4. 4.5 Arlington International Racecourse (30 reviews)
   - A Fun day at the Track
   Horse Tracks
   
   
   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. See more..

And that's not all. You'll find the store just inside the entrance to Mitsuwa Marketplace, on your left. See more..

   Thursday: 10:00 AM - 7:00 PM Spent < 1 hour Speciality & Gift Shops
   
   
   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. See more..

There is a 15,000 sq. ft. theater which has a 28’x30′ stage, a state of the art sound system, and offers stadium style booth seating The theater has featured local and national bands, DJ’s and entertainers. We happened to be there on an open mic night when they often have local entertainment. The food was good, albeit a bit more expensive. We had some appetizers from the late night menu which included jalapeno poppers and the pretzel sticks. The staff seemed friendly enough, but then it wasn't extremely crowded. See more..
