    The museum is fantastic with detailed exhibits of schooner ship construction and a great submarine docked alongside. You can walk through the sub and get the feel of being an underwater mariner. There are also models of a number of ships that AIL THE GREAT LAKES.

    A great way to learn about Wisconsins farms and farming in general. My daughter loved it! A lot of interactive things to do and we even saw a birth!

    Beautiful museum we took a lot of pictures. I went here with my friend. It was her first time visiting the museum. Everything about the museum is just so relaxing and so elegant! Been coming here since I was really young. 10 out of 10 experience

    Just like in many other places, I visited mostly seeking a railroad portion of the history, the depot in particular. The museum inside the depot is tiny, and not that much to see. The building itself is very small, but reflects well the depots built in small towns back in the day. There is a very interesting and rare locomotive sitting just outside, plus a caboose, of course.

    Tim was great! Puzzles were very difficult :) We didn’t end up escaping but got pretty close, Vlad was definitely a challenge

    This was a quick stop before making our way back home. I seen pictures of the zoo and didn’t know what to expect but it turns out we were able to see quite a bit. The animals they have outside are regional or are from areas with a similar climate so like a Cougar, Lynx, Buffalo, and a Bear. A couple of the enclosures were empty but there’s evidence of future improvements. The Asiatic Black Bear, the big cats, and Buffalo were out and active with decent sized enclosures for a small zoo. There’s a small building with some reptiles including a large tortoise and very nicely kept.

    The Hobie pedal kayaks are the best! Rent from Mary in the office. The young summer hires give excellent instructions and assist with kayak cast off. We have rented the tandem kayak several times, and find the trip up the river a pleasant experience.

    It will take atleast 4 hours to go through all 36 holes of course. A great hike, as you do the difficult course. There is a couple of holes along Lake Michigan. One hole had to be adjusted as a tree had fallen on the tee.

    Great new location along the river, with a wonderful open seating indoor space and an attractive outdoor beer garden. They were setting up a stage for live music the afternoon we visited. Huge pretzels and well brewed beers, with choices to please all palettes. We should have stayed longer, but had other commitments
