Reviews of The Queen's Ball: A Bridgerton Experience Chicago

Lovice Brinkman

The experience was good. I was chosen first to bow to the Queen.😱 However, people pay a lot of money, therefore the venue should have air conditioning, especially when it's over 90° outside. Nevertheless, the people were extremely nice and kind. Everyone looked so beautiful, I'm so glad I went.👑💗 …

This was amazing! The information encourages you to dress well and I recommend it so much! This was like prom, but for people you actually connect with who understand you. Everyone was dressed to the nines from Venetian masks to men in top hats. It was the perfect end to the night. The performers were amazing and the event was beautiful! I'd go again!

Telayne Keith

What an experience. As a fan of the show, but generally a fan of theatre and costume this was an amazing indulgence. From the sets and the cast members who were fully immersed in their characters to the beautiful dancers and fun guests we were carried away to fantastic night. Everyone was there to enjoy themselves and to see the effort and care they put into their costumes was awesome. If you are there to take pictures with all of the photo ops, I encourage you to arrive early or use the VIP early access to get your money's worth. Once the event is over you are not able to return to take more photos in the main space. So the pacing and timing could be better or just make the event a liiiiiitle longer. Like 30 minutes and it would've felt less rushed. Bring something to wipe your face with because it did get pretty toasty in there. I would definitely go to this and similar experiences again and look forward to what other immersive experiences are to come.

this was so fun!! I wasn't sure what it would be like, since some pop up experiences are only photo opportunities, but it was so interactive and the audience got to dance a LOT. The live music and the dancers were great, and it was so fun learning the dances and getting to interact with the performers. Every single person was dressed up (some were wearing like black tie gowns while others were wearing full hoop skirts, or full on regency dress). 10/10 would recommend.

Oscar Daniel Luna

The Bridgerton crew was amazing. All the actors, musicians, and crew were incredible. Furthermore, almost all the people dressed up in fantastic costumes which promoted a delightful ambiance. Sadly to say, the time was not enough to enjoy all the activities. There was a long queue for the portrait experience as well as for ordering drinks. Somehow, it felt rushed.

TANISHA SANTOS

It was an amazing experience! The actors, musicians and dancers are stupendous! Be prepared to get thru the photo props quickly to be able to get all your photos.

Danielle O'Hara

For those of you who love Bridgerton, you MUST make your way to "The Queen's Ball: A Bridgerton Experience"!! It was a lot of fun. We booked tickets yesterday for today, and I scored a dress at goodwill this afternoon, haha. We had no idea that we would be doing a riddle scavenger hunt. I wont post pictures of all the clues until after its left Chicago...because really, it's a lot of fun figuring it out! Wear Tiaras, long gloves, BRING A HAND FAN!!!! If you don't, they do have all of these available for purchase. Also, comfy shoes is an absolute must, as there is no seating, (unless you bought VIP tickets) but truly, once you walk in, you don't have time to sit! There's a lot of picture opportunities (free!), drinks to be had (those cost extra), and dancing!!!!! Don't forget, you're also trying to solve the riddle...to become the "Diamond" of the ball. There are a lot of emails that they send you beforehand to get into the spirit of the ball, and links for tips and tricks for dances and outfits/hairdos. Get your tickets before it leaves Chicago! The last day is Father's Day, June 19th. The ball was, "Flawless, my dear".

Ciara King

A truly immersive experience with Jaw dropping beautiful decor, Interactive actors and entertaining performances. Plenty of photo ops. Be prepared to dance! Arrive at least 30mins early so you can truly have a chance to see and enjoy all!!! Bring or buy a hand fan and something to dab sweat off with, you will be very warm!

Pamela Jackson

Absolutely loved "The Queen's Ball" in Chicago. The authenticity made the entire event feel like we were transported in time. I knew every song the musicians played. And the Queen held my attention every time she came out. Highly recommend! Loved seeing the dresses from the series.

Maria Rodriguez

Loved, loved, loved the experience. I have read all of Julia Quinn's Bridgerton books and watched the Netflix series (1 and 2). It was a delightful experience. I had such a blast and I went alone. The dancers and the violinist were great. The music was just right. The Queen was regal and beautiful. The audience were enjoying themselves. Many of them had great costumes. I absolutely loved the entire experience. I would like to come back again, maybe with a friend next time.

Barbara Ellzey

The Queen’s Ball was Beautiful I went alone and I had an amazing time! To see Bridgerton come alive right before my eyes and the Queen was exquisite darling.

