Just completed the Casino Heist room escape last night. I was looking for a last minute Room Escape…read moreand Art of Escape Room had a 10:00 opening. It's nice because they don't pair you with strangers, so it was just our group. Two of our participants had never participated in a room escape before, one person had done one, and I personal have done fewer than 10. Everyone had a great time, especially those newer to escape rooms. The staff member was very kind and fun. The puzzles themselves were fairly easy and there wasn't really much that I hadn't seen in other room escapes. We utilized the clues a handful of times, twice to move the game along when we got a bit stuck for over 5 minutes and once when a prop wasn't cooperating with being opened after we had solved the code - in that case the staff member eventually slipped duplicates of the next clues under the door, which we were grateful for. We escaped with time remaining, and are looking forward to them opening their next rooms!

We've been to the one by us in King of Prussia, Pennsylvania, but it was exciting to see a new room (Special Ops: Mysterious Market). We loved the design of the rooms as a family of four with an 8 and 11-year-old. Laila and Sydney went out of their way to be incredibly welcoming to us and making sure we had the best time. We were grateful for hints and managed to escape with 8 minutes to spare. Really can't say enough kind things about the staff and room...it was the perfect blend of challenging and exciting for us. Thank you again to Laila and Sydney for being so awesome and turning our day around.

The museum did not disappoint! We spent about an hour and 15 minutes exploring, and every member of our family had an amazing time. Each room was unique, and most of the exhibits were interactive, making it a fun, immersive experience for both kids and adults. This isn't your typical museum--it's an interactive art experience that's engaging, creative, and unlike anything else we've done. We were smiling and laughing the entire time. I would absolutely come back and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a fun activity that's a little different. It's definitely a must-see while you're in Chicago!

I'll try to make this one a quick one. Museums of this type have popped up over the years. Chicago…read moreseems to have a dozen or more of them. I hadn't been to this neighborhood in Chicago so it was cool seeing a different side to Chicago. Look up the building and the parking lot before you go. It was 13-14ish dollars to park in the lot(Sept 2026). The surrounding neighborhood can be tricky with one way/narrow streets but it's not terrible. The museum itself is fun. I'm not sure if it's the best museum(of this type) I've visited but I still had a good time. It was busy but not crazy. People weren't in the way and you're given as much time as you want at each exhibit. The flow of people continues moving but you don't feel rushed. One exhibit in particular(the ball pit), you do have a guided time limit but you still aren't rushed. We were able to enjoy it. The museum touts 18 areas. It's in a huge warehouse I was trying to count but right around the 8th or 9th area, I lost count. It didn't feel like 18 areas. Some of the exhibits are very cool while others are just.. "Ok. Eh. We can move on." The description also says 90 minute experience. You could spend that amount of time there. I think we were there for 60-70 minutes and felt that was an ample amount of time. The price seems okay but not ideal. There are different price points depending on what time of day you go. If you can make it there when it's 29 bucks, do that. The middle of the day(when we were there), it was 47 bucks or a little more if you wanted a flexible entry time. Pushing up at that 50 dollar price point is a bit much. It does control the crowd but it's still iffy. At that price point, I doubt I'd visit again. We had a good time. If you're looking for something a bit different, give it a chance.

It pulls you into the world of F1 racing the moment you walk in. Race-used memorabilia is on display all over the restaurant from the likes of Lewis Hamilton, Max Verstappen, and Lando Norris, and it's a thrill to see it up close. We happened to visit during US Grand Prix qualifying, so the place was packed with like-minded fans and the atmosphere was electric. A couple of small letdowns keep this from five stars. I expected the race commentary to be louder, since it was hard to follow over the crowd. The drinks were also a bit underwhelming, but let's be honest, that's not why you come here. I didn't get a chance to try the simulators, but they looked like a blast. I'd love to come back with a group and spend real time in the arcade. Highly recommended for any F1 fan!

That's Kevin Dorff (writer for Conan), TJ Jagodowski (umm legend for more than Sonic commercials), and Susan Messing (the spitfire that spits the hottest fire (and who I had the good fortune of studying under at the Annoyance)). The show was phenomenal. $20 for 45 minutes of pure, smart, incredible comedy. With the comedy 20 feet away! I saw in the back at a high top with a cider and a mocktail. Drink service comes through halfway through the show or you can order before obviously. A few snacks are available. This is such a cool venue that more people should be talking about.

Also, don't forget to add a donation! We got to the theater about 25 minutes before show time, they have a big lobby area with seating as you wait. There's also a small bar, with assorted mixed drinks, beer, cider and wine. The staff there is so nice, they let me try something before I committed to it. The theatre itself is large with different types of seating. I prefer the high top tables in the back row. The show started a bit later than advertised but it was all good. The show was so funny! And of course in true improv style, they had the audience participation by asking for prompts and input. I would 100% go back!
