Schaumburg is a little city of its own. There's so much to do and see here that you should definitely make your way out here!

Shaw's Crab House

Restaurant

the place
If you are looking for a nice seafood restaurant, this is a good choice! It's very sophisticated dining and a very elegant place to have a good dinner. Take your family or even take your significant other. Either way you will have fun.

When I went last time, my party arrived very close to closing time (around 10pm) and so we were only able to get a table in the bar. But that was no problem for us and the service here was just as great. Their menu is small, but has all the essential seafood options on it (including sushi). I had their shrimp platter, which came with some great garlic grilled shrimp, fried shrimp, and coconut shrimp. The shrimp were huge and really delicious. The coleslaw that came with my meal was the only thing I did not like because it was bland and dry.

Overall, it was a great experience to go here but make sure to be on a big spending budget before you go here!

Woodfield Mall

Activity

The outside of the mall
Do you like to shop? Well then, Woodfield is one place you should definitely check out. Woodfield Mall is huge and filled with so many neat stores. They have your usual stores plus a lot of cool ones, like the build a bear shop and a huge candy shop. You can easily spend a few hours going through this mall and all the great stores.

There are also a lot of places to eat here. Check out some of my favorites: Rainforest Cafe, Cheesecake Factory, PF Changs, etc.

This is one place that is fun for the entire family—especially the shoppers in the family.

An Outside View of the Library
This is a wonderful library. It has been newly built and it is so big. There is something for everyone in this library. It has a HUGE selection of not only books but also audio cds and DVDs. There are separate computer rooms for adults and children. It is a great place to go and study as well -- they have private rooms where you can study and also many computers are available for use. My favorite part of this library is the big room with the fireplace. It is the prefect place to go in the wintertime. Just pick up a hot drink from the cafe inside the library and cuddle up on one of their comfy sofas and enjoy a good book!
