Wheaton, IL – Residents across DuPage County and the western Chicago suburbs looking for a unique Saturday night outing can step into a 1990s-themed whodunit this weekend during a Murder Mystery Dinner event in Wheaton.
According to Cantigny, the immersive dinner theater experience titled “Murder Mystery Dinner: Good Riddance” will take place Saturday, January 17, 2026, at the Cantigny Le Jardin venue, located at 1S151 Winfield Road in Wheaton. Doors open at 6:30 p.m., with the show beginning at 7 p.m. and running until approximately 10 p.m.
The adults-only (21+) event invites guests to become part of the story as a murder unfolds during the evening. Attendees are encouraged to interact with characters, question suspects, and piece together clues while enjoying a full three-course, family-style dinner. The storyline leans heavily into 1990s nostalgia, with themed characters, music, and attire encouraged.
The dinner menu includes Italian salad, chicken limone with Yukon Gold whipped potatoes, seared salmon with roasted asparagus, roasted vegetable pasta primavera, and tiramisu for dessert. Coffee, hot tea, and soft drinks are included, while a cash bar will be available for alcoholic beverages.
Tickets are priced at $75 per person, plus tax and service fees. Guests purchasing tickets separately but attending together are encouraged to contact organizers in advance to ensure group seating.
Cantigny officials note that space is limited, and advance reservations are required. The event is expected to draw attendees from across Wheaton, DuPage County, and the greater Chicago metro area.
