    Ryleigh was great. She's a great example of the type of mixologist you need to be the face of The Ghost Trap. She's friendly and attentive. She exudes the people skills required to be in such role. She not only took our orders but was willing to explain other cocktails as she prepared them. My wife and I had an amazing date night!

    The dining/lounge area inside Wonderverse is very nice. Bit odd to have xmas trees up in late January, tho...

    MANDATORY FUN Sony's Wonderverse is a kaleidoscopic good time. Open since early 2024, this huge entertainment venue can be found on the outskirts of Oak Brook Mall between Pinstripes and Lifetime Fitness, above the L.L. Bean store in the northwest corner of the shopping center. This place is geared more towards families and younger kids than Activate across the street. We came here on 1/26/25 as part of a special event brunch celebrating their 1yr anniversary. There's lots of Sony IPs featured here, including Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs and Hotel Transylvania. On some days, they have costumed characters walking around and live music at night. The brunch buffet was much better than I expected. We arrived shortly after 10am and basically had the entire space to ourselves, which was equal parts eerie and serene. The dining room still had Christmas wreaths, lights, and even a projection of 'Happy Holidays', somewhat strange to see in late January. We enjoyed pancakes, bacon, sausage, breakfast potatoes, scrambled eggs, biscuits & gravy, a Crunchberry waffle bar, carving station w/prime rib and ham, plus chicken tenders, baked mac 'n cheese, and fries. All drinks were included, so the only extra expense was my bloody mary ($7), a lame effort of tomato juice and - maybe - splash of vodka. Their arcade has air hockey, basketball, a Dance Dance Revolution knockoff, Skee-Ball, House of the Dead 5, and plenty more. The games of skill are unusual in that you don't get any tickets for playing, rather, you have to reach a certain high score on a given game, which you get a voucher redeemable for....something? There's an area for dynamic driving sims on motion platforms. It's more of a ride than a game, so much so that you have to wear a seatbelt. I took one for a spin and was surprised at how aggressive the motions were. Forget seatbelts, those things need airbags! This was lots of fun and I'd come back for this. They've got several virtual reality rooms including Jumanji and two Ghostbusters experiences (in one, you're driving the Ecto-mobile, in another you're firing proton packs). There's also an escape room themed to Uncharted that has 3 different 30-minute challenges. These are booked in advance and are a separate $20-30 charge. The Zombieland-themed bumper car arena is very small. They squeezed 6 bumper cars onto a floor the size of a bedroom, threw a zombified torso on a wooden rafter and called it a day. I know Zombieland is a popular IP, but this should've been a shooting gallery instead of a halfhearted bumper car zone. Since Wonderverse is located on the top floor (no escalators), you can either hoof it up two lengthy flights of concrete steps, or take the elevator.....except that it was broken during our visit. We were carrying a toddler, baby, and stroller, so this was no small inconvenience. Going up wasn't as tricky as walking DOWN those steep-ass stairs, and in the middle of winter! -1 full star for that bullsh*t. * TL;DR * Pulsing with bright LEDs and VR headsets, Wonderverse is a great place to spend a few hours. Brunch was a terrific value at $25pp for the special event, and that included a $30 game card. I wasn't too impressed with their arcade (which could use a few pinball tables) and the bumper cars seems like a creative misfire. The rest of the place is pretty cool. The biggest gripe I have is the fact that entry is on the upper level of the mall, so if you're a family with small kids and/or a stroller, you desperately need a working elevator. Without it, climbing aaaalllll those outdoor stairs with a little one is a pain and a wee bit dangerous. Fix the elevator and then let's talk again.

    I wanted to go to a place where my nephews and I could have a good time. A family member mentioned they went and had a great so I wanted to try. I had read mixed reviews but wanted my own experience. I came across a groupon and that intrigued me more. It was a variety of arcade game, vr simulations, air hockey and so much more. It was a nice space and pretty quiet for a Saturday. I will go back. The workers were helpful when needed. My nephews having a great time was a win.

