Midwest Brewer's Fest in Plainfield is at the Plainfield Riverfront Park with a ton of craft beers…read morein 2 oz servings. Parking is a good distance walk on a rocky, uneven path from the fest and costs $10! Good thing we had our emergency valet money in the car because we weren't prepared for that cost as the website listed free parking. My friend wasn't all that happy with paying for parking but I reminded him that the money all goes to a good cause. :D Plus!!! We got our tickets for free (Thanks, Candice!!!) - and they're normally $40 when you prepay. It was hot as balls on the day of the fest. Being hot as balls, it would have been nice to have more tents & seating set up for people to relax. Also, they had water kegs on the lawn, but were empty when I tried to get some water. Other than the parking, water and bathroom situation, I thought the event was well put together and ran quite smoothly. Because there were so many breweries, lines were relatively short. My favorite beer was the Watermelon from Horny Goat. I've passed Horny Goat in Milwaukee many times so was pleased I got to try one of their brews. They were out of their other two offerings by 3pm (two hours in) which suited me fine as I wanted the Watermelon...but others were leaving the line a bit crabby. Because of the extreme heat, we didn't stay the full fest and I couldn't drink as much beer as I would have liked. I had 17 tickets left at the end of the fest (started out with 25) and felt a bit sad I couldn't use them. On the long walk back to the car, my flip flop broke! Eek! So I had to gimp back to the car, dying to go pee because I refused to go in the porta potties onsite. All in all, it was a decent festival but could tweak some areas to make it amazing festival. I'll probably skip the fest next year unless the weather is nice and cool and the breweries promise to offer some more unique choices.

It did not feel like there were many changes besides the two new rooms I noticed. It's still probably one of the best haunted houses in the area imo, but I don't know if I would keep returning every year. It's the type of haunted house you can only go to once. The new rooms I noticed were truly amazing and decorated so well. They had a carousel room with a moving floor that I absolutely loved, along with a room full of old dolls. Those were my two favorites for sure!! They take you on a school bus to and from the parking lot, and I wish they did more with the school bus aspect. It would be amazing if there was like a haunted school theme or things that happen during the bus ride. The one thing I do love about this place is that it incorporates an outdoor part where you walk through the woods, eventually reaching the haunted house. It feels spooky and I got scared so many times. The actors here are amazing and can even be funny and (even insulting at times lol). They definitely like to mess with you and make it fun. It's pricey and I spent almost $100 for two people. I think we waited in line for almost two hours. We got in line around 8:15pm and didn't end up finishing until about 11pm. The actual haunted house portion was about 30 minutes long, so the line is definitely the bulk of the time spent here. There are scare actors that entertain while you wait in line and there are scare actors at the end of the haunted house walking around. I really appreciate the complimentary photo stations as well!

Most rides are for children 3-9, as they are usually accompanied by an adult. I saw many older kids 13-18 waiting in line for rides that are not for realistically made for them. This makes longer wait times as 1 person will get on vs 2/3. Other than that lots to do, make time to get your family photo in the middle of the park which is sent via text to your phone. Love the petting zoo where carrots/veggies are sold for $5 a cup. Fun time for the kids to go around and feed the animals. Once you leave, there is a shop area where you can buy mini pumpkins, souvenirs and snacks as well. So many great spots all around for photos!! Can't wait to be back next year.

The…read moregames I played were Elven Assassin, Beat Saber, and another game that takes me on an elevator ride to see if I'm afraid of heights as I walk along a plank coming out from a high-rise building. My ultimate favorite out of all of those is Elven Assassin. Why, you ask? It tested my skills, or lack thereof, on shooting some characters with a bow and arrow. It was very interactive and engaging. I was fully immersed in this game, I tell you! If you decide to go, I suggest playing this game. My son and boyfriend played a fun boxing game. They both got a good workout out of it, so much that they were exhausted by the end of the game! You must check that one out too! They have over 200 games you can play. As soon as I found out this info I knew I'd have to return many times. I did not want to leave the place, honestly. The staff there is very helpful and friendly. They'll guide you by giving you instructions on how to use the equipment so if you've never tried VR before that won't be an issue. I highly recommend checking out this place!

It was hot (in the high 90's) yet when we walked in the place was very chill (temperature and attitude). But best of all they had shuffleboard. And a good one at that. We opted to forego the free play and spent quarters just so we could use the vintage scoreboard....it was as much fun and playing the game.
