I’ve been to SPACE for concerts and for the Moth. It is an intimate place to really experience performance art of all kinds. Highly recommend it.

Designed by renowned architect Stanley Tigerman, the Illinois Holocaust Museum & Education Center is one of Chicagoland's premier attractions. The Museum uses lessons from the Holocaust to focus attention on contemporary issues of genocide, intolerance, and inhumanity at home and worldwide.

Other than DC, this is the most powerful and comprehensive museum I have seen on the Holocaust outside of visiting the camps themselves. An easy 20-minute drive from Chicago, this should not be near the top of any itinerary, this should be the top site. Excellent job to the curator and staff - very moving.

This place is Evanston's hidden gem. If you like flowers and roses, this place is special. It is a beautiful, peaceful garden. It is well tended and a pleasure to walk through. It has many rose varieties and lots of colors. I like the multicolored roses the best. It is free and open. You can walk through at any time. There is also a beautiful fountain, which unfortunately is not running this year due to Covid, although I am not sure why.

The Halim Time & Glass Museum is a world class collection of historic timepieces, stained glass windows, and other decorative arts. Permanent exhibits include the American Stained Glass Masters, The Louis Comfort Tiffany Gallery and Clocks of the World. Our Museum Café Gallery hosts rotating exhibits as will our 3rd floor Special Exhibits Hall when it opens.

Wow! For being a relatively small museum of 2 floors, they really make great use of the space to show off Mr. Halim's collection of masterpieces. The first floor features beautiful stained glass windows, many of them rescued from churches. The second floor features an array of time pieces from both the US and abroad. I especially liked the small video screens scattered throughout the second floor displays that provided visitors with the ability to see the moving parts of the clocks. The creativity and craftsmanship on display throughout the museum is awesome. Staff members were very welcoming and were happy to answer the questions that I had. Parking is at a premium in the neighborhood. After several laps around the block, I was happy to finally discover the free parking provided by the museum. It is down the alley which is located almost directly across from the museum's main entrance.

An oasis of quiet for prayer and meditation in the temple; friendly volunteer guides, displays, brief videos and a non-pressure bookstore in the Welcome Center.
