Top 10 Things to do in Northwest Side, Illinois (IL)
The windy city is a cornucopia of modern art, fine dining, cutting edge comedy, and die-hard sports fans. Snap a photo of your reflection in the silver Cloud Gate sculpture at Millennium Park before heading to Grant Park to get hit with the refreshing spray of Buckingham Fountain. There are dozens of museums and theater companies in Chicago, so a cultural experience is never hard to find. You’re sure to laugh your head off at the Second City Theater, the professional launch pad of many famous comedians.

The Filament Theatre is a jewel in the Six Corners crown (actually a jewel within the whole NW side of the city). They offer immersive, thoughtful, frequently interactive theater for young audiences.

They also offer parent resources, out-reach, education, summer camp and specially modified performances for those with sensory issues. Can't think of a better place to take your family.

My friends and I had a great time with our 1st time throwing axes! We were introduced to the form, given plenty of practice, and had lots of fun competing against each other. It was surprisingly easy to get the hang of! Our coach was La Trell, and I highly recommend you request him. He was great!
