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.

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!

More
Tinker Swiss Cottage is a charming house, dating back to 1865. It's a favorite jaunt for local school groups, so try and pick a day when you can look at things without it seeming like a madhouse. This charming house offers so many 19th century treasures and insights into life back then. From mundane chores like ironing to entertaining in the parquet-floored parlor to the production downstairs, there is much to charm you. They maintain a turn-of-the-century garden out back, and a favorite time to visit for everyone is the summertime ice cream social. Don't overlook this museum, even if you saw it back in 4th grade, there's always something new to discover.

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!

This place is very easy to find...they serve pretty decent drinks and the girls were pretty average. It's a bikini bar so the girls don't take anything off. However, once you go down into VIP it's a whole different ball game. $10 cover for VIP and the lap dances are $20 a piece (lasts 1 song per). If you lay down the green, you'll be in for a treat. I went on a Sat and Sun....Sat was the best. Your best bet if you go would be to grab a few drinks at the bar, and alternate back to the VIP every 20-30 minutes for as long as the money lasts.
Pros: VIP is off the chain...great drinks
Cons: bikini bar

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.

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.

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.
