My daughter wanted to do this...we took 2 different family photos. They were both awful. The first one was hideous, the second, slightly less hideous. It was expensive, and the employee's seemed to hate their job with a passion. Although, one older lady was nice. The photos of the kids were cute, but they won't let you buy those separately... More

The process was quicker than I expected. I went with my girlfriend and we were in and out in about 15 minutes once we got in (there were a few people ahead of us in line and I can see how there could be a long wait if it were busy). There was a decent selection of settings and costumes.... More

Staff was very friendly. Got us in and out in under 25 minutes from start to finish. Picture was a little pricey. Brought a coupon in for $5 dollars off. Mentioned it several times through the process and discovered that (only at checkout) that is was not accepted. Thought that was a scam and misleading. Still bought the picture and... More

Dressing up as Civil war era soldiers and sentimental mom and dad was a great way to have a family portrait taken. No, it ain't cheap but the experience and the photos make great gifts. It was fun! and a lot less calories than the local fudge :-) More

We visited Old Abe's during the height of tourist season. The place was busy, but the wait didn't seem that long (it gave us time to look at the photos & decide which theme we wanted). We ended up with the pirate theme. Employees did choose our costumes, I think letting people choose their own would take a great deal... More

We compared Old Abe's and Al Capone's and decided to go with Old Abe's for pricing ( a bit cheaper ) and we liked the Casino setting. As soon as we said we were ready they brought us into the dressing area and out of hundreds of outfits allowed 4 dresses for my wife and just flat out picked my... More

Our party of 8 people had a total of 6 different packages ranging from 2 - 8 people per photo. Subsequently we were there for an extended period of time. The staff was friendly and in our group photos they managed to get all of looking and giving the requested facial expression. Considering the youngest person was 20 months old,... More
