TL;DR: The ice cream is not great. But for the novelty of the experience, it is worth making your…read moreway here. I haven't been inside the venue; we came here for the Sugar Hole one warm late spring day. It's a cute and fun idea. My daughter (age 2) was curious about the puppet but a bit wary, but she put up with it since she was with mom and there was ice cream. She was pleased with her twist with sprinkles. The ice cream was big--I don't know why I didn't think of getting one to share, since usually if they don't suggest different sizes they're too big for a toddler. As it was we each only ate half of ours (I got the swamp monster, because who wouldn't be curious?) so keep that in mind when you're ordering. I wouldn't come here just for the ice cream; there are a lot of ice cream shops around, including a Dairy Queen not too far away, all of which have much better ice cream. There was no line when we got there but one formed pretty quickly after we ordered. The puppet chats briefly with folks, and of course it's a big photo moment, so the line is probably a bit slowe than in other places. But the treat comes out pretty quickly after ordering.

From the moment we toured the space and met with Adam to the clean-up the next day, every aspect of our event was handled with great detail.

The venue is amazing as it has beautiful views of the Chicago River and a great vibe with how they decorated the space. We had 200 guests attend our 80's Prom themed fundraiser. The venue layout is perfect for designing a cool themed event and it's super spacious with plenty of room both inside and outside on the patio deck overlooking the river. All of our guests raved about the venue...we can't wait to return next year! Thank you Adam and River Room staff!
