    The National Park honoring the life of Herbert Hoover is inspiring and educational. The complex is…read morelarge and includes a Visitors Center, his original birthplace cottage, schoolhouse, blacksmith, gravesite, park and Presidential Library and Museum. We started our tour in the Visitor's Center. We were greeted by a friendly Park Ranger, who described the layout of the center. A twelve minute movie provides a nice overview of Hoover's life from boyhood to post presidential. The Center also has a room with interactive displays and artifacts. I confess that I didn't know much about Hoover prior to this visit. His story is memorable as he was raised Quaker, became orphaned at a young age, yet managed to attend Stanford University and become a successful geologist. Then, he became president and devoted his life to international outreach. What an inspirational story! Despite cold rain, we took the short walk to Hoover's boyhood cottage, the blacksmith shop where his father worked and the schoolhouse. Each stop was informative. Nice boardwalks connect all the buildings, which are wheel chair accessible. The museum was closed for major renovations and will reopen in 2026. The grave site (behind the museum) is peaceful, simple and lovely. There is nearby parking. The Park is easy on/off US 80. The site was free to visit (although donations are accepted). There were public restrooms in the Visitors Center. I encourage a visit if you like history. The Park is a great place to bring kids. Plan a couple hours.

    Admittedly, I don't do much research before visiting an NPS site, as I would like to be educated by…read morethe informational displays present. If I have additional questions, I just look them up later. So, it was a huge surprise to me that this place was pretty sizable. Starting from the visitor's center, you can meander your way through the grounds containing the former president's house (and birth place), his school house, and his original Quaker church. There's also a blacksmithery which has demonstrations over the weekends. Finally, you can see his grave site. I unfortunately did not have time to visit the museum, but the NPS ranger had good things to say about it. There is also a small path to the prairie to give you a sense of what Hoover's family encountered before they farmed the land. Overall, this was a great visit!

    Went here yesterday afternoon to see the Bandits get beat by the Kane County Cougars. Despite the…read moreloss, it was Irish Day at the park, and it was a blast. Food: It is typical ballpark food. Overpriced and overly greased (for the most part) but I highly recommend the Philly Steak stand. Great quality and quanity of food in your sandwich and one of the better places. Atmosphere: Typical minor league ball park with a great view of the bridge and the Mississippi. Searing is plentiful and it's great for kids as they have activities for them after every inning. Lots of giveaways and very friendly staff make it a lot of fun. Price: Almost unbeatable. For a ticket, three rows behind home plate... $15!!! Maybe that's the Chicagoan in me, but those prices are a steal for some minor league baseball. If I'm back in town and the Bandits are playing, I'll definately make an effort to go a d check it out!

    My negative experience started prior to even getting inside the stadium. At the ticket booth, I…read moreshowed I am a Green State member and asked for 4 tickets in total (buy 2/get 2 free). I asked for Berm seats specifically as I had previously been to a game on Wednesday July 1 earlier this month as well and purchased the same 4 set of tickets on the berm (purchasing 2 and getting 2 "free"). Except on this occasion, the gentleman at the ticket office indicated they do not honor berm seats under the "buy one get one free" system for Green State members. Nowhere is this advertised, and again, nor was this my experience within this same month. He brought his manager over who stated the same thing. I was firm in my stance, that this was not the standard nor was it my previous experience, but I was told I had to purchase seats elsewhere in the stadium, despite me attempting to share because I had three children all age 5 and under, I likely wasn't going to "sit" much at all anyway. In any case, I reluctantly purchased 4 tickets (only paying for 2 as a Green State member) and went in. Once inside, my children all wished to ride the rides. After all, this was a Wednesday and at our last game on July 1, they rode ALL rides for free (including the Ferris Wheel, Frog Hopper, train ride, and merry go round). At the July 1 game, they rode each ride numerous times (at least 5 times on all) and no staff asked questions or made us do anything to else. At this game (July 29) a female staff member (red hair, glasses, nose ring on the right side, trigus piercing right side) was extremely rude and indicated I needed tickets or a bracelet to ride the train or frog hopper. I gently tried explaining that this was not the case at my last game 4 weeks ago and that nowhere is it advertised one needed a bracelet or ticket to do so. I kindly asked if she could ask her manager to which she lied and stated he was "in a meeting". Come to find out, he wasn't, as she radioed him and he indicated my children could ride without the bracelet or a ticket. This girl exhibited unprofessionalism like I have never seen before. I worked for this team in 2015 as the Clubhouse Manager and have kept in contact with a few staff since that season. The River Bandits as a team could do a lot better without having this girl on staff. Her negative attitude and behavior was well noticed by others, not just me. I even attempted to tell the young man who was in charge of the Frog Hopper ride about my experience 4 weeks prior and he didn't seem to care if my kids rode the ride, but her stuck up attitude prevented not only my children but others from enjoying the fun at Modern Woodman Park. Dave Heller, the owner, is a former politician, so I'm sure he cares greatly about the image of his stadium and its employees. After all, he did pull political strings in 2020 to save the franchise from being eliminated from MiLB since the River Bandits were originally slated to be cut by MLB before he stepped in. All I am asking for is CONSISTENCY. My children all had the best experience at the July 1 game (minus how unbelievably hot it was). This time, I had to pay more than I should have, and my children did not have as much fun as they were expecting. The red haired girl with the nose ring and glasses exhibited an attitude I would never employ, especially at a baseball stadium that prides itself on being the "best" in minor league baseball.
