Let’s take a look at what Skokie visitors voted as the best five “things to do” in the village.
- Illinois Holocaust Museum & Education Center: Reviewer from Wisconsin states: “I have done a lot of personal study of the Holocaust, but I learned new things on this visit. Wonderful architectural tour...learned things I would not have been able to notice myself. Highly recommend the survivor talk. Staff and volunteers were very helpful.”
- Adagio Teas: Reviewer from Hoffman Estates states: “We did a tea tasting there today and had a lovely time. We were able to pick 3 teas that were steeped for us as we waited and were told amazing facts about different teas, as well as herbal blends, The chocolate with tea blends acted as a "palate cleanser" between one course and tea infused tea biscuits between the other.”
- Westfield Old Orchard Center: Reviewer from Chicago states: “Been coming to this mall since my daughter was born they have everything you need here.”
- North Shore Center for the Performing Arts: Reviewer from Chicago states: “This theatre was great. Seats are nice size, not as cramped as some places. Venue has an almost intimate feel to it, views of stage are unobstructed throughout. Good sound.”
- Schaefer’s Wines and Liquors: Reviewer from Evanston states: “Great deals. Stock up for 6 months with $20 bottles for $10 or less. And easy to taste and get help to your car.”
