The Patio Theater is a historic music venue and movie theater located on the northwest side of Chicago. Built in 1927, it is the only movie palace from its era that still serves the community today. The Patio Theater has been lovingly restored and decorated in the grand tradition, making it an iconic institution in Chicago. The theater offers a memorable movie experience with a giant screen, simulated blue sky, flickering stars, moving clouds, and a state-of-the-art sound system featuring Dolby SR and JBL speakers. The grand neo-Pompeian lobby has also been restored to its original elegance, welcoming visitors to an open space with a seating capacity of 1000-the most giant single screen in Chicagoland. Enjoy your favorite movies at popular prices while experiencing the magic of the Patio Theater.

If you want to escape from the hustle and bustle of the city, the Judy Istock Butterfly Haven is a perfect place to visit. Here, you can get up close and personal with over 40 exotic, free-flying butterflies and several stunning bird species from the Southern Hemisphere. The greenhouse, which spans 2,700 square feet, features serene pools of water, flowers, tropical trees, and over 1,000 butterflies, giving you the feeling of being in summer all year round. If you're interested in witnessing the life cycle of a butterfly from caterpillar to chrysalis to the very first flight, you should take advantage of the First Flight Butterfly Release. Moreover, they offer weekly Butterfly Haven Yoga sessions if you want to spend more time in the Butterfly Haven.
