So overall it was a great experience for our family after a long stay-home duration. I will suggest people to plan , register in temple website before you go.

My most favorite place for prayer and meditation. So calm and peaceful and full of vibrant energy.

Good hygiene and social distancing measures, food was delicious as well! Better register online before visiting.

Typical hindu temple in US. Canteen is good. Kids enjoy playing in the park only during summer. Peaceful!

Good place. There are lot of sculptures of so many God forms. Main one is Shri Venkateshwara. Clean and tidy. Commercial, ‘iskon’ like feeling as expected. I liked it and would visit again.

In the temple do you allow Dodge Durango Ford Mustang Buick GMCSaturn car brand Pontiac car brand Jeep Wrangler in your parking lot? Because we are not Indians kill of your Indian cars and allow American cars.

Excellent management during pandemic. Proper measures taken for everyones safety. Extremely peaceful. Vast area. All idols. Beautiful environment.

One should visit this place during their visit to Chicago and have the blessings of Lord Balaji. Well Maintained and brings us peace of mind whenever your are inside the temple. Food provided at food court will bring back nostalgia of South Indian experience

Divine spiritual atmosphere. Temple is situated in beautiful suburbs of Aurora. Property has two ponds, main temple, food court and gift shop. Main idol is Sri Balaji. Temple is well maintained and almost all Hindu festivals are celebrated and did as per the traditional Hindu culture. Food court serves the best South Indian food in the area, and is very decently priced. There is ample parking space.

Very nice temple. The temple had almost all deities ( Lord Venkateswara, Vinayaka, Subramanya Swami, Shiva, Ayyappa, Anjaneya and more). It has very good cafeteria which serves delicious food. A small kids play park is also there.
