Being an adult in any suburban neighborhood can be tough – there are events for families, attractions for kids, but what about the unique activities for adults? Going to the same bar can get old, and heading downtown can be expensive and turn into an all-night trip. And sometimes you just want a child-free zone to get away from your kids or other people’s kids. If you think you’ve exhausted all your options, check out some of these fun things to do in Schaumburg for adults.
1. Level 257
Inspired by the classic game Pac-Man, Level 257 is an adult gaming entertainment center. Great for friends and couples, Level 257 has games, bowling, drinks, and food in a fun atmosphere. To separate itself from other kid arcades, Level 257 has many craft beers, a full-service bar, live late night music, and a mimosa brunch special. On their blog, they boast frequent deals like free bowling, discount nights, and cheap appetizers, so be sure to check it regularly. While kids are welcome, a trip after most kids are asleep will find a great spot for adults and couples to spend a late night in Schaumburg.
2. Dinner Detective Murder Mystery Show
Have you ever wanted to be a detective and help solve a gruesome murder? Well, look no further than the Murder Mystery Show!
