Restaurants in Montgomery
1. Paramount Theatre

We were entertained recently at the performance of Cabaret and recommend seeing this production! As usual, we are never disappointed with any of the Paramount productions and again, this is a superb performance!
It is arranged for Adults and is not age appropriate for young children! Thank you Paramount for this entertaining show of Cabaret!
One of the only disappointments at the theatre is the line for the women's rest room during the 15 minute intermission. Since a female dominated audience it is hard to get in the restroom, grab a refreshment at the bar, and back in your seat before the second half begins....
Hurrah the new theatre seats are arriving this coming summer 2018! They have served us all well over the 80 plus years!

Whenever there isn't an event (though those are fun), the park is a calm and shady respite on the Fox River. Let the kids run around the park, and enjoy the scenery.

Reviewed By HeatherRaeOchoa - Aurora, Illinois, United States
We visited Blackberry Farms 3 times in July/August. Twice for their summer out door concerts on Thursday evenings and once for their Wine and Canvas.
We had an awesome time for each event.
The concerts are only $5 per person and it is BYOB (or Wine/Liquor) and Picnic/Snacks.
Wine and Canvas is only $19 per person and is also BYOB (or Wine/Liquor) and Picnic/Snacks.
They supply all materials needed. Paint, canvas, instruction and an apron!
It is such a pretty place and welcoming environment a great way to have an affordable date night, couples night out with friends and family, or just with an awesome group of friends/family.
I also saw a lot of people celebrating birthdays and anniversaries.
I will attend most of their concert events next year and would like to make it to at least 2 to 3 Wine and Canvas events a year!

Locked in a room for 1 Hour with no way out, you must uncover clues, decipher riddles, and discover the keys to plot your Escape.

We did the Kidnapped room with 2 seniors, 2 teens and a married couple who were strangers to our group of 6. Everyone could contribute something to the varied puzzles and the divide and conquer approach was ideal. We almost solved it!

Good selection of stores. Nike/Under Armour prices are equivalent to a sale at Macy's. Clearance bargains are there but not a lot of selection. Forever 21 - decent deals. Food court sucks but have Rise Pies now - make your own salad and pizza. This time of year - have Davids tea and Starbucks to keep warm.

The Oswego Public Library (in Oswego and in Montgomery) has a fantastic collection of books and ebooks for all ages. If they don't have it, they can get it. The staff is incredibly helpful and the reading programs are creative and engaging for adults and children. There are study rooms and reading lounges as well.

Mastodian gallery ia another quick tour you can do. Great place to stroll. My pet ❤️ coming here. FYI: Dogs are not allowed in the zoo area though .

The Prairie Point Splash Playground is the District's first splash pad. With 17 spray and play features, this park is sure to be a busy place all summer long, offering a refreshing reprieve on hot days. The Splash Pad is free to use. Be sure to bring your towel!
Reviewed By dpenn1982 - Yorkville, Illinois
This is a great place to take children! First it is free! I repeat FREE! There are a good amount of features in the splash pad and it is fenced in. There are some benches, a shaded area and bathrooms all in the fenced area. There is a playground about 100 yards from the splash pad. It is very clean and well maintained. The only down side is that it is concrete so don't run around like a maniac. We go here a few times a summer and my kid loves it!

Three floors of Science/Tech activities for kids didn't disappoint (ages 5 & 8). We spent most of our time in the Lego and large block sections, but we did explore all the exhibits. We spent about 2 hours there. Definitely would suggest going if you're in the area.
