Amusement center
👍👍 Had a great experience. Flew the 737 sim for an hour. It is a very realistic flight experience. I do have a private pilots license and the instructor moved through things at a good pace so I had ample flight time. I chose the full experience including startup and running through the checklist. My wi...

👍👍 Bar 771 is the Gurnee American Legion. It's open to the public, drink prices are probably the most inexpensive in Gurnee. It's geared toward the military and very friendly. 6th

👍👍 It was beautiful, I felt like it was longer than the normal drive through shows. I kind of wish they would have had more open inside the park like they did in 2021.

👍👍 It's a family parish. It's great! The music ministry is well-rehearsed and does an excellent job. The Mass is reverent. Parents *do* supervise their toddlers. Some people expect the little folks to behave as if they are adults. Guess what? The majority of them are baptized and *have the right* to be...

👍👍 A hidden gem! The crispy and flavorful fried chicken stole the show, but what truly impressed me were the garlic mashed potatoes and honey butter biscuits. I have never had chicken and sides this good from chicken spot. Also, the friendly staff made the dining experience even more delightful.
