Test Your Problem-Solving Skills at an Escape Room
Both Odyssey Escape Game and Mastermind Escape Games are great options to test your problem-solving skills. Participants can reserve a themed, private room of their choice and will be given a mission to search for clues, solve puzzles, and ultimately free the group from the room.

Not only is this a great way to exercise the brain, but it’s also a whole lot of fun!
Be Treated Like Royalty at Medieval Times

Hit The “Slope” at Meineke Park
Schaumburg’s Meineke Park is home to the beloved sled hill where residents and visitors flock to ride down the slope. What makes this hill so popular?

The Schaumburg Park District said it best: You’re never too old to go sledding down Meineke Park Sled Hill! Don’t forget to bring a sled or tube, bundle up and always use caution while sledding down the hill.
