Thanks so much for this list of things to do! Makes it so easy to search daily!
X factor in Mundelein was listed today for toddler time. It was not open and looked very run down.
Jamie I’m very sorry about that, we do our best to provide accurate information. I have reached out to X Factor to confirm their hours. - Melissa
Jamie we did reach out to them and they said the days and hours we have are correct. I’m sorry you experienced that, I would give the facility a call.
