Roze Anne: This was most interesting and informative blacksmith tour that we have ever been on. Rich was so friendly taking the time to show us in detail how a hook was made. Would definitely recommend and don’t be shy to ask any questions! All the blacksmiths were extremely knowledgeable and friendly.
Kris Escalante: The Galena Center for the Arts is an integral part of the Galena community giving the residents and tourists s chance to check out the frequent art shows (there are new shows every few months) and to attend a small playhouse to view interesting performances. There is a gift shop with beautiful pieces and art for sale that is displayed on the walls of the museum. I love the Broad Ideas program that happens yearly and is such a female positive and overall empowering program.
S M: Facility was easy to get to, new and clean. Everyone was very friendly and professional. The equipment was well maintained and there was a thorough safety explanation. Aiden took us on the course, we were able to go on whatever rope lines we felt like. Highly recommend!
J. V. Rychman: What a surprise. This is a tourist town. When I walked in I thought it was a store with neat stuff.....but no....it is a museum with exhibits on tour.
I have no idea what they will have when you stop in.
Tell them Joe sent you...they will say Joe who...thats me...
Carolyn Chiu: We really enjoyed visiting this park. The play area has great climbing opportunities, along with an outdoor music area and a stone "waterfall/creek" and splash pad. The butterfly house was a beautiful and fun experience and the staff was very kind. There are trails, through the wild flowers and pond.
N Duncan: Typically, on a warm sunny summer afternoon, this park, sitting on the banks of the Fox River, is a lovely spot for various recreational activities… however, this park has among the worst flooding out of any park along the Fox River, especially if torrential rainstorms have been frequently occurring over a period of many weeks. That happened to be the case during my most recent visit, where half of Island park was underwater… literally! I was surprised that this place was still open to the public, and it was rather crowded that day.
Be the Change: I went here to be more in touch with nature. Bottom line, nature equals happiness and this place is pure joy. There were a good amount of people there who had the same mentality. Ironically, there was an Airedale terrier meet with 30 dogs there for double the joy. Go check this place out!!!
