This theatre is about thirty minutes from home but the whole family prefers to drive to this one. This theatre has many movies available to choose from and has many showings in one day. I particularly like to go for the matinee because the price is cheaper. It is the cleanest theatre around compared to most. This theatre can get pretty crowded but the line to purchase tickets move fast because they have multiple cashiers working. If you don't want to wait in the line, they also have kiosks where you can purchase your tickets with a credit card and walk right in. No line = no waiting! They also have stadium seating and the arm rests go up so you can sit more comfortably next to your sweetie. I hope you enjoy this theatre as much as our family does. Also, sign up for their weekly email newsletter and you will receive some type of monthly coupon. Maybe a free drink, popcorn or movie.

This store is a haven for educators and parents. It has all the supplies and books teachers need to fill their classroom. Also they have incentive charts and prizes. Glue guns,markers, you name it. Even toys! A wealth of materials to help teachers keep their classrooms exciting and inviting. Their prices are not cheap, yet not to expensive either. Also schools and other organizations can set up an account so employees shop and charge it to their account.

a really neat mini-golf course and batting cages. They have slow softball and slow, medium and fast hardballs. They will provide batting helmets and bats if you don't have them. If you're going to bat for a while, then you should get some batting gloves on your own.
You can work up a nice sweat in the batting cage in a fairly short amount of time.
I'll go there a couple of times a month during the summer.

This is a great facility with more than one stage so mulitple plays/acts can perform during the same time period. They bring in acts from around the country and I've really enjoyed seeing them. They had a great tap artist, and the Skokie Symphony plays here, too. Tickets can get pricey, but really you will not be let down by performances at this location. Lots of parking available in parking garage.

They are well stocked on reeds and other supplies, and have a nice, cost-competitive supply of new and used musical instruments. They are the best choice for band instrument rentals in the North Shore area, becuase they will allow you to use your rental equity toward anything they sell.
I have had my bass clarinet, clarinet, and several saxophones repaired there, always competently.
I recommend them high;y

This is a really great place to enroll for ballet classes for young children. The instructors here are wonderful. They are dedicated and really work with students. My little cousin took classes here and I went to one of her sessions -- I was amazed with the attention she got and the great instruction she recieved. They have small class sizes and a great staff that makes this place not only really good instructionally, but its lots of fun too!

This eclectic mix of furnishings, housewares, and furniture will remind you of Pottery Barn with a slightly funky approach. They have some great sales where you can pick up great gifts (think frames, candlestick holders, pillows, dishes). I got some great plates with an Eiffel Tower design here, small beaded lampshades, and even a purse made of bamboo. Its a great change from the typical mall stores. This is a great place to buy a wedding gift that will stand head-and-shoulders above the rest of the crowd.

More
This theater will meet your expectations in terms of quality. The faciltiy was very clean, the staff friendly and helpful and overall very comfy and pleasant to be at. But, you pay for those amenities. It costs at least a buck or two more than other non-brand-name cinemas in the area. So, you vote with your pocketbook. How important are those qualities to you?

This location, on Main street near the police station, has a wide variety of items for homeschoolers - very high quality. Also they have items for preschools - like dolls, teaching sets. They also have a lot of junky toys like those you would use for grab bag gifts or giveaways at a Vacation Bible School or carnival. Prices are reasonable.

This theatre is great because you can meet at a central location and grab a bite to eat with your friends or family before catching a show. Sometimes parking gets a little crazy over the weekends but it's nice to be able to eat, watch a movie, and go shopping all in one. They don't take student discounts at this theatre.
