Jackie Mann: "The free events here in the summer are awesome, although trying to enjoy the park otherwise can be hard during tourist season. The beat time is fall or spring early in the morning- no one's there!"
Chicago Tribune: "The shop aims its crosshairs at our retro-aesthetic pleasure center and hits the bullseye, with offerings like Bing Crosberry—custard mixed with raspberries, cherries, cheesecake and graham crackers."
Redeye Chicago: "Queen Mary has recently opened their outdoor patio seating. The bar’s classy cocktails are fit for spring with ingredients like passion fruit-ginger syrup, peach bitters and jalapeño tincture."
Evelyn Samayoa-Toth: "Wow. The tasting room is top notch. Lots of great beers & hard liquor to choose from. Looks like it would be great to rent for a party."
John Broccardo: "Miniature throne rooms are my favorite! A collection of interiors through the ages. It's a must see. Go right to the basement. It's under the grand staircase in the main entrance. First place I go!"
T Callahan: "Sound is solid and congestion is not an issue. Great new Chicago venue with excellent dinner and drink options w/ Dusek's and Punch House right there as well."
Shelley MacGregor: "Arrive early to find street parking if you're coming by car. Our show was general admission - we were there an hour early when doors opened - we got front row seats! There's a bar & wait staff, too!"
Margot Chapman: "Any season of the year, the park is beautiful & there are lots of things to do: from The Zoo, The Conservatory, to food choices, great place to walk, jog, take kids, hang out and see nature all year"
Sam Molter: "Better skyline views and less tourists than the more central Millennium Park and Grant Park. Go here for a nice stroll along the big lake."
B. Renee Mitchell: "This is a great place for a very intense workout! All the instructors are great and they'll even stay by your side the entire length of your first class to make sure you are doing your moves correctly"
Kate Hatlak: "Great way to get a full-body workout and have fun at the same time! Instructors are all high-energy, and they take the time to get to know you. Classes are an hour: 15 min cardio then 45 of bag work."
