While not amazing, it has a good number of play stations at which the kids were having a blast (has soft surface to help when kids fall) Plus big green fields to run and play The only downsides are that the sandbox could definitely use some more sand and someone had clogged up the drain for the drinking fountain (...with sand...)

Date of visit: October 4, 2026…read more I had the privilege of attending a wedding at this facility and found it to be a lovely escape from the doldrums of Rockford. A smaller version of a similar garden I visited in Rockford, there were winding paths, stately bridges, and lovely water features to view as you stroll through the grounds. The pavilion made for a wonderful location to hold the ceremony and we had time afterwards before the meal to take a spin through the gardens. Naturally there is a gift shop as well, and while I didn't really take a measurable amount of time there, it seemed to have a nice variety of items for purchase as well. Staff we encountered were also friendly and informative. I seriously doubt I will be in Rockford again soon (or ever), but if I was, I would make time to stop here again if the weather was favorable.

The attraction is away from highway interstate. The visit takes 30 minutes to one hour. Small pond, decorated bridge, or statue can be found in the park. There some Japanese style building surrounding the garden. Overall is a very neat garden. I think the fees are a bit high for this garden. Parking is available on site.

Not exactly sure what river it is, Illinois i think? The playground is well maintained, my 10 year old loved it. Not your traditional playground with swings and seesaws, but plenty of stuff to climb. There's also a walking trail along the river but I was sad that I couldn't go because we didn't take the baby stroller! We had our infant in the car seat and she was too heavy to lug that thing around in. Parent fail! Would love to come back and bring my walking shoes to get my steps in!

It was a lot of fun, not very challenging but of course, our group made it competitive. After putting, we did the go-karts, which was also a lot of fun! Some of the guys' karts were slow, which was probably a good thing. They also have an arcade area, which was nice and cool since it was quite warm and muggy outside during the time we were there. The bathrooms were clean. We didn't try any of their food while there, but they had ice cream! Overall a good place to hang with a large group, good for families with kids, or adults that want to have fun like kids :D

A perfect place to bring kids, and it seems like it's geared toward kids between 0-10 years old. Also, there is a changing table as well as a kid sized toilet in the bathroom; they thought of everything! This museum is a fabulous resource for the area.

A couple lakes. There's also tons of trails. Come in here a few ways but the main entrance is where most come in. It's got a couple lakes. The main one is Pierce Lake which has many picnic areas along there. Boating is a favorite activity. On the south shore of the lake is a boat rental and concession building that's the main launching point. Get supplies if needing to get any. On the north shore of the lake is the campground which is private. Got to contact them ahead of time to get access for it. There's also cabins if not wanting to be in a motor home or whatever. Across the interstate is Olson Lake. This has a beach which is a popular place for families and picnics. It also has a sport dog training area. They practice for those hunters who like to shoot things. At the main entrance of the park is prairie restoration areas. These preserve the natural beauty of the park and are of interest to those in conservation efforts. Great place for outdoor activities. It's got the main entrance on State Route 173 but there's other ways to get in. The park is great for boating, hiking on lots of trails or whatever.

It's not a bad barn... huge lobby. Play World inside…read more The ice itself is wet and soft. The kids had a hard time finding their edges during the game. There was an announcer for the game, but inconsistent music. There's a lot of seating inside and no seat is a bad one. I believe there are no heaters, or they are not functioning, because the stands were cold. There is a concession stand that isn't consistently open, but when it is, the prices are moderate to expensive. Just a shade higher than normal. Better to bring your own snacks. Another complaint is the officiating is severely questionable for visitors. After watching several games, it's notable that the home team has not been called for blatant offsides as well as not taking many penalties. In all the games I have seen here, the home team has tagged a majority of their goals off the power play. I know that referees are human, so I can't blame them for mistakes, however it is a huge coincidence that whether it is "our" team or another team, the statistics are similar against the home team. I can't take away from the home team, as they are good players with good coaches. I don't live in the area, so it is doubtful that I would come here unless there was a game or tourney. I will say that this is your average space, nothing that stands out, but worth a check if you're looking to get on the ice.

Mixed feelings. We had my daughter's birthday party here this past month. It was affordable and…read morefun, but we left a bit disappointed. They warn you that you can only set up your decorations 15 minutes before the party. The room was empty so I started setting up a few minutes earlier than that thinking it wouldn't be a big deal. One of the female staff members came in with an aggressive tone and informed us we would be charged another half hour for setting up too soon. We don't argue and just said okay and sorry. Looking back, I am still shocked by the unnecessary tone and demeanor for setting up 5 mins early. Don't be in customer service if you don't have people skills. On top of that, the ceiling began to leak in two spots so they had to bring in buckets to catch the water. This was right in front of our photo backdrop so it was a bit embarrassing. After we expressed our frustrations, they comped the extra 30 mins they had tacked on. I guess at least they did something. I'll go back to play there but I'm not going to book a party again.