    Fried mac and cheese balls

    I thoroughly enjoyed my time at Wonderverse. It's a place worth experiencing at least once to indulge in its unique offerings, though I can't see it becoming a regular hangout spot. Think of it like one of those summer blockbuster movies that are great for a one-time thrill, but not something you'd watch on repeat. The Ghostbusters-themed bar is amazing, doing an excellent job capturing the essence of the classic films. While the drinks were delicious, I was disappointed that the featured Ghost Trap shots advertised on the website were unavailable, existing only as promotional material. That disappointment aside, the restaurant's got some great food. The fried mac and cheese balls paired with pickle fries were excellent appetizers and the bleu cheese burger was a savory masterpiece. The escape rooms are a highlight, offering fun challenges that range from easy to medium difficulty. We navigated all three without needing hints, except during a minor technical hiccup. Despite the venue being nearly empty, the staff were on-point, attentive, and friendly. The Jumanji VR game is a must-try. It's impressively interactive and cleverly designed how they have you and your group move from room-to-room. I thought it was kind of funny that I turned into Ruby Roundhouse and actually spent a little bit of time admiring myself in the reflection. I also accidentally bumped into a wall and hurt my hand (nothing serious), so be careful when trying to dodge hungry alligators! (Side note: this review was written during the Summer of 2024 but I forgot to actually hit the "Post Review" button...)

    I learned of Wonderverse through a Facebook ad about the Friendsgiving event they were having. It was about $67 per couple or BOGO at $33.50 per person. The location is quite large and the staff was helpful in navigating where to go. They provided a buffet of all Thanksgiving type foods. It was all very average tasting at best. They only offered one specialty drink which was Boss Water. It sells normally for $16 but included as part of this package. We also received three hours of unlimited play on most of their games. Here's the catch, the card and wireless system to activate games is often very slow. In some cases, I waited 60-90 seconds before it would even read the card as valid. Other times, I had to tap the card again to make it work. It was slightly frustrating. My friends got wild because they could use their cards on the claw machines and they seemed to enjoy that. Everything is movie themed which makes sense. It's clean and quite large. I enjoyed my time with friends.

    VR Ghostbusters
    Joneice B.

    We randomly headed out to Oakbrook to try the Ghostbusters VR game. This facility is located on the edge of the center. Plenty of parking right outside. We headed up to the facility which does have accessible elevators. Upon entering we noticed how spacious the Wonderverse is. I was surprised by how big the bar was. In addition to the bar was various dining areas. The dining area was perfect for watching sports as big TV were all over the facility. For games, they literally have everything: basketball, dance, bumper cars, racing, arcade. We came solely to try the ghostbusters opportunities. We opted to play the VR academy which was lengthy and very high tech. Thanks you to Jamari for setting us up and explaining how to play the game. We appreciate his customer service and how thorough he was at explaining the difference between the VR game and the racing Ghostbusters game. We didn't have a chance to eat but they did have an expansive restaurant. Further, they had several food specials for Football day items to include a 5lb cheeseburger. All in all, we had a good time checking this place out. Very appropriate for a date night or a family day.

    Appetizer loaded nachos with chicken

    I came here for my mother in law's birthday. It was not what I expected upon entering. There is a lot of free space with more lounge/ sitting areas than games. The games were on one side with a few VR games, and escape room, and Ghostbusters VR. The bar was in the middle of the space with the restaurant upon entrance. It was very quiet and laidback which was unexpected for me. Service was nonexistent as it being our first, no one seemed to ask if we needed help. We simply figured it out on our own by just walking around. There is a desk near the entrance but it was for the restaurant and they weren't as welcoming. Food was pretty pricey! We went with an appetizer, loaded nachos, and fries. It wasn't that great to taste as i believe the fries tasted better. I would come back for a date night as the games were more limited and more adult friendly than kid friendly. Overall it was an interesting experience but could have been better.

    Ghostbusters speakeasy! Super cute!
    Sylvia P.

