- buckyfanWiWI153 contributionsIt was a very interesting tour and that is because we had an excellent docent. Cheryl made it fun and interesting and well worth our time to visit.Written 11 October 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Wendy KAppleton, WI2 contributionsI've attended multiple performances and have always appreciated the help and positive attitude of the volunteers. The shows are top quality and every seat has a good view.Written 6 May 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- MichaelAppleton, WI22 contributionsParking is a challenge and it’s a little pricey - but the kids love it.
Lots of different activities and good for at least a couple hours.Written 20 August 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

The stadium overall has so much to offer for food and drinks, plus a variety of seating options. Parking was convenient, too. Our only (minimal) gripe was that the stadium shop did not sell sunscreen.
We'll definitely be back next summer!!!Written 21 May 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- MityCMorristown, NJ138 contributionsMy son attends Lawrence. This school has a very nice small campus on the hill looking down on the Fox River. I won't go into the pros and cons of the university itself but from a visit/travel perspective it is very nice. The Wach Center is the school's main amenity containing food, mail and dining.Written 17 June 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- ktbeenthere2015New York City, NY259 contributionsIf you like walking, then this is a great way to introduce yourself to the area. Be sure to get a map online or from a vendor because it will explain the various stops. The walk is an easy 2.2 miles with a ramp or stairs at the end, but it took us about 1.5 hours as we stopped and marveled. Having completed the walk we better understood the town. One sight not mentioned in the map was the world’s largest tetherball!!Written 14 July 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- John Jmuncie, United States19 contributionsVery nice trail system. The education center was not of much interest to us as we just wanted to get in a bit of hiking. Trails could use better signage, but overall nice.Written 8 July 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- LanceJanesville, WI60 contributionsWe had a little extra time in Appleton on our day trip and thought we would check it out. Great thing we did. Had a great time, learned a lot and even made paper. The staff is top notch and helped with dinner ideas.Written 8 September 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- dmkrusitoMaple Grove, MN102 contributionsThey had 2 exhibits at the time of our visit, Leonardo DaVinci, & Houdini. Very interesting exhibits, but 15 $ is a bit high for what you saw. Still glad we stopped in.Written 17 August 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- TedinAppletonAppleton, WI178 contributionsThis park has it all. It has an ice rink that I did not attend and large sports fields. But its beautiful attraction is the hiking along groomed trails of local trees and plants. There is a pavilion building you can rent surrounded by a well-groomed garden of flowers. I liked this garden so much I will be back again and again just to see what's blooming.Written 3 July 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Kenneth KWheaton, United States91 contributionsThe Butterfly Gardens is a wonderful place spend some time in nature with butterflies and learn a lot from the excellent staff. A highlight is the butterfly house where the butterflies are free and interact with the visitors among the flowers. The grounds are very well kept and you can spend time walking through the path. Very nice people doing wonderful work for Butterflies. Great for all ages.Written 31 July 2021This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
