Every city has unique attractions that offer new experiences for students and families alike. Spring break this year goes from March 8 through March 16 and is the perfect time to spend an entire day at one or more of the hidden gems listed below!

Chicago

The Comedy Sportz Theater

If you are looking for an interactive 90 minute improv show, the Comedy Sportz Theater is the place to be. This show relies on the audience to determine what is done on stage between the two teams. During the second half, volunteers are called to the stage to participate. At the end of the show, one team wins based on audience preference.

929 W Belmont Ave. (773) 549-8080
Thursdays at 8 p.m. $22
Friday at 8 p.m. $24 and 10 p.m. $22
Saturday at 6 and 10 p.m. $22 and 8 p.m. $24

Room Escape Adventures

This is another interactive theater with its own twists. Picture yourself trapped in a room with 11 other people and only 60 minutes to escape before the zombie gets you. Can you make it out by finding clues hidden in the room and solving puzzles with only your teammates for help?

If you are caught, you are sidelined for the rest of the game, but you can still talk to your teammates. Test your skills in this unique experience.

Fine Arts Building: 410 S. Michigan Ave., Room #632
Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday: 6:30 and 8:30 p.m.
