This is the definition of my childhood. I did EVERYTHING here. Hip hop when I was ReAlLy young. Karate after ThAt. I did four plays here. And did you know they have a CaMp here? - day camp!!! It’s called Cornflakes aewwwwww for weally wittle kids!!

Fitness Center has a great diversity of equipment, clean, well-maintained. New steam showers terrific. All ages, men/women, getting fit.

My husband and I got married at the Winnetka Community House. The staff was great and helped us through every step of the process. It was such a pleasure working with them and the end result was wonderful! We were supposed to have the ceremony outside, but it ended up raining and everyone did a great job moving everything inside and still making everything beautiful and memorable. We got great feedback from our guests as well. It was absolutely amazing!

This is a beautiful location. A nice room for a Wedding. The staff was incredible. Very friendly and attentive. The food was great, especially the potato bar. The outside area was nice, lots of trees and little nooks if you want to catch your breath. I highly recommend this place if you are looking for a place to have a party.

Saw a production at the Winnetka Community House. They serve the local communIty. What a lovely place! Gorgeous architecture, friendly staff and patrons, and an amazing theatre. The play was a charitable event by the Village Follies.This years was theme was Curses!!! Follied Again... villianous! What a wonderful time.

A wonderful part of the community. The North Shore Art League exhibits there, and there are many classes and events for the public occur there.

Beautiful location and neighborhood. Gorgeous outdoor garden area during the warmer seasons. Great facility overall!

Nice community house, clean, but it is a maze to go through and there didnt seem to be any signage to guide any one through it. The parking was limited. I parked about 1.5 blocks away on a side street.

The Winnetka Community House would normally get a 5 star rating. The Staff is excellent, courteous and very knowledgeable.However...Ever since last summer when the new Director took over, things have gone downhill. Previously, when you walked in the building, there was a happy vibe. Employees were happy to see you, treated you like you were family. Some staff members even knew our names and remembered our children! It was genuine and sincere. Now, when you walk into the building there seems to be a forced smile, forced cheerfulness. When I ask employees how things are, they just smile and say great with halfhearted enthusiasm. There is definitely a palpable sense of dread in the building.The previous Directors would be seen at multiple events, helping out the staff and various functions as needed. Always with a smile on their faces and willing to help out any guests as needed. This new Director cannot be seen at any event, nor willing to help to make sure everything goes smoothly. I guess he does not wish to be bothered with petty fundraising events?Furthermore, one of the biggest dance rooms in the building has been converted into an office space. Thus the feeling is more sterile and dare I say Corporate. This is a Community House, FOR THE COMMUNITY, not a Fortune 500 Corporation.Then I come to find out that the new Director also gave himself the title of President? President of what, the Community House? Really? How about worrying about the Community House as a whole, instead of worrying about himself first, then the Community House. On top of that, he calls himself a Deacon of a Church. Not sure which Church, but Ive never once heard a Priest or Deacon berate his staff with such venom and disrespect! Especially towards women! Dropping F-bombs in public to his staff shows the level of ignorance, incompetence and lack of true leadership skills needed to lead this great Community House towards the future.I sincerely hope that things change for the better, or this once great Community House will fail. That would truly be sad considering this Houses history and existence for over 100 years.

My husband and I got married at The Winnetka Community House and we are so happy we picked this venue. The Arches Garden was recently updated to now look a little more modern while still maintaining its charm. The staff were very friendly and assisted our caterers, decorators, wedding party and guest in whatever they needed. Our wedding day turned out to be very hot and humid. The only complaint I have is that the reception area (The Garden Room) did not have sufficient air conditioning and it was stuffy and uncomfortable, especially when everyone was dancing.

We had our wedding ceremony there, was AMAZING! Highly recommend for anyone getting married and wants an outside garden experience. Mark was fantastic, so would say you all should do it :)

Saw my great niece in 2 productions. And they both were great!!

Fun place for the little ones to the big ones. Has a lot of amenities.

I have been here for two great events - one celebration and one funeral. At both, I felt totally at home. One thing though, I never know where to enter. Lol. Great vibe and great landscaping. Id recommend it to anyone in the area.

Great atmosphere for all ages. A must place for kids

Very nice place for a wedding.

Easy to get to from Metra stop and buses (e.g., 213). Beautiful building. A variety a entities hold events here. Clean restrooms. I would suggest to management thst at least one person staff the information desk st all times.

A community treasure fully funded by private donations. Location of Childrens Theater, art classes, kids basketball, Vals List concerts, meeting spaces, luncheons, and excellent fitness center.

A great resource for kids and families!

An absolutely awesome place. They do a lot for the community and the people there are amazing!

Great place for many community activities such as dancing and acting lessons, rumage sales and childrens nursery.

Wonderfully maintained vintage building. Great for parties, events, business meetings. Helpful, knowledgeable staff and great facilities. Have been to work seminars, kids parties, adult luncheons here and they were all well managed.

Saw the Winnetka Community theater production of A Christmas Carol. Very good. The guy who played Scrooge was outstanding.

Great place for winnetka families and residents

Amazing mission work helping others.

There are lots of great activities here. We love the Childrens Theatre.

This is an awesome place. It gives so much back to the community.

We go for the annual rummage sale. Fun outing, always find a treasure our two and end the adventure with deep dish pizza.

Friendly staff, good equipment, nice place to start or end your day .

Great place to go and visit with friends. Only hard concern is the parking which is few.

Great sales every six months.

Great old school Community House. Check out pictures on the wall in the Lobby.

I had a very unpleasant experience today at the Red Cross donation site at Winnetka Community House.It was not easy to find the room once inside the community center. There were no signs or directions posted anywhere. Then, once I found the Red Cross room, everyone I talked with, (especially the lady apparently in-charged in the Red Cross) in the room was far from being polite.The event was very poorly planned, in my opinion. People at the site need to be trained how to greet donors and explain them the waiting procedure in a polite manner. Also, it helps to hear the words Good Morning and Please.Very disappointed!!!This review is for the Red Cross, however, Winnetka Community House must demand politeness and good planning from every organization using the center.

(Just a recent Hassle-free Driveway Turnaround...)

Love this gracious old place. Love the newer facilities too.

Good food and friendly servers for Rotary Club of Winnetka Northbrook meeting