    I discovered this place through my Instagram algorithm one day when a deal appeared for an all-you-can-eat breakfast buffet along with a $30 play card for just $30. Essentially, you get the brunch for free (minus taxes and tips). It's a great deal! The all-you-can-eat breakfast buffet was surprisingly good. Nonalcoholic drinks were included, and there were so many options that there was guaranteed to be something for everyone. The space itself is massive, featuring a charming main bar area. Be sure to check out the really cool Ghostbusters-themed speakeasy. We also enjoyed the Zombieland bumper cars and tried a few VR rides and arcade games. However, my only complaint is that, despite its size, there weren't as many activities for a 9-year-old girl as we had hoped. There were enough options, but with $90 between myself, my fiancée, and my daughter, she ended up doing some of the same activities repeatedly. Additionally, several machines were out of order. We would definitely return another day because it's such a great deal. Hopefully, next time, there will be fewer broken machines and a wider variety of games available

    Awesome 1980s cover band on July 12, 2024
    Marco N.

    Come here for a family event with kids of different ages. Manger and staff were very accommodating and helpful with late arrivals and even some free game play. Friday night at 8pm 1980s cover band was great. Everyone liked the food and games. Most of the vid I games are $3.50 per play. You need reservations for many of the other things, like escape rooms etc.

    Fried Ribs appetizer
    Christine L.

    Hubby has been wanting to come here for the longest time and we finally stopped by around 9pm on a Saturday night. It was a super chill vibe, they don't allow kids after 8pm and there's someone checking IDs at the entrance. As soon as we walked in too there was someone to greet us and answer our questions and let us know where to go. We grabbed dinner at the restaurant, our waiter was very friendly and helpful. The food was pretty decent, hubby loved the fried ribs which were falling off the bone, and it's not indicated on the menu but it came with a few fries/"chips" also. I ordered the brisket nachos which were also very good. The drinks looked good, and on our server's recommendation we went to the Ghost Trap, a 21+ "speakeasy". It's pretty neat, they've got dark lighting, ghostly lights flying around, and some good (and strong) drinks. We were able to find a table and ordered at the bar. It's a smallish but cozy space. We didn't do any of the paid entertainment, but it was sort of fun seeing some of the movie themed things. I actually wish there was more of that kind of thing to look around and see but it's also possible that I just didn't notice it. Staff and service was excellent, everyone was so helpful and friendly. It really made for a great experience. Also be sure to take advantage of the Yelp check in deal (available as of April 2024)!

    Alright I'm going to break this review down into a few parts. This review is specific to a pre-paid Hotel Transylvania character brunch with a designated time of 11:45am sit down. The event page sold tickets per time slot with the understanding you'd be sat at your designated time. Upon arrival, we checked in and got our wristbands and were told to stand in line. This is here the miscommunication began. The line was quite long at 11:45am considering that's the time we were to be sat. Not once did staff say "as a heads up, there's a long wait ahead or we're running behind, etc" nothing. So here we are standing in line waiting with 2 small kids as were many others. 45 minutes passes, we see the host randomly seating people out of order in the line based on how many people are in their party. I approached her and asked how much longer the wait would be - bomb dropped! She replies "we're doing the best we can because we were double booked, someone booked a party of 200 at the same time as this event." LOL! What a mess! Internal miscommunication there - how in the world do you book a party at the same time as an almost sold out event with pre-paid tickets sold and no refunds given. I have to say the staff was nice and welcoming and everyone was doing their best. Some guy even yelled and got in the face of the manager - a bit aggressive for my liking but hey it got him a table so to each their own. We asked her to split a large table with another party so she finally agreed to sit us with another family at a table of 10. Food: it was a brunch style buffet, unfortunately a lot of the food was running out so fast they were having trouble keeping the trays full. The food was fine, regular brunch food nothing with a wow factor. Our server only came around once with water and drinks for the kids, didn't see her again. Maybe it was the end of shift or break? Who knows. It took forever to get someone to pay for the 2 apple juices we got since the food was part of the prepaid ticket. I have to give it up for the back of the house staff who was doing their best to keep up with this poorly planed event. Thank you! We saw the characters plenty of times so that part was cool, they stopped to say hi and take photos with everyone. Half the characters were walking around the tables and the other half were on the other end of the dining area. Arcade area: each prepaid ticket got a play card to go into the arcade and play those games - here's the kicker it was packed! Everyone with the delays in seating etc finished around the same times causing a huge crowd in the arcade area and you couldn't really play much. As a first time visitor not knowing what to expect and excited to see this place for the first time - I can't say I'll return or be eager to check out another event. I really hope they learn from today's event for next weekend and plan ahead for all of these issues and lack of communication with customers.

