The Paramount is a fabulous theater - beautiful decor, comfortable seats and top notch productions. We recently saw “The Secret of My Success.” The acting, dancing and singing, as well as the set, were all first-rate. We couldn’t have enjoyed it more. Come early and grab a bite to eat (tasty hot dogs, cookies, etc.) and drink. They have a wide selection of alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks, which you can take to your seat.

If you have younger children take them to the Blackberry Farm where they can ride ponies, a carousel, paddle boats & even a fun little train. It is a very inexpensive experience. Walk down a recreated downtown area of old Aurora. Children and adults will enjoy looking into windows to see an old-fashioned drug store, barber shop, general store & many others. There's a food stand & picnic area. When we were there we visited a blacksmith where we watched a nail being made & learned a great deal of what happened in an old style blacksmith shop. The kids really enjoyed the play area where they could even experience a zip line. There's a farm where you can see pigs, chickens, goats, etc. You can go inside a large building where they have many old vehicles on display. Just a good, inexpensive, fun time can be had by kids & adults alike. We even had friends who rented out the entire farm for their wedding reception. I

If you are looking for an old fashion skating rink then this is the place to go. I have brought the grand kids here several times and they had a great time. Yes I can still skate at my age I won't tell you how old lets just say I served in the Navy during Vietnam, so you can do the math. they have skate rental, and a snack is open, it I still do ice skating, but I need a place that has open skating, if someone knows a place please let me know. Just be careful when you go skating, I wore knee pads and arm bands just in case I take a spill. So don't be afraid give it a try I think you will like this skating rink. HAVE FUN AND BE CAREFUL or you can go just to watch the kids skate
