Personally, I love mini golf. I hope my kids love it too. I'm pretty sure I won when we played here. I get really competitive. This place is great though because it's a friendly, and kid friendly, atmosphere with lots of fun. The holes are appealing and entertaining. Fun for the whole family!

Although I remember the skating to be on the "not so bad" side of the price scale, I could be off on my memory. There are tons of shops around the center, but my favorite part was the iceskating. My first experience with iceskating was here at Rockefeller Center. It was the coolest thing I got to do in my less than 24 hours stay there. It's something that you will love to tell your friends that you've done when you see the skating rink on TV all the time!

The only reason I say "Good, but not great" is because small kids may be easily spooked and may not be into the hype of all that goes on. Every ride and show is loud and more elementary and older age. And, if your kids don't like rides, well this is obviously not the place for you anyway. The Jurassic Park ride is a must. If you and your kids are up for it then I say go!

I've a huge fan of Downtown Disney! It doesn't cost anything to visit, just to shop. The kids can get their picture taken with a bunch of different disney statues and lifesize lego men. There's tons of great places to eat, some more expensive than others, but they're all so cool and interactive! There's usually live music too. The only not as good thing is that you have to do a lot of walking to see the whole strip, but big deal!

This is the nicest Aquarium I've ever been to. I went in high school for an all day field trip and it was so wonderful. The tanks are huge and full of interesting creatures. There are usually shows that you can sit and watch; they're usually pretty interactive. I highly recommend visiting here is you're in Chicago and have time.
