Theres a lot of history and things to see here. Definitely check out the murals especially if youre a fan of Orson Welles or the groundhogs day movie. The opera house is worth checking out as well.

The storied Woodstock Square is a beautiful centerpiece to a decent town. The green space is well-kept, and the gazebo is used regularly. Nice shops, restaurants, and bars are nearby to explore. The farmers market, live concerts, and other events are very popular. Quaint without being cloying, the biggest negative of the Square is the higher number of empty storefronts. Overall, a great piece of Americana.

I go here often. In the summer time just being outside. With not just locals but people who come from miles away. Many shops to shop in. Many places to eat. Check out the lights during Christmas, always displayed beautifully.

Love the new mural behind the theater, I almost missed it. Really cool.

I love the Woodstock square. It has so many historic sites and quaint shops to shop at. Such a gem of a community so beautiful placed in the heart of Woodstock.

Nice area. I never realized groundhog day was filmed there. A public bathroom would be nice

I love the farmers market. There is always such a lovely assortment of fresh produce and small business goods. Its a wonderful way to start the morning.

So many quaint shops to visit. A fun few hours before or after a breakfast or lunch at the Double Yolk Cafe. Farmers market Saturdays 8a-1p.

A great place to hang out at all times of the day. I love all the history that this place has. Has a little bit of everything. Restaurants, shopping, bakery, coffee shop, and places to meet up and socialize. There are many events in the square throughout the whole year. Food trucks, live music, movie theater, and even functions surrounding the different seasons and holidays. And did I mention all the history? Lol, a great place for anyone to visit.

The Square has lots of fun things to do and little shops to browse, its always clean and its a fun area to spend some time in!.

Saturday fall farmers market. Umlands gouda cheese snacks and piscasaw gardens white cheddar popcorn. 45 minutes from home....but....so worth the trip. Best gouda snack and BEST white cheddar popcorn ever!

I met the love of my life at the Opera House 40 years ago... A Fiddler on the Roof..sounds crazy no, but in our little village...

Is beautiful streets all around square Nice

Its cute, but no pets allowed and thats almost the only patch of grass. Worth checking out though.

Visited today and last night for the first time to celebrate Groundhog Day. The people here are wonderful! We had so much fun exploring Woodstock Square and participating in Groundhog Day festivities! We met some really fun people, including Stephen Tobolowsky, who starred in the movie, which we had a chance to watch as part of Groundhog Day festivities, as well as touring places like the Opera House and the Moose Lodge, which normally are not open to the public. We had a great time!

The Saturdsy mornings spent in Woodstock Square always exceed expectations! We stock up for the week with fresh produce, great breads, cheeses, farm-fresh eggs and delicious desserts and some beautiful flowers to liven the table.

Cool little town with lots of art, coffee, and even an old world Swiss bakery. It is easy to see why it was chosen to depict a rural town which grows on you after reliving Groundhog day over and over in the classic movie. Well be coming back for the Groundhog festival in Feb.

Loved the ambiance, cant wait for the construction to be over. Shops closed a little too early. DC Cobbs was excellent!!

Charming Victorian type setting. Beautiful park-like shopping and meetup place. Everyone so relaxed and friendly.

Dont live in the area, but enjoyed this place for lunch! Best cauliflower crust pizza Ive had at any previous restaurant!

Ground Hog Day!! Great through back to a different time town square

It was nice. Went for the farmers market. Was small for a Tuesday. Will try again on a Saturday. But the kids enjoyed running around a bit, so that was nice.

Saw the Farmers Market earlier in the week, and tonight was music in the square. Brought our own lawn chairs and snacks... and the music went on until the fireflies came out. Nice family event! The music genres vary.

Getting together with friends on the square in the park is a great way to start the day. Very peaceful.

So relaxing to sit in the square and eat a sandwich from the sandwich shop on Main Street

Cool little town square n dig the fact ground hog day / Bill Murry thing.

