    Stayed in the area for a couple weeks and we were looking for some things to do. Found Lake Arlington and decided to take a look. There is a very nice asphalt path for walking and riding that goes around the entire lake. It is well maintained and has plenty of benches to sit on if you get tired or just want to sit and enjoy the view. It is not a large lake and only a few activities are allowed. They do rent some small boats. There is a snack shop and the parking is free. There is very little shade so be careful on hot day. I am sure we will go back when we are in the area again.

    Excellent venue, staff and location. The entertainment (The Legend of Georgia McBride) was high quality and very enjoyable. Be sure to go and see any production at the Metropolis.

    The Muller and Banta Houses, which are located adjacent to one another on the grounds of the Arlington Heights Historical Museum in Arlington Heights, Illinois, represent life of middle class families during the 1880-1900 period. The Muller House, at 500 North Vail Avenue, was built in 1882 for the family of F.W. Muller and his soda pop business, which he operated out of his basement. It was one of the first commercial establishments in Arlington Heights and was part of the city's early transition from a rural settlement to a large suburb of Chicago. An exhibit provides the history of the Arlington Club soda that Muller introduced in 1872. After touring the museum, visitors can purchase four-packs of Arlington Club soda in the gift shop. The house also is an uncommon blend of architectural styles with Victorian and Green Revival designs. Prominent among the house's middle class features is its woodwork, which includes a carved oak staircase. The house was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1979. Next door, at 514 North Vail Avenue, is the Nathaniel Moore Banta House, an Arts and Crafts residence that was built in 1908 and was the first architect-designed house in Arlington Heights. Today, it is used to display and store the Martha Mills doll collection of more than 1,000 dolls and the Lorraine Korenthal Dollhouse Collection. The house was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1998.

    Took teenage daughters and it was a fun, safe way for them to have fun with some out of town cousins.