Keanon T

Look at the reviews, look at the picture of me, and look at the reviews. Dont need to sugarcoat anything because the Bridgerton experience will do it all for you. Well worth it and want to have it again at a venue like a museum in Chicago. Come back to us!!!! P.S. I didnt have a date and ended up leaving with one lol.

LaShelle Newland

Dearest Guest of The Ton! Prepare to be swept off your feet as you immerse yourselves within this personal invitation to The Queens Ball. Whilst your mind and wonderment will be ever so engaged at every single moment - be ever so cleaver to take it all in - because in a flash it will over - leaving you in complete thirst for the next one! Party like it’s 1819 , partake in the specially crafted cocktails, listen to the awesome músic and watch the people of The Ton show up un their finest regalia. A good time will be had by all!

Gio Krozel

Had a Bridgerton Blast at the Queen's Ball this Saturday! It was a unique immersion experience which transported us back to 1813 with all the pomp and circumstance that the Queen brings. Looking forward to going again next month with more of the ton with us!

Lisa Pace

Bridgerton is an amazing experience if you are a fan of the Netflix series. If you are not, go anyway! Not to be missed!

Jazmine Vetrano

This was such a cool experience! The decorations were top notch! I had so much fun dancing and taking pictures at the super cool set ups they had throughout. The actors and actresses took this to a whole other level. I had a magical night. 🤩 …

Stacy Geskermann

The Bridgerton Experience was so much fun! The event space was transformed beautifully. The staff were friendly, helpful, polite, and in wonderful costumes. The performers were amazing The picture opportunities were beautiful and well designed. Drinks were delicious. My only criticism is that the event was too short. We weren't able to do everything we wanted to do even being very conscious about time. With that being said I still loved it and would recommend. Just know you have to prioritize what you want to do as you might not be able to to it all.

Laura Middleton

This was a great experience! The ambience, decor, the drinks, the actors, and the violinist were perfect. I wish it was longer and my only complaint there wasn’t any air conditioning but maybe that was to be expected as part of the 1813 experience? If I’d known I would’ve brought a hand fan. If you’re second guessing and loved the show or just the era just do it, you won’t be disappointed.

Vicki King

It was exquisite, my young adults LOVED it as did I! It was a very cross generational event that pleased the masses! Only thing is that is was not long enough! Lol #BridgertonExperience

Amanda Vongsaga

My best friend and I enjoyed every minute. We didn’t expect the experience to be as immersive as it was and we didn’t expect all the performances. It was amazing.

Jonathon Eddy

Very pretty dresses. Nice dances. Overly expensive drinks. No food is being served. Runs on a pretty tight shift due to too many people. Definitely make sure to get their on time in order to reap all the benefits of the tickets. The queen was beautiful.

Terrell W.

A real outstanding experience indeed! Seeing everyone in the FINEST outfits from that era was amazing! Very interactive and organized. I've never seen the show, but I will definitely watch it now! Highly recommended!😁 …

Shannon D

DO NOT BUY VIP TICKETS! It was a great event but we showed up 30 minutes early and we HAD to do valet parking because the self park was full, an extra $10 for them to park us 5 spots from the door. We got in and it was great fun and we got to take all kinds of pictures but we were cut off to take pictures at the throne, then cut off again to bow to the queen. There was some sort of scavenger hunt which there was no time to do if you wanted to get pictures. You couldn’t really dance either with how many people were there. The VIP tickets get you 1 free glass of champagne, you get to go in about 10 minutes early and you can sit in the ballroom. It’s not as much fun to sit because everything happens in front of you if you stand. There really wasn’t enough time in each room if you want the full experience.

Jennifer Johnson

Amazing event! The live music and dance performances were outstanding!!! My biggest complaint is that it wasn't long enough! We didn't have time to see everything and take all the pictures we wanted. And we totally missed our opportunity to bow to the queen. About another 30min to an hour would have been perfect. While the location was beautifully transformed inside, the outside area leading in and the bathrooms were not ideal. Chicago has so many beautiful historic buildings I would have much rather it was located in one of those. Besides those two complaints I still highly recommend this event. It was very subversive and so many of the attendees got into it and dressed up (tiaras and all). The staff was friendly and made sure we didn't miss a moment of the performances.

Darlene Ovyn Warner

They did a great job making you feel like you were in the 1800’s era. The Queen’s performance was spot on. The musicians were outstanding! The interactive opportunities and photo ops were great. It was very enjoyable! If you loved the show you’ll love this event. The attendees were 99% women so if you’re a single male get a bunch of bachelor friends, dress up, and go find your princess!