Some empty shops, which is sad. But love to walk the square and the amazing farmers market

Great place to spend part of your day enjoying the good atmosphere

Love the shops on The Square, and iI depend upon them for unique gifts.

My wife and I came to visit this spot a few years ago, the film Groundhog Day brought us here. Very nice town, relax, and friendly people. I recommend this place to visit!

Friendly people and the just the old town atmosphere with all the little shops made the evening just very welcoming. Especially the Christmas tree display at the Woodstock Opera House.

Very nice place, the woodstock theater is awesome. The Opera House is pretty cool too

A vibrant and historic downtown with several new and interesting Main Street type businesses... The Yoga Lounge and Ethereal chocolates/cafe make for a good outing. Credit is due to the City for maintaining beautifully the historic brick streets, love to hear the sound as cars drive over the bricks!

Always fun... Especially when the farmers market is open!!

Its a nice place to hangout. Friendly people and nice and quiet

Its a good place to be and relax.

It was nice to be out side again with other people. There was also a nice group of vendors available.

Beautiful stores, beautiful square. Would go here again.

Beautiful, quaint Woodstock town square is like stepping back in time! The shops and people are small town friendly. The old bricks around the square, the Opera House, etc... make this picturesque town a must see and visit. The historic buildings have been nicely restored and add to this one of a kind small town.

Visiting the square is always fun. But during Christmas time its absolutely beautiful. All the lights that are put up really gets the Christmas spirit going. The square is beautiful all year and a fantastic place to shop and eat or get coffee.

The square is awesome! There are a ton of local little places to enjoy, you can easily spend the day just wandering or messing around. Everything is very well maintained and beautiful. You could also go see a show at the Opera House. There are lots of places to eat or get coffee or candy. There is also frozen yogurt and two bakerys! There are also a lot of little gift shops and a place to get your nails done.

This is our town Square, we love it and wouldnt hve it any other way.

Will always come back to this town again and again and again...

Very nice decorations for Christmas thank you for everyone that had involvement in that and the maintenance of the square from season to season

Nice place to walk around.

Well its like a ghost town. Shop closed no kids barely people there.

Nice place to slow the daily tempo. Cobble stones to drive on. A park in the center. Interesting stores. Old style movie theater. Opera house.

The heart of McHenry County

They have an amazing farmers market. The square is a fun place to walk around and browse all the shops and cafes. It is absolutely beautiful. I highly recommend checking it out. Great place to spend a morning or afternoon with activities for kids and adults. Also part of the movie Groundhogs day was filmed around there. It is by far my favorite small town to wander around in, in that area. I strongly recommend that you check it out especially the farmers market. It is a fantastic place.

The square is worth a visit. Room for improvement exists, but what it offers is wonderful. My recommendation: take a walk along the cobblestone streets, view the Opera House, and Old Courthouse. Enjoy the independent shops and restaurants along the way.

Great bands every Sunday from 5 - 7

Yes, because of the ! It was great to see all of the shooting locations!

Woodstock Square is a beautiful, and very peaceful experience. At Christmas time, its like a Hallmark movie setting! In the summer, its a fun place to go for a walk or for coffee.

We love Woodstock!! Ive been there twice and my husband has been 4 times. We definitely plan on returning! Everyone is always so nice!

I think this area is really cool. It seems to me they really care about the space looking nice and clean. The square has many of the things you would want- an ice cream shop, good coffee shop, restaurants of different types, book store. It also has events on the weekends like live music and farmers markets. Im a fan.

The Woodstock square is an amazing dedication to all veterans who served are country. The square has three plaques and a monument dedicated to all veterans, Right across the street theres even a VFW club/cafe.

This is a very nice area to see. If you are a fan of the movie Groundhogs Day then you should know that this is where much of the movie was filmed. The scenes where he kept doing his thing was filmed in the Square. A great time to go here is when they have their Christmas fest. Lights are placed all around the square and towards the evening they are all turned on. It is very nice indeed. During the summer they have a classic car show. All around the square and even in the side streets classic cars are displayed. It is another thing that is fun to see and while you are there go and check out the food places. They are very nice and many items are reasonable in price.

