Meadowbrook Park

Reviewed By ChocolateKisses1 - Toronto, Canada

We were visiting Urbana and were told about this wonderful park. It was a beautiful day for a walk and this was the perfect place to see and experience its beauty. It was during the week and it was not too busy. We were able to relax and enjoy the unusual park artwork and sculptures. There is a paved walking path around the park. Children were playing in the playground. The park is lovely and peaceful.

Timber Lake Playhouse

In 1961, Timber Lake Playhouse was established as a professional, non-profit summer theatre company. The mission of Timber Lake Playhouse is to provide the best expression of theater arts to the regional community by presenting creative works that entertain and inspire.

Sadly, the 2018 resident players' schedule for Timber Lake Playhouse is over, but they may have saved the best for last. Weekends on September 7-16, Mount Carroll audiences will be treated to a New York production of Beehive:The 60's Musical. I can't wait! The scope and quality of this professional summer theatre in the corn fields continues to grow and dazzle.

BumbleBee Play Cafe

Reviewed By Allen21096 - Chicago, United States

We thought that we would see what the BumbleBee Play Cafe was all about one weekday, so while we were with my 3 year old granddaughter, we went there. The BumbleBee Play Cafe is a large building in a large shopping center mall. I'm not sure what type of business had been in the building before. There is plenty of parking available in the lot. When you walk in, you'll notice a cafe that is separated from the play area and another cafe that is actually between the two play rooms. One of the playrooms is designed for toddlers and the other is designed for slightly older kids. The staff is very efficient, helpful, informative & helpful.. They are very safety conscious and they do everything for the safety of the kids, including wristbands on the adults. There are also six separate party rooms, should you want to do a party there. Besides the typical tube crawls and slides, there is a grocery store play house, a fire station play house, a kitchen playset, a restaurant play station and a variety of ride-ons. They don't allow you to bring in food or beverages for regular play, though I'm not sure about how it works for parties. There is plenty of snack or light foods for both kids and adults. The pricing is really good and parents & grandparents are free. There are the usual waivers to sign. This is a great, comfortable and safe environment if you are looking for a place for kids to play on a day when the weather is too hot, rainy or cold.
