Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

What travellers are saying
- Tori S1 contributionDocent was totally knowledgeable, gave us lots of great information about not only the architecture itself - wonderful Louis Sullivan architecture that shows a lot of empathy for the culture that would inhabit the church, but also about the style that this congregation worships in. A hidden treasure in Chicago in the wonderful neighborhood of Ukrainian Village.Written 9 October 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- LoveTravel1847000103 contributionsThe 606 is similar to the Highline in NYC where the trail is elevated on old train tracks. Love all the plants and trees lining the pathway. They were all well maintained and there’s a variety of plantings. Not very many benches to rest on the pathway but many street exits if you chose to explore the neighborhoods. Damen St in Wicker Park is perfect for drinks & a bite to eat. Just be careful when walking on the trail because there can be a lot of bikes. Definitely a nice alternative trail in Chicago besides the lakefront. Will be back!Written 7 July 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- THINGS2LIVE4Rocky River, OH2,681 contributionsWords can’t express how beautiful historic inner-city church’s are. This parish was established by Polish immigrants around the turn of the century. I went to a Latin mass Monday morning.Written 12 April 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Jen TravelsDetroit, MI6,805 contributionsWas browsing this site when I came across this gem đź’Ž
I just knew it would be an excrement to remember.
No need for old newspaper bags with this one, so count your stars, because you'd need several to clean this wet mess up ✌
Beautifully crafted so you'd almost think it's a snake. But no, it was built to look just like yesterday's Dog Chow, and definitely not as smelly as you find out on your perfectly manicured lawn by someone that feels it unnecessary to carry an old shopping bag to clean up after their beloved ball of fur with a face.
So thank you to all who give the privilege of cleaning up after a pet that's not theirs 🙏
We would never otherwise have this monument to be proud to stick our faces in front of for pictures 🤪
You can easily walk up to this, but look closely as it's a smaller size and it's behind cars parked on the street. It's right at the corner of an intersection off the sidewalk.Written 2 June 2021This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Many dressed in authentic homeland costumes wonderful celebration in a stunningly ornate church All liturgy and songs in Polish. After mass was a welcoming group cooking authentic polish foods and sharing all with us. Thank you and many blessings 🙏Written 18 November 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- christopherbO9687MPActon, MA745 contributionsSt. Stanislaus Kostka is a beautiful classical Roman Catholic Church interior with a massive alter. The icons and liturgical decorations are very Eastern European in style; understandable since this church still has Sunday services in Polish. A good place to visit; particularly if your family is holding a wedding service in this Chuch.Written 28 September 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Very impressive.Written 16 October 2017This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- XTOC6United States85 contributionsThis Cathedral's name is ACTUALLY "Saint VOLODYMYR Ukrainian Orthodox Cathedral" in Chicago Illinois.
The corner stone is a historical timestamp of the era when the stone was added. As it is Not original to the structure nor the congregation. It isva leftover from an era in the history of this parish, the immigrants whose names were typically Russified even in America, not just in Ukraine.
"VOLODYMYR" is the correct transliteration from Ukrainian, just as "Wolodymyr" is from Polish, and as PREVIOUS spelling "Vladimir" is from Russian, and was used originally due to multiple reasons of that era.
The original congregation which purchased this property from its first owner, comprised of Ukrainian Kozak (aka Kazak) immigrants and their families, and dates back to January of 1915, when the parish was known as Holy Trinity and was located at 1944 W Erie Street in Chicago, Illinois.
(would have given 5 stars, if not for the arrogant choir director and his adult children)Written 8 November 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

The paintings on the ceilings and walls were old world and resembled those found in other cathedrals the world over. The bathrooms were in a state of disrepair however, don't let that keep you from visiting this piece of history in old Chicago.Written 13 June 2017This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
