Chapel of the Resurrection

Reviewed By Dave_PE54 - Chicago, United States

The University Chapel is not the place to come for private, contemplative prayer (unless you visit the Gloria Christi Chapel below the main altar. It's the amazing stained glass windows of the Trinity which back the high altar which hold your attention and raise your sights upward. The Reddel organ with over 100 ranks of pipes is inspiring both to see and to hear. Worship services and music programs are the best reason to visit.

Paradox Escape Room

Reviewed By MrsPorras1119 - Burnettsville, United States

My husband and I played house in the woods. The game had a great flow, good puzzles, & we enjoyed ourselves. Only used the clue on one puzzle because of our own stupidity. So it's beginner friendly in my opinion. Great place! Will be back to try the other one soon!

I went mainly to see the magnificent outdoor train set and it was awesome. The rest of the place is very nice very pretty and if you have younger children there is a farm area that they would enjoy. Actually my wife and I enjoyed it to we sat and had lunch at the picnic benches near the farm. The gardens are very nice no matter what the season. There is a nice walking trail through the fields. Now back to the trains one of the best train setups I’ve ever seen probably a city block and half long and 1/2 block wide. It takes you around the country and is set up beautifully many different areas are shown including Lincoln’s funeral train and the old west I loved and and will revisit this place often

The 49er is like a trip back in time. you sit in your car and watch the movie starting at dusk. There is an old fashioned concession stand. Get there early for a good spot! bring a blanket if it is chilly and bug spray if it is hot.