Elizabeth C

I went with my daughter. The staff was very nice, from the valet parking staff to the people that helped guide the participants, to the actors. The surroundings were exquisite with so much attention to detail. They had some dresses in display from the show which were interesting. So much beading, lace, and beautiful detail that doesn't really show up on screen. It was fun to see everyone dresses up. Lol, there was one boyfriend that looked totally bored and our of place - poor guy😄😂😅. They had a dance show! The 2 dancers acted out a love romance in a ballet or modern dance style (I'm not sure which it was). Sweet. We took loads of pictures and video. Of ourselves, of the dancers, and of the musicians and other actors. It was fun seeing the delight of our diamond being selected. Heartwarming to be sure. After, we had about 15 min of free dancing before the end of the event.

K H

It was very interactive. Absolutely amazing and beautifully done. The actors were so talented and the dancing and music was wonderful. Love all the photo stations, just not enough time to enjoy them.

Ailani

We loved this experience. Everyone was dressed up so fancy and the staff and actors were all so kind. We didn't want to leave, everything was so beautiful. By far the best date night my husband and I have had! My husband wasn't as excited to go as me but he ended up loving how everyone dressed up and the whole experience. We both had lots of fun.

Nicole Canady

It was Awesome! I would definitely go again. I did not take enough pictures. It was so much fun, I felt like I was a part of the cast. Will definitely go again.

Angela Morales

Great experience and chance to dress up and great photo opps. Extra charge for VIP seating not necessary/ worth it as the show is about 30 min in the area after taking your photos by the great props and you need to be by dance floor anyway to participate.

Mar “Martini” Tini

If you like the Netflix hit series then it is definitely a must-do while your in Chicago. Regency era attire is preferred but definitely dress to impress the queen and her royal court. Make sure you come with an open mind and participate and mingle with guests. I loved the sets and costume designs. The cocktails were great. The performances were great! Definitely a romantic setting for lovers. I felt I went back in time and would highly recommend you practice your curtsy or bow. Just embrace all the people and have a good time and stay cheery lads!

Linda Banks

The venue was decorated so amazingly! You felt transported back into a magical time. The live music was wonderful! The other guests were so friendly & I admired everyone’s clothing! The venue provided multiple photo ops & I had so much fun, I did two shows in one day!

K R

The Bridgerton Experience was absolutely magical. We felt like we stepped back in time and got to attend a ball. It was great to see all of the amazing fashion. I highly recommend attending this immersive event. It was pure joy!

Oachia Irvin

I had so much fun! Her Majesty Queen Charlotte was simply gorgeous! The dancers were amazing! The decor was breathtaking! I wasn't chosen Diamond of the season, but did get a Lady Whistledown's Society Paper!! This experience was truly awesome!!

Dayna Nguyen

Was absolutely blown away by this event. Every detail was outstanding. My friends and I had the best night and came away with amazing pictures! Would recommend to everyone! A must attend ball and a great excuse to break out a fun outfit and dance.

Diane Hagler

I bought tickets as a surprise for my daughter’s 19th birthday. The venue staff were friendly and professional. The actors and actresses were talented and played their roles fabulously. The decorations were breathtaking. We thoroughly enjoyed everything about this event.

Lashaun Price

The Queens Ball!! A Bridgerton Experience was simply Devine. We were transported back in time from the first step in the door . The Tennis Club was completely turned into a walk back in time.. Every guest was beautiful .. Ballroom and Princess dresses were the order of the day. The performances the live musicians last but not least Her Magesity herself was breath taking. Definitely a memorable experience ✨️ 💖

Laurie Hatfield

We loved the whole experience. People really dressed the part and were ready to party like it was 1813. Taking the portrait pictures was truly a highlight. Going to the Bridgerton Ball was a real cultural experience. So much fun.

Neckole Kaplanovic

amazing! i took my sister here for a date and we had a blast! make sure to get there early to take lots of pics! trust me you wont regret it! the performance is amazing too!

Sphurti

everything had care taken into the planning. I was a little sus when the venue was like a gym but I get they needed a big space to suspend disbelief. the actors, the performances , the queen, the drink were surprisingly good albeit expensive , the set was beautiful they had so many options for photo ops. Loved it 10/10 would do again

Dyna Chadwick

The Bridgerton Experience was amazing. Had an opportunity to hang out and dress up with some Friends. The ambiance was beautiful. The interaction with the performers were great. Loved everything from beginning to end.

