4.5 Medieval Times (1.003 reviews)
- Family dinner
Dinner Theaters

Really great time! Food was good, staff was friendly, show was great. Lasted about 2 hours. My 8 year old loved it, my 3 month old slept surprisingly , definitely difficult to have a baby that young there as strollers have to stay away from where you sit. Wouldn’t really recommend buying the “knighting” it’s $27 for basically a picture kneeling with the Queen lol.. overall fun! See more..

4.5 Spring Valley (120 reviews)
- Bison Bluff Nature Park a "Must-See"!
Saturday: 9:00 AM - 5:00 PM Nature & Wildlife Areas

The Spring Valley Nature Center recently opened a brand new park celebrating the Bison. What an amazing experience! The park has streams, waterfall that guests are encouraged to wade in and experience. There are several rock climbing features, slides, climbing nets ... An unbelievable experience for kids I would guess between the ages of 4 and 12, although I enjoyed hopping from rock to rock in one of the streams. There are also areas where you can grab a patch of grass so be sure to plan a picnic. I would also recommend bringing a second set of clothes because no kid can resist the water features. Also water shoes or sandals that can get wet would be a great accessory. And if you still have energy after the park, enjoy the walking trails. Kudos to Schaumburg for building a unique playing experience! See more..
4.5 Schaumburg Boomers Stadium (100 reviews)
- Fun for families
Saturday: Arenas & Stadiums

Going to a Boomers game is fun for all ages. They have food, drinks, and merchandise available. Each seat has a cup holder in front of it. They also have seats in the lawn area which is perfect for kids who can’t sit through a whole baseball game and want to run around. Throughout the game they have different activities and contests to keep the whole family entertained. There’s a decent selection of food and drink. We went to get a slice of pizza in the 6th inning and they were out, so if there is a food you really want I recommend getting it as soon as you can so they don’t sell out. I would also recommend sitting along 3rd base because the sun could be in your eyes depending on what time of day you go at the first base line. You can buy tickets online and they always have fun theme nights, sometimes with giveaways for the first however many people or fireworks. See more..

Always a somewhat mysterious medical practice, the museum covers the people, discovery and devices that made anesthesiology the field that makes possible daily miracles of surgical care.

4.5 The Cigar Lounge (5 reviews)
- Awesome place - great selection of stogies and great enviornment
Saturday: 10:00 AM - 10:00 PM Bars & Clubs • Cigar Bars
Stopped in after dinner to hang and smoke; you see a nice sized walk in humidor upon walking in. They had a real nice selection including a bunch of nice cigars I never heard of before - also all reasonably priced. Grabbed an ORA VIVO and strolled over to the TV room. Sat in one of the comfy leather chairs and smoked for over an hour while watching TV - perfect evening. Guy working the counter was very friendly and inviting & the atmosphere was perfect - only thing missing was a bar! Might go back again before I leave town. See more..

4.0 Chicago Improv (121 reviews)
- New Years Eve Dinner
Comedy Clubs • Theatre & Performances

The first time we went to this Improv at Woodfield Mall. It was a NYE special dinner & comedy. As expected, it was crowded. Drinks were served quickly. But then it was hit and miss with the food delivery. Some rows were already done and eating dessert, while we were still waiting for our salads. Food quality was ok, you don't expect a 5star restaurant. At some point the non-dinner crowd comes in and joins you at your table. Weird. Comedian Rocky Laporte was funny, the 2 openers were good.

4.0 Chicago Athenaeum International Sculpture Park (42 reviews)
- Finding this place is another reason why I love Trip Advisor
Art Museums

We were driving from Schaumburg to the Naperville Art Fair and had an hour or so on a Sunday morning. We found this place on Trip Advisor and thank you thank you thank you to the reviewer for giving us a best address to put into our phone Prairie Center for the Arts, which is located at 201 Schaumburg Court, Schaumburg, IL 60193 There were a few people walking around, dad with kids, photographers, a great blue heron and a family of swans, mom, dad and baby. I was touched by this calm beautiful meditative place, if I lived here I'd go every day. A great place to spend an hour, walk around, and take some photos. See more..

4.0 The Water Works (5 reviews)
- Nice pool with a few slides
Water Parks
I have been here a few times for private parties. Most recently this weekend. The lifeguards do a nice job. The slides are a little short. The red one is decent. The blue one is a straight drop and I always get water in my nose. My kids are 4 & 6 so they love it. It is geared more towards younger kids. My biggest complaint is they over chlorinate the water and my skin was so itchy after. See more..