    Great place to take the family. They have a bar for the adults , virtual reality for the kids (and adults ) . Also have a nice selection of arcades that everyone will appreciate

    Shopping mall chic?…read more If you've spent any time near a mall in the suburbs, there are a few staples you'll inevitably come across, one of them being Gibsons Bar & Steakhouse at 2105 S. Spring Rd. Gibsons has long been known as a go-to for a slightly upscale steakhouse experience in the suburbs. I hadn't been in years, but we were in the area and decided to go somewhere a bit nicer for dinner to celebrate my birthday, so we gave Gibsons another try. One highlight was the complimentary valet service, it was quick, easy, and very efficient. The restaurant was busy with lots of families and celebrations. The interior has a classic, almost mob-era steakhouse vibe, reminiscent of old-school 1930s-40s Italian-American dining rooms. Service was friendly and accommodating throughout the night. I ordered an Old Fashioned, and for my entrée I had a ribeye with a side of potatoes and broccoli. My friend ordered a filet mignon salad. We also shared a side salad. The food was solid overall, but the salads were a bit watery, and the ranch dressing was just okay. The steak was good, but not quite the standout I expected given the price point, ribs are close to $70, so expectations are understandably high. Everything felt consistent, but not particularly memorable. That said, Gibsons does feel very steady and familiar, which may be part of its appeal. It's the kind of place people return to because they know exactly what they're going to get. Even the bread was fine, but nothing really stood out as exceptional. One of the more memorable (and amusing) parts of the experience was the birthday tradition. I still can't fully make out what they're saying during the birthday song, it's loud, a bit barked, and honestly both funny and slightly intimidating. I can't decide if I love it or would be terrified by it as a kid. There was also an interesting moment with dessert, my ice cream was placed in a plastic bag inside a box of ice. Creative, but not exactly elegant. I definitely didn't eat it, but it was memorable in its own way. Overall, if you're looking for a consistent, classic steakhouse experience that leans more familiar than elevated, Gibsons fits that role. 3.5 out of 5 stars.

They brought out complimentary soup while I waited, and the second burger arrived without any toothpick. However, at the end of the night I was shocked that the waitress did not comp the burger despite the serious safety incident. This could have resulted in dental damage, mouth lacerations, or internal bleeding. The restaurant showed zero accountability or genuine concern for my well being. I used to visit every couple of months in every year, but after this experience I will not be returning. This is completely unacceptable. Also, even the cheese cakes are shrinking and the one I got was half of what it was last year. The place is spiralling into sad state of what used to be a place I really loved to go to.

We ended the night with four desserts, and every single one was delicious, especially the banana split. It wasn't your typical banana split sundae -- the caramelized banana gave it a rich, flavorful twist that made it unique and unforgettable. DRINKS: I started with the Rosé Spritz while everyone else ordered different cocktails. After trying mine, we all loved it so much that we ordered the same drink for the second round. It's not overly strong and has a slightly tart flavor, but it ended up being one of my favorite cocktails ever. I'll definitely order it again. Overall, the aesthetic and ambiance are incredible, though the prices are definitely on the higher side for the portion sizes. Still, it's a great spot for special occasions, celebrations, or a nice night out.

    We'd had this place on our list for a while. The menu certainly reads like the restaurant should…read morebe a fantastic night out. Against my better judgment, I even let them know it was my birthday when I made the reservation. We were seated at probably the worst table in the place: Front corner by the elevator and the bathrooms. I know someone has to sit there, but with the reservation and all...? One thing that is *not* mentioned on the website is that they have no liquor or spirits. Only $20 glasses of wine. My wife doesn't drink wine. This would have been terrific to know ahead of time. Food: charcuterie board was nice, but stingy. Grapes were well past being fresh. Other than that, good meat, good cheese. My steak nowhere near justified the price. No crust on the sear, cooked past my desired medium rare. The potato, despite being served with a cute tiny spoon for the crème fraiche, was just a potato. Not worthy of $14. Wife's burger was good, not great. Fries may have been the best part. It's a pretty room, so I understand why all the "influencers" and "content creators" frequent the place. The staff, in general, were aloof and standoffish. We did not feel particularly welcome; more like we were dining in a club we were not technically members of. Though we did see several desert looking items with candles coming out of the kitchen, we didn't get one (despite the note). I only included it because I figured that, as it was my actual birthday, maybe this place did something really special. Guess I'll never know. If this place had been half the price, I might have felt better about it. But if you are going to charge the prices this places charges, the food and the service need to be damn near perfect, and it just wasn't. I don't see a particular reason to go back .

