good way…read more Each theater is small. The one we were in had maybe 15 rows. I loved how the theater rows are so slanted downward that your view is never obstructed by the people's heads in the rows in front of you. The reclining seats are a little worn but did not present any problems. Another great thing is that there is alot of leg room. One free refill on popcorn. Ticket and snack prices are reasonable. The movie trailers before the actual movie starts are long. Our 4:45pm show did not actually start until 5:10pm, so don't worry if you are running late. You will probably make it on time before the actual movie starts. Very good movie going experience.

Years that same director abused me again following a request he remove a photo of me having a costume malfunction in another production (see screenshots.) As this event was very public, as a courtesy I made them aware. They essentially dismissed it as not their problem, ands said they'd review "Not in our house" guidelines for anything new. For me, it's very much in their house. At the end of the day, they continue to use and enable a documented abuser of women. As a result, I'll never return or act here again.

The fire department came and put it out. But, then the HVAC system started to pull smoke into the auditorium. Everyone reeked of a fire smell. Just a terrible experience.

This is definitely the more costly art fair in town, but you will find all kinds of interesting paintings, sculptures, jewelry, fiber art, and more to browse. Saw a few unique things, like moving sculptures from found metal objects, and the really cool "Boxed Music" wooden drums (see video)! I've been some years when it has been beastly hot, and it's on the street so it's pretty punishing; this year wasn't too bad but still pretty toasty. Not a lot for small kids to do, though there were a few kid-oriented activity booths I saw. Dick Blick Art Supplies and the Naperville Art League were also present. Overall, always worth a look for something new, but bring the big bucks.
