    Beautiful theater, great seating, sightlines, sound, everything truly great! One unexpected bonus is there's a wonderful view from the 2nd story men's room urinal, you don't get those everywhere. Another huge plus is a concession stand with fresh popcorn.
    I love this place!

    The stadium is old with bench seating. The parking around the area is $25 but it does feature a free shuttle with a nice driver. The concessions include numerous food trucks as you walk in. The atmosphere is cool (great band) the fans are cool. All in all if you go to a game, you should have no complaints.

    This museum is a treasure! Wonderful collections beautifully displayed and the obvious commitment to expanding them with a broader, more inclusive, group of artists is welcome. The staff was delightful and went out of their way to ensure we did not miss a special exhibit. The temporary exhibits each told a powerful story we found moving. It was a cool, calm oasis in the midst of a hot, humid, chaotic "return to campus" visit. We went back for a second day to delight in the things we had missed on the first. Don't miss the moving sculpture, "The Blind" in the entry foyer!

    Has many items for your review and coffee and snacks too. It is also a nice place to meet someone for discussion.

    This is my first pick theater choice. However their staff was very very limited. It’s a lot for one person to do it all and time consuming. So don’t go late or you’ll be late to the movie. Food is good. We got the popcorn as it was the quickest. I really like their seats in the theater. Close to lots of restaurants too. Convenient off the interstate.

    AMAZING! Larry Kanfer’s skill and body of work has been compared to Ansel Adams’ with good reason. His photographs take the ordinary and show us the extraordinary beauty of nature. His ability to show the beauty in the everyday scenery with his prairiescapes is a gift in particular to Midwesterners. Beyond the prairiescapes, University of Illinois and Chicago photographs, a visit to the gallery is a chance to see Kanfer’s international work which is equally stunning. The artist himself, because his work is true artistry, is gracious with his time and very welcoming.

    This park is a very fun, safe place for children. Several apparatus are for little children but many of climbing features and 2 of the slides are definitely better for the older children who don’t require much supervision. Also, it is on a busy street and safer to drive there than to walk, though there is plenty of parking. There is also lots of green space and a large covered pavilion for picnics, as well as what appears to be a restroom building, though I didn’t go inside.

    Visited this place while my son was changing apartments at UIUC. Wanted to see something off the beaten track and this was just a mile or two north of the Interstate interchange. This location is just a tasting room, but the two of us stopped in for a tasting. It was a pretty good deal--each of us got five or six pours and they were enough that we could share. Together, we ended up with 12 tastings. Only regret is that the one popular selection was out. Left with gift glasses and a couple of bottles of wine.

    Weekday afternoon was fairly quiet, but there seemed to be a couple of regulars. Much more laid back than the next day's Taste of Champaign. The woman running the room was very friendly and fun to talk to. Certainly enjoyed talking to her.