    What a hidden gem in the heart of charming Villa Park! Cozy seating area but plenty of tv's, clean,…read moreand spread out. We had the sweetest waiter (Nick). He was extremely kind, courteous, and attentive while keeping up with the busy tables. Really makes a difference! And the FOOD! Omg amazing. Super fresh, tasty, and homemade with very generous portions If you aren't into beer, fear not because the cocktails are SO GOOD! I had the margarita and it was delicious and strong! The prices are not bad at all considering how delicious everything was. Come here instead of going out to the overhyped and over priced commercialized restaurants in Oak Brook.. You definitely get more bang for your buck at this place. Can't wait to go back!

On this coldish Wednesday winter evening, it wasn't as busy and boisterous as our previous visits, and that was just fine for our usual catchup party of 3.  Sam was our fine and attentive server and she adequately took care of the whole dining room on this night. Arriving at 5:30pm, we took advantage of Happy Hour and had 6 beers by 6pm for $5 each.  We also had a cheese curds appetizer for $10 (discounted from regular $12). I had my usual 3 beers for our catchup session, namely: - Moreover hazy IPA, 6.5% ABV - Mango Double Marbles Imperial IPA, 8.0% ABV - Appetizer hazy IPA, 5.5% ABV For food, I had their chicken tikka masala platter for $22.  My colleagues had a high steak sandwich with salad ($20), and an Italian Beef with fries ($18).  All were delicious.  There is now a 3% credit card fee.  Overall, still one of the best Chicagoland brewpubs around.

    I have been coming to Activate: Oak Brook since it opened and it is always a fun way to get your…read moreheart pumping, muscles activated, and brain juices flowing! I was here on Good Friday since I had the day off. I made my gaming partner go early because those times were discounted and boy, am I glad I did! By the time our 90 minutes were up, the place was getting PACKED. It made my heart happy to see so many families doing something active and together! Like I stated before, I have been coming since it opened, and I appreciated in this visit that the instruction screens were updated, some of the rooms that we not working on my previous version were up and running again, etc. I also appreciate an upgrade to their reward system! Before, they used to hand you items (a water bottle, a basketball, etc.), but now you earn coins and can "spend" them on the items of your choice. I prefer that so I can pick items that I will actually use! (The aforementioned water bottle and basketball were donated to my local charity shop.) I chose a personal bracelet that Activate uses to track your time and points while you are actively participating in the games. The facilities have bathrooms, access to clean drinking water, free lockers to protect your belongings, etc. This time, too, I wore my fitness tracker for kicks and giggles and I burned almost 500 calories in 90 minutes of fun. I wish they offered a summer pass or a monthly pass like other entertainment options in the suburbs.

    I've been to this location twice. We came here on NYE and were able to do the 60 min session. The…read more90 min session was not available but 60 min is more than enough to try all of the rooms at least once. After that, you can choose to go back to your favorite ones. There are free lockers to put your belongings as well as a free coat check. There are restrooms and a water fountain in the very back. There is a lounge area that is used for private parties but you can also just sit in there. You can watch other people play on the big screen. I recommend wearing casual or active attire because you'll get a workout for sure Each game room has a variety of levels and different types of games within that room. The cost per person is cheaper Mon - Thurs. $20.99 for 60 mins. $26.99 for 90 mins. Fri - Sun it's $26.99 for 60 mins and $38.99 for 90 mins. For Mondays and holidays, it's best to check back because the prices do change. I highly recommend booking on the website instead of blindly going there. The slots fill up fast. The games are short so you don't have to wait long to go into that room. The room types are arena, climb, grid, hoops, mega laser, hide, control, mega grid, strike, portals, and press. The staff were all friendly and helpful. There's no issue with finding parking.
