You really get so much for your money, which is hard to find these days! There is so much open space for kids to run, play, and explore, and it makes for such a fun, relaxed day without feeling crowded or rushed. The whole farm has such a charming, nostalgic feel that makes it a really special experience for both kids and adults. The bathrooms were okay and could definitely use a little updating, but that was a small downside compared to everything else. Overall, we had such a great time and would absolutely recommend Blackberry Farm for a fun and affordable family day out!

ONCE UPON A TIME.......IN LOMBARD…read more This beloved indoor entertainment center is still hanging in there after 40+ years. I'll admit, I didn't have "attend a work outing at Enchanted Castle" on my 2025 bingo card, yet here we are. I found myself reminiscing about birthdays from the past, how many tokens I spent here as a preteen, and what on earth I was doing at a kids entertainment center with a group of engineers. As they've been since 1983, Enchanted Castle on Roosevelt Rd in Lombard is a one-stop shop for fun.  They have party rooms, a large arcade with ticket counter and 7-8 different attractions.  It's like a bigger version of Chuck E Cheese with a medieval theme, a Dave & Busters aimed at kiddos. You can pay for things a la carte, or get a $40 "max pack" that gets you a $15 game card and access to any 3 attractions.  Our large group hit up the arcade, mini golf, laser tag, and go karts.  One staffer helped us out during our time here, and kudos to her for being patient when we couldn't make up our minds on what to do next. I'll start with the best: the go karts ($9/pp).  Although the track itself is small and not terribly exciting, these go karts were peppy and handled well.  You get a decent number of laps, too, and it must be popular enough to warrant having its own dedicated entrance off to the right - Castle Karts. Next came laser tag ($9/pp).  The packs seemed heavy, but the guns were very accurate IMO.  It was a 'capture the flag' objective and despite a small arena, there was just enough space to move around.  They also have Route 66 mini bowling ($5/pp), bumper cars ($5/pp), a scaled down 'Scrambler' type ride ($5/pp), and a playground area with slides ($5/kid). The glow in the dark Black Knight's "Adventure" Golf ($7/pp) was the weak link of the bunch.  9 holes of poorly lit, uninspired putt putt with odd scenery choices - they couldn't decide between skeletons or squires - and lazy hole design led to several in our group bailing partway through.  One girl even twisted her ankle walking around an obstacle!  This is an area that could definitely benefit from a facelift or new attraction. Back in the 90's and early 2000's, Enchanted Castle had a 3D motion theater that played several iWerks films like Dino Island, Alpha One Cowboy, and Red Rock Run.  This wild motion simulator was always the highlight of my visit, but I can't find ANY record of it in web archives..... was this a fever dream?? Their arcade has a mix of new and old, lots of ticket redemption games with flashy shoot-em-ups sprinkled in.  They had Beat Saber VR (for a whopping 24 credits) as well as some vintage games like the one where you use an air cannon to shoot out the clown's teeth.  Many years ago, they had a dedicated area for pinball machines....now they have none.  *sigh* I expected very little from the food and was pleasantly surprised.  The italian beef ($12) was pretty good, no complaints about the fries.  The large appetizer platter ($40) had a little bit of everything: 7 mozza stix, 7 wings, 7 tenders, 12 mini tacos, and 8 pretzel sticks with dipping sauces.  They also had beer on tap @ $6.50 per pint, not too bad. * TL;DR * Enchanted Castle is supposed to be for young'ins, but if you have fun here as a grown-up I won't tell anyone. Being in business for 43 years is no small feat, especially when you consider the sweeping effect COVID had on the realm of indoor entertainment.  I'm amazed (and relieved) that Enchanted Castle's drawbridge has stayed open despite so much volatility in the world.  I don't imagine that the handful of folks we saw on a Thursday afternoon is representative of how much foot traffic EC actually gets. Here's to hoping they have many more years ahead of them, making joyful memories for scores of kids in the western Chicago suburbs.  I'd hate to see an indelible part of my childhood be gone for good. "The handsome prince raced his mighty steed around the go kart track, while the beautiful princess enjoyed several games of Skee-Ball.  And they played happily ever after!"

The worst part is there is no order to redeeming your tickets for prizes. No line, no nothing. It's just chaos, and the employees randomly pick and choose which kid to help next. Sure, they get to power trip, but would it hurt to have 1 or more lines to establish some order to the chaos? Never returning on my watch = unhappily ever after. The end.

Now, they have bumper cars, batting cage, mini golf, the bungie jumping thing, and mini-golf. Brought my daughter here the other day for a day of mom and me time. We rode the bumper cars, played a round of golf and let her do the bungie jumping. She had a blast and we only spent around $30 for the both of us. They offer bundles for the activities if you plan on doing more than one. It's a better deal. Saves you a few dollars each person. The bumper cars were a little shaky, but whatever we had fun none the less. The staff isn't very interactive, butn you don't really need them to be. The cashier is very nice, not much of a conversationalist, but whatever. We can't all be outgoing. Anyway, all-in-all we had fun. We will def be back

Yesterday , We took…read moreour kiddos to sports zone to do the batting cages, we let our daughter try it out, she does not play ball but she practices with her brother and dad all the time and dad pitches to her she does just fine, we let her go into the slow pitch batting cage and the owner ran over and yelled at us and was extremely rude, we took it as he was just concerned and we didn't read the rules she's 5 and you have to be 6. We apologized and took her out no problem. He still stays there and keeps egging it on, he starts point at the rules all aggressive, we still again agreed we didn't read them and apologized. HE THEN states "I don't know if you need to read them in Spanish" like WHAT THE FUCK!!? So because of the color of our skin you make that comment yet we have been speaking to you fluently in English, my husband and I have no accents and we barely ever speak Spanish.

This isn't a regular playground -- it's basically an indoor slide park with huge fast slides, obstacle courses and open space for kids to run energy OUT (parents too if you're brave lol). The place was really clean, staff actually paid attention and kept things moving, and I liked that they separate areas by size/ability so little kids aren't getting ran over. My kids were sweating within 10 minutes which is exactly what I wanted Good option for cold days, rainy days, or when you just need them tired before bedtime. Seating for parents, easy check-in, and overall organized. Definitely one of the better kid activity spots around Aurora -- we'll be back.
