I'll start off by saying I do have nostalgia for this place. I have skated on the ice here since…read moreage 3. The building definitely shows it age, but it still has that local rink feel to it. ** This review is really only in regards to the ice rink part, and not the pool, gym or gymnastics facility areas as I haven't used them much at all. ** I think they've done a decent job with upkeep and it seems they still get good business from high school programs and the in house team (Renegades) . I frequent these days mostly for mens league (dad plays) and it has certainly been steady thus far. I do feel the locker rooms are a negative, as players have to carry their gear upstairs, and they do not boast a lot of space. Time to time their tends to be a smell, but hey, it's a hockey rink I suppose. At the end of the day, the place gets the job done and still holds that local charm.

Went to Birchwood Park District for the first time today for my son's toddler b-ball class. Upon…read morewalking in, first impression.....facilities look pretty small and fairly old (though I saw a sign that said a new indoor pool just opened in August). However, five stars goes to the park district for an amazing toddler b-ball class. I'm a bit blown away by how interactive, fun, and age appropriate it was for my son (he's 3 years old). We've been to other park district classes in other states and we were never too thrilled about the quality of teaching. The class was small (maybe some kids were missing), but they ended up having a one to one teacher to kid ratio, so each kid got lots of attention. They started off with stretching, pretended to be different animals and raced across the gym as those animals, and had one on one training with their coach to learn how to dribble, bounce pass, shoot the b-ball into a kiddie hoop, and more. My son loved it. This was only the first day, so can't really say how the course was as a whole, but so far so good. Thanks to the coaches (Coach Jack, Coach Diana, and Coach Andy) for a superb job.

This review is for the rec center only…read more This facility was renovated 5 or so years ago, and the gym is very nice. It has wood floors, scoreboards, and a small bleacher section (5 rows) on one side. There are regular daily open gym hours, and many other activities. Pioneer also has a swimming pool, baseball diamond, football field, and tennis courts. It also has the best fenced in, lighted, full court outdoor basketball court in all of Arlington Heights. Highly recommended!

When you're looking for stuff to do with your kids, you have 3 main questions:…read more 1. Will my kid have fun? 2. Will it make my kid tired enough to sleep? 3. Can I do this without spending a fortune? In the case of Jump Town, the answer to all 3 is: YES When you walk in, you'll remove your shoes, sign a waiver and pay your entry fee ($13 during the week, $15 on weekends). What's nice is that the price includes two free adults per child. Inside, you'll find massive bounce houses and trampolines designed to burn off all that preschool energy. Everything is free with the exception of a couple of video games or air hockey. There's a small room in the back with some building materials for kids who like to do that. There's a small fenced-in area with small play structures for really little kids. They do have a snack stand available, but you can bring your own food. They have 2 women's bathrooms and 1 for men. There are party rooms available. I think the right age for this place is 3-6. When we were there on a Sunday, there were a couple of bigger kids who don't really know how to watch out for little ones, so if your kid is on the small side, you might need to keep a close eye on them. If you'd like to save money, you can get a 10-pack of visits for $100. You'll probably be back, so this is a great value, especially if you have more than one kid.

Keep in mind that at the most, I think you could still take your 8yo here, but 9 is pushing it for most kiddos. That could change if you bring their younger siblings. With the annual pass, you get to hang out as long as you want. I saw a mom working at the dining area while her kids ran around. Our 5yo is super happy here and she will be for many more years. The food is a little pricey as well, but it's decent quality. We got the daddy basket and it came with our choice of simply lemonade drinks. I'm also surprised that there are affordable souvenirs here with figures as low as $1.99 and mid-sized stuffies for $6.99. It's a safe environment with lots of space so you don't feel crowded. Also, plenty of places to sit and watch you kids as they explore. Bottom Line: Highly recommended for locals, slightly expensive for tourists. Worth it for fans of Peppa Pig.