Awesome choices of produce and breads, pastries

Good food, great folks,reasonable on prices also decent on portions

Nice but no place to park

A cool little park in the heart of the famous Woodstock square. Very cool for walking around shopping and to see the various filming spots for the movie groundhogs day especially if you go around February 2nd the town is celebrating with activities and showing of the movie in the theater.

Absolutely love the weekly farmers market!

Woodstock Farmers Market is a wonderful place to shop.

I really like how Woodstock cares for this area. Its always nicely lit during the holidays. Every weekend just about theres something going on. I really enjoy spending time here. Even if its just walking around.

A different American village. Friendly and beautiful. There is a fresh products market. And the lighting after thanksgiving is spectacular

Awesome place!

Nice place to walk around

It is very quaint and gives one a sense of history.

Great place for a family event like Ground Hog Day again and again

Plenty to do and see in the square with plenty of food spots, shops and theaters. Lighting of the christmas lights is fun to see during the holidays.

Woodstock square is a really fun place to grab a bite to eat and walk around. A lot of the smaller shops are not always open at convenient times. Half the places are closed if you want to walk around after dinner. However, it is always easy to find good food around here.

You can take Metra where it lets you off less than a block from the square then enjoy ALL the stores in & around the sq. What a wonderful, enjoyable town with lots of bars & grills.

Went here to meet a family friend for breakfast walked the square and all the shops fun to spend the day out here

I was in my car today sooo, I love to hear the sound of the cobblestone under the car. To me, its wonderful. Beautiful church bells.. just an amazing day

A delightful little square with fun, quirky shops. Courthouse tour and Opera House tour are free informative and fun -- definitely check it out. Catch the Farmers market too if you can -- tomatoes, jams, soaps, birdhouses,, and more. In autumn -- apple cider doughnuts !

Cobblestone streets and holiday lights are very quaint. Its a beautiful place to take photos.

Love walking around the Woodstock Square. Decided to take my drone out last time and capture this cool top down view.

Very nostalgic. There are multiple places to eat.I was there for Groundhog Day

Beautiful, historical town filled with quaint shops and unique restaurants and bars with music

Lots of unique stores and nice restaurants. Two used book stores were great!

He work very good

So quaint! Awesome architecture and I felt like I was walking back in time! Loved it!

Beautiful and has great farmers markets.

Here to see Woodstock Willy. Family has been meaning to do this for years and we had a blast.

Love this town. Quaint and beautiful. Go to the coffee shop and bookstore

Its a great place to visit. I really enjoy the older buildings.

Awesome farmers market on the historic square with live music .

I stopped into a few places and everyone was so welcoming and friendly.

Its super scenic but not may fun shops sadly.

Out for a drive on Christmas Day! So Beautiful!

Great farmers market!

Its small but its a strong city. Its absolutely beautiful in the holiday season! The Square is stunning!

There is nothing worth buying here. Most stores are closed to general public. Farmers market on Saturday has a nice variety of veggies, fruit, cheese, breads and gourmet foods. The park and music are nice. Antique shopping is by appointment only. No way to hook a bargain.

Great historically area with lots of stores plus it being the great place where groundhog day was filmed

REALLY SO BEAUTIFUL MUST SEE IT IN PERSON PICTURES DONT DO IT JUSTICE

The farmers market is always a good time.

Farmers market is great!

Great farmers market on a quaint town square. Lots of cool little shops but I loved the book store the most.

Beautiful and quaint town square.

Special place to spend a Christmas night; very cozy place; ideal to spend a family time, enjoy the central park; and all the Christmas lighting they created for the enjoyment of tourists; the whole musicalized area, parking around; A magical and simply beautiful place.
