But what's there is very well-presented, and gives a nice overview of the history of the county. One room is dedicated to how WWII affected Champaign County, especially at the (now-defunct) Chanute Air Base in Rantoul. That was very interesting. The people that work/volunteer there are friendly and clearly knowledgeable. You could see it for free, but it's more than worth the $3 suggested donation.

The food was delicious. The price for the whole event was fair. The actors, train workers, and our server were all AMAZING! The only thing I felt needing improvement was the decor. Very plain. Absolutely nothing in our cart was attractive or appealing. Lastly, there are NO bathrooms available on the train for the guests. You're on there for almost 2 1/2 hours and must wait to depart to get to a bathroom. Other than that it IS worth the time and money.

For not being open there was only one spot in the small lot left which was weird, what's it like when they are open. The property is pretty nice with lots of green spaces with picnic tables to make a day of it. There is static displays with various railroad equipment from cranes, passenger cars, cabooses, locomotives etc. There is a ticket passenger station and a tower over looking the rails with a huge shed that has cars that you can go in when they are open. Even though they are only open on weekends for train rides you can go during the week with the kids and have a picnic and walk around looking at the equipment so if your driving by it is a nice attraction for the kids.

We saw Dungeons and dragons, highly recommend even if you don't know anything about the game! Lines were a bit confusing, ticket line and concessions are the same line. So essentially you buy your tickets and popcorn at the same time. Less card swiping, but lingers wait times! The popcorn station is pretty cool! The guy behind the counter was very nice and funny, he even helped me out and only filled my popcorn half way so I could put some extra butter on it, then filled the rest!! A true gem! I was surprised to see how much security there was, we're from Chicago and don't even have that many!! The main theater is HUGE!! Very impressive! Bathrooms were clean and stocked. Movie volume was perfect. I hate when you go to the movies and your eardrums are going to burst! The only sad part was the concessions was closed by the time we got out of the movie!! I get it, workers wanted to go home but my partners niece really wanted to take some popcorn home!

Okay, my old review was when it was still Carmike. Eight years later and it's now AMC, but still…read morethe best in town. The theaters are cleaner and seats are generally in much better condition here than across town. Popcorn is heaps better here too, plus more food options. The ticket + concessions line here can be really annoying at peak times though, and that's the one thing I don't like about this location. AMC needs to get some self-serve kiosks for tickets here to speed that up.

They also served free lemonade and popcorn. The new Lincoln exhibit is really good too. Of course it's not on the same scale as the one in Springfield but for a little museum it is interesting. It has a lot of local history about Lincoln in Champaign coiunty,. My dauighter loves the discovery room and the gift shop has some good items in it. Check the time before you go because it opens at 1:00.

We've lived here for just over a year, but my husband and I had never visited the KAM…read more We stopped by here on a Saturday afternoon. It was a nice, quiet visit. Museum was well staffed with security. Superbly clean. It took us a little over an hour to walk through the various rooms. Several of the rooms were empty, awaiting new exhibits. I'd probably come back again when the academic year is in full swing. My favorite part of this visit was the Blue and White Ceramics exhibit they have on display. There are many great pieces of art to see, though. Ellnora Krannert was extremely generous and numerous pieces in the museum are thanks to her. I wouldn't recommend this museum to children under 13-14, unless the kids/tweens/teens are really into art, art history, etc. I just think the little ones would be bored. You can visit KAM's online calendar to see if they ever offer children's programming. (Head to the Spurlock Museum if you're on campus with little ones instead.) Highly recommend KAM to anyone else. We're very fortunate to have an art museum of this caliber in our community. Summertime is the perfect opportunity to explore these locations on campus. Checkout my other Champaign-Urbana museum reviews, too!
