My friends, fiance, and I (4 people total) tried out Break Escape because we live in the neighborhood and wanted to try a different escape company than what is currently out there. Break Escape really did satisfy my Escape Room fix. The two gentlemen (can't remember their names atm) there were helpful and the one that was assigned to our room was very helpful. We managed to escape from "My Crazy Ex." The three clues we received were very helpful and culminated to a great escape experience. There is one more room for us to complete and heard that a third room is in the works. The room was reasonably priced and 4-6 people I feel would be optimal. If any more the room may seem a little tight.
3. Arlington Park
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 503 reviews
Described as "the most beautiful track in America", Arlington began Thoroughbred racing on October 13, 1927, when more than 20,000 fans braved the cold weather to celebrate the event in high style. Since then, Arlington International has become a social destination and perfect summer hangout to watch and wager on the amazing sport of Thoroughbred horse racing! Arlington offers beautiful venues for everything from corporate outings to reunions to weddings, and it's the ideal spot for groups of friends to catch-up, watch the ponies and meet new people. From Miller Lite Party in the Park on Friday, to Miller Lite Horses & Hops on Saturdays, to Sunday Family Days presented by Daily Herald and Lipton Iced Tea, it's always a great time!

It was our daughter's 30th BIRTHDAY,we decided to take her for her first time to the horse races.None of us bet much,but it is always fun to pick a horse you may think will win.I choose to look at the horse and jockey before I place my bet.But my daughter pretty much decided to bet by the horses name.The men went by name and of course the odds.We stayed for seven races,while having some great snacks,and a couple of alcoholic drinks. It was a beautiful.day out,which made the day also enjoyable.Arlington race track is clean,and in some parts very pretty.It is fun to watch the horses come on the track,and to see the horses that won go into the winners circle. A Fun day ! Just watch how much you decide to bet,it is easy to get carried away.

The walking path around Lake Arlington is perfect for a stroll by yourself or with your family. It is a smooth paved surface that allows for skaters, bicycles, strollers, wheelchairs, etc. It gets a little crowded on days with perfect weather, but then it is a perfect place for a walk.

We had an awesome time with friends. The racetrack has beautifully maintained grounds. We enjoyed going down to the Paddocks to get a first look at the horses. We would then place a bet and then go down to the rail to watch the race. We love being close to the track when the horses run past the finish line. It’s so exciting when the horse you choose Wins!!!! After the race, we love watching the jockey in the Winner circle and then watching him give goggles to a very excited spectator. We enjoyed having lunch upstairs overlooking the Paddock. Thanks Arlington Racetrack for the wonderful memories of watching such beautiful and fast horses. Amazing experience.

Royce' is located on the south edge of the food court in the Mitsuwa Marketplace. The Mitsuwa Marketplace is on the northeast corner of Arlington Heights Rd. & Algonquin Rd. and there is plenty of parking. Royce' is noted for its high-end luxury chocolate. Luxury is a good word, since the chocolate is absolutely decadent. The staff is slightly more formal, but they are very friendly and helpful. The prices are a bit higher. If you are lucky, like we were, you can try some samples of chocolate, you'll buy and you'll return.
10. Paragon Arlington Heights
Overall Ratings
4.0 based on 75 reviews
Reviewed By ginat899
The theater was updated when Paragon took over, but honestly it was not really needed. Paragon put their stamp on this nice downtown movie theater. Special pricing during the week on first run movies. No more complaining about annoying patrons kicking our seats. I actually now get a chance to see a movie with my hubby, without him complaining. We usually take advantage of selecting from a series of delicious restaurants just a short walking distance away from this fabulous downtown movie theater. Plenty of parking below in the underground parking garage. Never has it been easier to take advantage of "dinner and a movie." Save your appetite for some butter popcorn with various powder toppings and a tall cup of soda with a large selection of flavors to try.
