1. Illinois Holocaust Museum & Education Center
Overall Ratings
5.0 based on 257 reviews
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.

Other than DC, this is the most powerful and comprehensive museum I have seen on the Holocaust outside of visiting the camps themselves. An easy 20-minute drive from Chicago, this should not be near the top of any itinerary, this should be the top site. Excellent job to the curator and staff - very moving.

I visited with a friend while going to the Mall for lunch, we are both tea enthusiasts and I unfortunately live in Puerto Rico and don't have stores like these home. The store is bright, excellently stocked and organized. We were warmly greeted by Laura and Peggy. They alternatively explained the layout or would join us at the display highlighting different teas. Found the prices to be quite reasonable. Would definitely return.

great service, products, and prices My favourite feature is the large baking supplies section. You can purchase the exact amount you need of ingredients and decorations -- simple and fancy sprinkles, nonpareils, sanding sugar, chocolate chips, lentls, nuts, dried fruits, etc. Perfect for the kosher home baker and candy maker. free parking in their lot

8. Georgia Nut Company Outlet Store

This George Nut Company Outlet Store is located three blocks north of Touhy Ave. on Linder Ave. There is parking in front. Though they have a lot of candy packaged up, honestly, it seemed a bit more expensive for the amounts. They have a large selection of nuts. They also have old-fashioned candy, think satellite wafers, wax bottle fruit juices, candy buttons and more. We picked out a number of vintage candies for Halloween for my grandkids, to give them an idea what life was like 60 years ago with those candies. The staff was efficient and friendly. I'm sure that there are some good buys, here, you just have to know your prices.
