there are some attractions you can take a look inside the campus, but there is no clear indication where the Charles Deering library building is, yet the Alice Millar Chapel and the Levere memorial temple are quite beautiful.

Baha'i House of Worship

A special mix of quartz and white cement was developed for the intricate ornamentation on the nine-sided, domed structure.

Reviewed By aestheticangel - Winnetka, Illinois

This beautiful structure with its newly renovated gardens is an absolute gem. The view looking upward from the sanctuary is particularly spectacular, but be prepared to accommodate those who are there for worship. Hospitable members of the faith will welcome you and provide tours, including a film on temple construction in India, In a departure from practice that travelers to other houses of worship may be accustomed to,donations from non-Baha'i are declined. If a daytime visit won't work for you, even driving by at night is something worth doing.

King Spa & Sauna

Reviewed By EnjoyMyReviews

The energy here is awful. The spa is located in a low level strip mall. $35 admission fee does not include any services. The facility is cheesy. Guests must wear their uniforms. Everyone is walking around the main areas without shoes. It’s disgusting. Guests are required to be naked in the locker rooms to use the jacuzzi and hot tub. I have no issue being naked in a locker room, but sitting in water with other naked strangers is disgusting.

There are different relaxation rooms. I tried all of them except the ones that had an extra charge. The rooms are small, uninviting and unimpressive. There isn’t much to differentiate between the different rooms other than the underlying theme (salt, coal etc). I think the whole concept is ridiculous and a farce.

The main common area has many chairs. Guests are sitting around in uniform reading, on their phones or laptops. Why would they allow phones etc in a common relaxation area in a spa?

Staff was generally unfriendly and curt. Whether it’s a communication problem or something else the staff needs to go through customer service training.

Food was average, but generally fairly priced.

I’ve been to spas throughout the U.S. and without a doubt this is the least impressive place I’ve been. Zero stars. Won’t go back.

Illinois Holocaust Museum & Education Center

Designed by renowned architect Stanley Tigerman, the Illinois Holocaust Museum & Education Center is one of Chicagoland's premier attractions. The Museum uses lessons from the Holocaust to focus attention on contemporary issues of genocide, intolerance, and inhumanity at home and worldwide.

This collection of permanent and temporary exhibitions is not something you can -- or should -- allocate a couple of hours to, and do it any justice. Probably half a day, or four hours at the very least.

We had about three hours and what we really should have done was move quickly through the whole facility and get an overview, then go back and spend more time reading, watching the videos that are dotted around the displays, and inspecting the exhibits more closely.

As a result we really didn't get a chance to see the last exhibits much at all, as we had run out of time. But the material is compelling, the stories are well told and the events are explained in a way that means you really want to take your time. We have visited a number of Holocaust museums around the world and this one certainly is one of the most memorable.

We were advised by staff to make sure that we were in the auditorium area in time for the late afternoon Hologram feature, which is a new initiative. Take A Stand is a hologram program of holocaust survivors who share their experiences and stories and then "answer questions" from the audience. A moderator feeds the questions back and the questions are matched to the extensive recordings made, so the idea is that you feel like you are speaking directly with the presenter.

The concept is impressive, and the stories are, of course, dramatic and memorable, however the technology still needs work....various attempts at questions didn't work and several different questions triggered the same, repetitive response. In addition, the session didn't seem to have a cut-off time, or our moderator didn't handle the schedule properly. Once the doors closed, we were not able to leave until the whole question time was over. We were then rushed out, missing a craft market we would very much like to have visited, and having no time at all in the shop which also looked very interesting.

Given the lateness, and the fact we had skipped the final displays to attend the presentation, the 50 minutes we spent could have been productively divided into 20 or 25 minutes of the presentation and then an opportunity to finish seeing the main displays and the shop.

Great Room Escape Chicago

Great Room Escape is a fully interactive and immersive experience unlike anything else you can do in Tempe, Arizona. Up to 12 participants will be locked in a room, and they must use their minds and teamwork to figure out their escape. Clues and riddles hidden throughout the room provide the tools necessary to win the game and get out of the room. As the clock ticks down and the pressure mounts, can you stay calm, can you escape?

The manager, Brian, kindly invited us to return to try the Houdini room after a couple of mishaps during our first visit for Terminal. This room was really different from any others we’ve done and very impressive. We weren’t sure how we’d feel about having an actor in the room with us, but it was fun and also nice to know there is someone who is fully engaged with what you’re doing and how you’re progressing. We ended up finishing with around 10 minutes left. Both rooms we’ve done here include very unique puzzle elements and great scenic design. Some members of my group are not interested in the zombie theme, but if they open up a fourth room we will definitely return.

Novelty Golf & Games / Bunny Hutch

Reviewed By jahhp - Chicago, Illinois

I have been coming here for years and was surprised to see that it wasn't listed on Trip Advisor (which I have now rectified!).

It's a lot of KITSCHY fun. Many of the holes have metal pedals that you have to stand on in order to activate the mechanism for the "traps" that they have. FUN! Some holes have water traps, some holes are infuriating (but in a good way) and the courses seem to be better maintained than they were in past years. Truth be told, when the mechanisms aren't working at their best, it can be just as fun (if not more)!

There are TWO 18-hole courses; each one unique and so much fun to do both.

They have a vending machine or 2, a bathroom, some batting cages, a small video arcade and next door is a snack bar (The Bunny Hutch).

Plenty of parking, reasonable prices and a couple of hours of fun await you!

We were traveling south on 43 and this was a quick side stop. You can't go in or up because it needs repairs but if your traveling by it, it's a neat 5 minute stop.

Wonderful jazz night out for one of our favorites. Mostly sold out except for standing room only. The wait service was for drinks no food served. You can bring food in and some did but not at our table. Tables are shared unless you have 5 or more in your group. Good sound system and lighting.

Shore Galleries

Reviewed By Raphael L - Chicago, Illinois

I was invited to a special information class and a tour of the facilities. In the process I was also exposed to three great trainers, who all are excellent. The visit was so good I went back on the weekend to shoot and will now go more often. Nick the owner is friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable. Knowing that CPD officers stop in should make one feel even better, plus you can also enjoy a cigar there. Stop in and you too will become a fan. Ask for training with CZ pistol PETE or Daniel from Davad., or the NAVY trainer. YOU will be impressed and walk away with better knowledge and skills; both important in the use of a weapon, for either sport or personal/home defense.

Stopped by for ice cream following mini gold. The portions were huge, great tasting, and reasonably priced. Great for snack while golfing. Otherwise, I'd not go out of my way to visit.