Somerset Bono

Overall a very fun experience- but 90 minutes is much too short. We didn't even get to do half of the photo ops or activities and it often felt like we were being rushed thru the process when we did. What we would or would not be able to go back to do was never clearly communicated, and often directly contradicted by different staff members. Choosing to do one photo might mean you miss a key 'story' beat-- it really feels like they've intentionally built this in to try and get you to come back a second time which is ridiculous for how expensive it is between the ticket and the upcharges for parking, coat check, etc. Also prices on drinks were insane- $16 for a cocktail and $6 for a glass of water. The big disappointment of the evening was that in a room full of people dressed to the nines they crowned a woman in jeggings and a white cotton top as the 'diamond' which really felt like it went in the face of encouraging people to spend money to rent the runway, etc.

Kori C.

Had such a great time! The decor and costumes were amazingly beautiful. We had 2 proposals during the performance! Definitely a memory that will last forever.

A Night

The Queens Ball experience was great, unfortunately the parking experience was a nothing but an unfortunate hussle. Although the venue had ample parking free, they charged $10 for self park and $25 for valet. Because I arrived an hour early I watched these valet's park people's car's. My niece was forced out of line for self park and then had to pay valet. After the show was over she asked for her keys, they had left her car running the whole time.

Vanessa B

An Amazing performance by all. It was a fun to dress up and interact with the cast members. I would recommend the VIP to have extra time for photos.

Julia Kirn

The setting was initimate and romantic. The crowds were the perfect size. The dancing was a little tricky but seriously who cares! Just go with it and fully immerse yourself in Bridgerton! ALSO THE QUEEN IS SPOT ON.

Deidre Dixon

This highly anticipated event was everything I hoped for and more! Loved the entertainment and interaction. I felt like a princess in my ball gown and crown. It was beautiful!

Mukisa K.

It was a nice experience. I think that in the future that attendees should not be told to come 30 minutes early in there's nowhere for them to wait. Especially since we were not allowed to enter until at least 10- 15 minutes before the ticket time.

Tiffany Favers du Shine

If you are a Bridgerton fan this is a must! It was so much fun to feel a part of the experience! Everyone was dressed up and having a lot of fun! The dancing and music were wonderful!

Victoria Oliver

Best.Experience.Ever! Loved everything about it. My only complaint is it wasn’t long enough and since I’m short I couldn’t see the performances on the floor when everyone crowded around. But overall I will do this again in a heartbeat!

Nataliya Tkachova

I absolutely like this experience. Well organised ,amazing decorations and costumes. I was a lot what to do and to watch . Can’t wait to see more same kind of events

Amal Mansour

The Queens Ball was everything. It looked like a fairytale inside. The set, the costumes, and the people working it were extremely helpful. I would definitely do it again next year and every year its in Chicago.

jeffrey macmillen

fun night out, great experience & everyone was enjoying the moment.

YVONNE CRUZ

The ball was such an awesome experience to see everyone participating and dressing up, it was as we were actually there. I truly enjoyed how they had us dancing, and the music..

Leta Vega

Was VERY hot and felt rushed. 2 hours would have been better. Definitely dress to impress and the decor was spectacular!!

O. Kenyatta Little

The location of this event was perfect. I brought my mother and she requires assistance. Everyone was really helpful. I hope they have more events here.

Stephanie Gates

It was fun to dress up and pretend to be a part of the Queen’s ball. I appreciated the diversity of the people present. It was a great experience to be a part of.

Diane Miller

Wished it was longer. Too crowded and didn’t get to experience everything. It also felt rushed and they closed down the bar before the party ended. Bring this to Denver and I’ll go on a less crowded night. :)

Alison Kaveckas

SO FUN! My husband and I wish we could go again. I don't remember the last time we had that much fun. The smallest details made this immersive experience a lasting memory.

Candace Smith Hirsh

This is a once-in-a-lifteime incredible experience. The ambience, the set design, the costumes, the dancing & storyline were all outstanding. I'm glad I attended.

Michael Sims

Really enjoyed the experience. More seating prior to show for those with standing difficulties. VIP seating could have been a bit closer to see the performances.

Sandy Palumbo

This event far exceeded our expectations from the moment you enter throughout the arrivals of the musicians and the queen herself! We highly recommend attending this event!

HeatherTLoveJones

The Bridgerton Experience was an exquisite event! It did not disappoint. My daughter and I want to go again. I highly recommend it!

Susan Narrajos

Karen G

Amazing event with costumes and live music. Don’t forget to dress for Regency period and enjoy a stunning signature cocktail!

Sylvia Reynolds

I haven't had the privilege to see it yet, By everyone's reaction before they enter the ballroom and exit the building, I must say: The Bridgertone was everything and more a job well done.

Cold Frost

This was an amazing experience that I would do again. I wish we had just a little more time but other then that it was the perfect night. Amazing!
