I swore as a girl, still do, but I heard the "N" word out of every kids mouth there like every second, girls and boys. But America's future didn't bother the old hag too much, they were mostly giddy happy kids, so smiled and laughed with them at some of their interactions lol! Anywho, I was very pleasantly surprised by this facility. The haunted house itself is brilliant. The promoter had given us free tix to check out his domain and I heard regular price is $5 which, honestly, I think is too low for what they've done. I've paid $25 for mediocre hauntings and it's a lot of hard work and imagination to get those things up and running. Inside, they have pretty current props, special effects, scenes that are chilling. When I first entered, I actually felt as if I was in a horror film. Only one other haunted house made me feel like this. I think if you feel as if its real, you've done your job. The props were creepy and the sounds snd movements were scary. Spoiler: You have to crawl at one point, so don't wear something impractical lol! There wasn't much "jump" actors, but I can do without. There were imitate "grudge" & "ring" characters that are crawling on the floors which always work. I won't spoil anymore, but I'd highly recommend this place. Thumbs up!

I still have a long way to go, but I have learned so much here. It doesn't matter if you are dancing with a very experienced dancer or someone who just started, the other students are friendly and supportive. It is a very inter-generational, international place. I've danced with people of all ages from all over the world here. It's never to late to start dancing. You will be glad you took a class here.

The instructors are all so approachable, FUN, and helpful in learning moves, building upon them, and being aware of musicality. I have had such positive interactions with each of them and would recommend them all, but I do have to say - Yanira is just someone I look up to so much as a dancer. She has so much to offer and teach and somehow she also presents herself so humbly and beautiful all at once. #goals Those that work admin have worked with me with my changing schedule and I value their patience with me So much! So much. I definitely have been blessed by Latin Street and I would recommend this school.

Venue was extremely packed (literally elbow to elbow with people so no room to eat, walk, or anything). Ended up being scammed at one of the food stands. Was charged $55 for two flautas when the vendor said $15. I came back to give my food back and he said "no you already took a bite" so I called him a scammer and he started cussing at me. Will be charging this transaction back, especially since they are a fake business with no real address or working phone number.

There's supposed to be high‐flying masked wrestlers (Mexican lucha libre) at 1 pm this Saturday May 25 - don't miss that. I went May 24. This place was alive - the music, the people it was hoping like summer is finally here. Yes, they have lots of Mole sauce to pour on whatever dish you buy. Some have free tasting. It's actually very good. The $9 20 ounce Sangria's don't hurt either. This experience is a twofer. First, you get the fest to eat, drink, and be entertained just like any fest. Second, the whole thing is a cultural experience from the food to the shopping it's not your usual fare. So go now. Summer won't last long in Chicago.

The made us sign these silly waivers in the rainy wind. The drinks (gin, vodka, rum, whiskey) were ok but way too sweet and pretty strong. The decor and costumed characters were ok. I was expecting a more interesting atmosphere. They needed more seating. Some couches. Only saw a small bench in each room. It was very stuffy too. One of the "creatures" got too aggressive to the point of cornering me and not letting me go. Triggering. Hence the waiver I guess. It was a fun experience but really not worth the cost. I would do it if it were $20-40 and a cash bar rather than their setup.

I saw their immersive play Masque Macabre today and I have tickets to see The Revolutionists next month. The MM production quality and acting were top notch, with richly layered lighting to set the tones of the various areas and highly detailed sets and props. The costumers did a great job of using various masqusrade masks to highlight the inner workings of each character and I really enjoyed the way in which we were brought into the world MM inhabits. Being an immersive theatre artist myself, I saw a lot of potential in the script, yet found the plot lacking any real driving force or conflict. Because of this it quickly deflated for me, which is something that happens a lot with newcomers to immersive theatre. I was still able to enjoy myself by viewing the piece as more of an art installation and character study than a theatrical narrative. I do hope Strawdog continues to develop other immersive pieces because they really are onto something. With some tweaks they could have the next big hit on their hands. I would even love the opportunity to point out the show's flaws and help them strengthen their immersive aspects. I was still very impressed by what they put together and look forward to seeing The Revolutionists next month.

The building is small (it is a martial arts studio) and the virtual reality section is just a couple of screens on the side. The kids really enjoyed it, but for adults, it wasn't quite what we were expecting. We expected more of an interactive experience where we could all play together. Only one person can play at a time. Not the type of place to go with a group of friends but the kids had a lot of fun!

I was here on Good Friday since I had the day off. I made my gaming partner go early because those times were discounted and boy, am I glad I did! By the time our 90 minutes were up, the place was getting PACKED. It made my heart happy to see so many families doing something active and together! Like I stated before, I have been coming since it opened, and I appreciated in this visit that the instruction screens were updated, some of the rooms that we not working on my previous version were up and running again, etc. I also appreciate an upgrade to their reward system! Before, they used to hand you items (a water bottle, a basketball, etc.), but now you earn coins and can "spend" them on the items of your choice. I prefer that so I can pick items that I will actually use! (The aforementioned water bottle and basketball were donated to my local charity shop.) I chose a personal bracelet that Activate uses to track your time and points while you are actively participating in the games. The facilities have bathrooms, access to clean drinking water, free lockers to protect your belongings, etc. This time, too, I wore my fitness tracker for kicks and giggles and I burned almost 500 calories in 90 minutes of fun. I wish they offered a summer pass or a monthly pass like other entertainment options in the suburbs.

The…read more90 min session was not available but 60 min is more than enough to try all of the rooms at least once. After that, you can choose to go back to your favorite ones. There are free lockers to put your belongings as well as a free coat check. There are restrooms and a water fountain in the very back. There is a lounge area that is used for private parties but you can also just sit in there. You can watch other people play on the big screen. I recommend wearing casual or active attire because you'll get a workout for sure Each game room has a variety of levels and different types of games within that room. The cost per person is cheaper Mon - Thurs. $20.99 for 60 mins. $26.99 for 90 mins. Fri - Sun it's $26.99 for 60 mins and $38.99 for 90 mins. For Mondays and holidays, it's best to check back because the prices do change. I highly recommend booking on the website instead of blindly going there. The slots fill up fast. The games are short so you don't have to wait long to go into that room. The room types are arena, climb, grid, hoops, mega laser, hide, control, mega grid, strike, portals, and press. The staff were all friendly and helpful. There's no issue with finding parking.
