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.

This place rocks I sampled omany of their beers and was quite impressed with all of them. Even though the outside looks like a warehouse the inside is really nice with beer inspired tables and large TVs playing the sports game. We visited on a Saturday afternoon and were able to find a seat easily enough. The menu is awesome highlighting their seasonal beers and their mainstays. I also really liked how they highlighted the brewing process on the menu. Not sure if they serve food or not or if you bring your own in. The only thing I could think that they could improve is to put their history on the menu explaining how they got going. I was really impressed and enjoyed my time there I will definitely be visiting again next time I'm in the area.
3. Independence Grove Forest Preserve

Lots of people love Independence Grove, which is most apparent on the weekends when the parking lot is full and there are no picnic sites available. Park is sometimes overrun with bicycles, trikes and strollers making it hard to walk and get around. If you like busy parks and crowds, this is for you. If you like quiet and more natural areas, other Lake County Forest Preserves are much more enjoyable.

The park system in Lake County is second to none. Between Independence Grove and Old School in Libertyville - you have two amazing places to walk, ride a bike, relax, ice skate —
All seasons - 12 months of the year, there is something you can do at the preserves.
Well maintained. Excellent facilities.
No matter where you are in Lake County, there is a Forest Preserve within 5 to 10 miles of your home.

Built in 1993, this golf course includes two scenic lakes.
Reviewed By wajman - Mundelein
This course can be a challenge on some holes, especially 10. The course is well maintained. The green fees are within the range of this area. The grounds keepers do great job, even early in the season. Weekends are very crowded so a little hooky from work may be in order. Carts are in good shape and I have never had a failure. People are very friendly. I can't comment on the eatery or the bar since I usually have to head back to work. This course is by a Del Webb housing development so start early to miss the crowd.

PROS: beautiful chapel with amazing artwork inside- stained glass windows, relics, the monstrance- everything is exquisite. Plenty of parking; there were stations of the Cross outside but unfortunately it was a blustery, cold rainy day. It gives my family and I more reason to return. Plenty of items in the gift shop.
CONS: none whatsover.
7. Cuneo Museum & Gardens

The beautiful home of John F. Cuneo is surrounded by 75 acres of lakes, fountains and botanical gardens.

Today, we marvel as we stroll the hallways and parlors and gardens of Victorian mansions, marble monuments to the Gilded Age. San Simeon, William Randolph Heart's castle in California, is most noteworthy. Two others that immediately come to mind are George Vanderbilt's Biltmore in Asheville, North Carolina, and Henry Flagler's Whitehall in Palm Beach, Florida. And Marble House in Newport, Rhode Island. Chicagoans can admire a reproduction of Hearst's San Simeon or Charles Foster Kane's fictional "Xanadu" of Citizen Kane fame at the Cuneo Museum and Gardens in north suburban Vernon Hills. Located at 1350 North Milwaukee Avenue, it was built in 1914 for Samuel Insull, an original founder of the General Electric Company. Insull, who once served as Thomas Edison's personal assistant, lost his fortune in the Great Depression and died of a heart attack in 1938 with 84 cents in his pocket. He was identified by a hotel laundry bill in his pocket. In 1937, John Cuneo Sr., the founder of the Cuneo Press and Hawthorn Mellody Dairy, purchased the mansion. It remained the family home until the death of Cuneo's widow in 1990. In 2009, the house was donated to Loyola University of Chicago. The Mediterranean style mansion, noted for its opulent Venetian style architecture, features a 40-foot high great central hall with arcaded balconies, a grand staircase, lavish double formal dining rooms and a private chapel with exquisite stained glass windows and wonderful frescoed ceilings. The mansion's antique furnishings, Renaissance paintings, 17th century tapestries, silver and porcelain collections are the result of the Cuneo family's lifelong collecting. The grounds were designed by renowned landscape architect Jens Jensen and comprise 75 acres of lakes, fountains, formal gardens, antique classical statuary, a private 9-hole golf course and a conservatory housing exotic plants. If that's not enough, the walls of the indoor swimming pool are in travertine marble. This is a must-see for anyone who appreciates art and culture, an absolute feast for the eyes. Charles Foster Kane would have loved this "Marble Museum," which utilized 17 different kinds of marble in its construction.

This waterpark is literally in our backyard so we visit many times during the summer. Mainly families in Mundelein and nearby towns go to this venue and it is fantastic value for money if you are up to 2 hours drive away. The food options are not great and you cannot bring in any food, but the essentials are available and not too pricey. There is even a separate spray park for the very little ones which as far as I can tell hardly ever has a lot of people. The man waterpark as 3 slides, a lovely lazy river, diving pool, climbing wall in the diving pool, separate zero entry pool for toddlers as well as a zero entry pool with splash areas and a section for swimming laps and a water obstacle course for young and older kids. This is a perfect venue for a laid back time with family and it is not huge and with lots of life guards so you can bring the kids here and truly relax and enjoy the water activities.

I love to go to Flea Markets and antique stores - a lot!
I do like this one as I think most of the vendors are friendly and you can usually get the vendors to come down to a realistic price. There is always some junk at this one - but you will find a few things that are well worth your time in going.
