My hubs and I visited Old Orchard Links for the first in the early afternoon on Memorial Day…read more There were only a couple of other groups here when we arrived, but by the time we left the place was packed. For two adults and two rounds of mini golf the cost was only $20. We played each of the 2 courses; they have a blue course and an orange course. 18 holes on each course. Adult price for 18 holes is just $6. If you play the second course immediately following the first it's just $4 more. Hubs even bought a beer for a mere $4. The mini golf courses are very well maintained and super clean. No trash to be seen anywhere. Clean ponds. The gentleman working in the pro-shop/game area was super friendly and did a nice job of explaining the rules, as we'd never been here before. I like that Old Orchard had 4 different putter lengths to choose from. Most mini golf places never give you an option. I highly recommend visiting. Fun for all ages and a great location. You could definitely make a day out of Old Orchard and visit the bowling alley, too. We'll be back!

The girlfriend and I decided to take advantage of the beautiful weekend weather and played a round…read moreat Old Orchard Links yesterday and it exceeded expectations. I love mini golf and this place was so great. First off, it was really reasonably priced for the two of us to golf 18 holes at $6.00 per person. They also offer food, ice cream, and a variety of drinks (including beer) to have while you're hitting the links. The holes themselves were really nice and well kept. They were equal parts fun and challenging. Quite a few holes have water hazards that ended up being my demise, but it was all in good fun. We golfed on 18 of the 36 that they have to offer, but we'll definitely be back soon. Highly recommended!

It was really nice as expected: historic house and gardens, well maintained. For quality and amenities it's more on the level of a nice B&B, with a generous cafe just a short walk away (but not in winter!). Staff were kind and upgraded our room when the small room we checked in somehow had a messed bed. Generous parking and much of the main sites are drivable. I'd love to come back in another season!

I did my best to move most of them. You can see the staff just ran over them with there quads while on patrol, lol. Not much flora from mushrooms to birds to animals wild flowers. The U of I torn down the "tea house" that the original owner was disguised with that act. With all the houses on the property why did not the U of I make a beautiful creation like they do on campus to restore history. They might have some events that are cool, but grounds not taken care of at least get some goats. If you like easy snooze trails, this if your hike, nothing here is even a moderate level, all easy. Only a honest review as always.

He went from being unsure about his head being underwater to jumping into the pool. He can doggie paddle well and swim a little. I've seen a lot of progress over last summer. The other places seemed to focus on water acclimation, while this place actually worked on technique. I am getting excited to see how well he will swim after this summer. The instructors are kid friendly, fun, yet firm. I recommend.

This was actually so much fun. I discovered them on tiktok. We did the behind the scenes package…read morewhich is about $250 for five people it includes Museum, walkthrough, and drive through access. So one thing to remember with this package you are already going to the kangaroos and you are able to put them so you don't need the encounter for the kangaroos with this package. The owner realized that we purchased all three animal encounters and he was kind enough to refund us the kangaroo encounter. For their animal encounters it's like $10 each and I did like the scaly and cuddly encounter it was consist of bunnies, Hedgehog, sugar glider, a gecko, and a turtle and python. The other encounter I didn't like so much it was more of a learning about the animals which I think would easily be included with the behind the scenes instead of making it an encounter because they were just talking about the birds they were pretty birds but you don't really have an encounter with the animal the only thing that they did have an encounter with was the armadillo. I would definitely come back even though it's 3 hours away because it was so much fun and I definitely know what I want to get the next time I want the ATV Drive Through Safari package because that was so much fun and that was so worth it. They had huge camels horses zebras it's honestly an amazing experience and you need to try it.
