1. Arlington Park
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 447 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 seems like there aren’t many tracks left in the country. This is one of the classics. Totally destroyed and rebuilt, and now their racing season is a festive highlight of summer capped off by the Arlington Million. It has excellent banquet facilities, a beautiful clubhouse and great food.

Went with a bus group of theatre students to see Newsies at the Marriott Lincolnshire. The production was fast-paced and exciting to watch. The actors are so close and constantly moving around so everyone in the theatre could see them. The singing and dancing were very well done. Scene changes were quick as actors moved set pieces up and down the aisle. Looking forward to attending another production here, as it’s easy to get to and parking is free.

Step back in time and relive your youth at this delightful candy store! The owner is very nice and I come here every year for stocking stuffers. I love all the different pez, necco's, bazooka bubble gum, etc. at this place. Also, try the chocolate covered potato chips. Sweet and Savory! Yum!!!

Watch excellent movies in comfortable seats, among your friends and neighbors (who understand movie etiquette) ... on the cheap! Add Baloney's wonderful sandwiches next door and you have a very special experience. Simply the BEST.

Who knew?
A craft distillery tucked away in suburbia, the Copper Fiddle Distillery is well worth taking the time to discover. Even for a nonwhiskey drinking person like myself, I appreciate the level of devotion and craft that is evident here in the creation of a superb, high-quality product. From the American oak barrels to the craft cocktails at the bar, a quick look around Copper Fiddle Distillery will reveal a hidden gem in the middle of the suburbs.

According to A. Alfred Taubman -- philanthropist and suburban shopping mall designer -- parking belongs in front of stores, with easy access to the entrances.
I don't know what he'd make of Deer Park.
If you want to see the entire mall,which has a linear design, you will have to backtrack, rather than circle.
However, if you're coming to visit a particular store -- there are over 70 -- chances are you'll be able to park very close to it. My favourite stops are Paper Source, Anthropologie, and Williams-Sonoma.
Beverage and food places are pretty much clustered in one location.
The Century sixteen-screen theater is behind the mall.
Deer Park has a California vibe -- both in architectural style and in fresh air/exercise benefits.

Forget laser tag - a wide variety of combat scenarios. A wide variety of weapons. A professionally run, incredibly fun way to spend 2 hours.
Looking forward to having a couple parties here this summer.
Nothing like it, anywhere - you have got to try this!

First time there and was amazed at how great the massage was for the low price. You remain fully clothed and it's one big room with lots of tables. Ladies, wear a tank top because they can massage your shoulders better that way. I will definitely become a regular.
