The New American Theater is a great place for quality entertainment. The actors are always seasoned and are wonderfully amusing. During the intermission, they served sweet treats, drinks, and wine an made the atmosphere so inviting! I felt like I knew everyone in the room because the staff was so friendly and set a great tenor. After the show was over, they had a time of question and answer where the audience was allowed to question the actors. It was a great idea, and it really made the audience feel like they were a part of the show. Great entertainment for the price!

The Golf Shack is one of the best Golf Retail Stores in the city. It has an extremely large selection of the best products out there, as well as a friendly staff. The great thing about the Golf Shack is after you purchase something you can take it straight to the driving range out back!

Showplace 16 is in my opinion the best movie theater in town. It is extremely nice and always have to the newest releases showing. A couple bad thing's is because of its great atmosphere it can tend to get pretty packed. It is pretty high priced as well. It is a fairly safe place if you are thinking about dropping your kids off as well.

I go to this movie theatre often, the employees are very friendly, they will refill your popcorn 3 times. Good service. Good place to take a family if you do not have a lot of money to spend, but want to see family friendly movies overall or, if you want to spend time with your sweetie, but are on a tight budget. They have beefed up security, they clean after every showing and after the last movie. The seating is comfortable. It may not be as posh as some, but still a good place to go. I recommend it.

The Coronado Theatre has been many things in its long life. My father used to tell me about seeing live music and vaudeville shows there in his youth. I remember seeing Saturday matinee movies there as a child, and now it has been restored to its full glory and serves as a site for traveling theatre productions. The ceiling is awesome and the theatre reminds us all of how seriously we used to take our entertainment. Enjoy this theatre while you can.

There are multiple events that are held at the Rockford Metro Center. There's the Rockford Ice Hogs hockey team, the Rockford Lightning CBA basketball team, and soon to be a UIF indoor football league team. I personally enjoy going to Ice Hog games, as live hockey is a great experience and the prices were very fair. The stadium holds quite a few people, around 10,000 depending on the event. It also often hosts WWE wrestling events. If you're looking for entertainment, there's a good chance you'll find something exciting at the Metro Center.

Anderson Gardens is one of Rockford's most valued attractions, drawing gardening enthusiasts from all over the country. This peaceful setting, complete with tea house, is beloved by gardeners, families, and anyone looking for relaxation in a beautiful setting. Anderson Gardens continues to grow and improve; new this year is a Japanese gate made by craftsmen flown in from Japan who built it in the traditional manner (without the benefit of power tools). An exceptional site, fit for nature lovers young and old.

The new stadium is open and its quite nice! We've been to two games and enjoyed them both. Even our little kids liked it and sat still...(while eating). There are activities for kids, you pay extra. Clean, all the seats are good. The only downside is the entrance/exit. Only one and it gets a bit crowded.

Rockford could use more indie-focused movie houses. Colonia Village Cinema is the only place in town to see anything beyond the blockbuser fare they push at all the othe cineplexes in town. A little shabby around the edges, it has the movies that I and my friends want to see. This is truly the one movie theatre in town we would be lost without.

This is a wonderful home-town activity that adults and kids alike will love. We went this summer and brought snacks and just enjoyed the scenery. There is a guide that tells some corny jokes, but you do learn a lot about Rockford and its just an easy family activity that's inexpensive!
