This midwest treasure is well worth the add on stop to your road trips. This is the bacon that the high end resorts around the area have used for decades. Grab a box of bacon and freeze it. Thaw what you want as you need it. There are also bags and boxes full of irregular shaped bacon which is perfect for cooking and flavoring all of your homemade Holiday favorites.

Excellent and Unique Meats, besides being a destination we find ourselves sherpering items back to the city for friends Bacon enthusiasts .. a must stop!
CJ D — Google review
Best smoked bacon with no exceptions. On the expensive side but at the company store you can buy it in 5#packages and it becomes a much better bargain. Drove 40 miles out of our way to buy this bacon. Staff was absolutely helpful and thoughtful.
Donna F — Google review
This is probably the best bacon you'll ever eat. We bought 10 lbs to take home. Great gift shop too! Worth the trip, They also sell some outstanding fresh meats as well.

Hands down the best bacon ever! Can't beat the quality and smoky flavor. They have great deals to watch for also when we want to stock up. Beautiful part of the state to drive to.

Was driving from Green Bay to Minneapolis and decided to check out the town of Wittenberg. I'm so glad I got off the highway and headed into town. I drove right by this gem of a place and decided to turn around and check it out, it looked too awesome not too. It is a beautiful store and maintained grounds. The place was packed to the point of having a hard time getting around. I decided to go with some summer sausage as I was travelling. Haven't tried it yet, but I imagine it will be good.
Brian D — Google review
Oh my, oh my!!! This place is heaven 😍. The smell is something I wish they could bottle and make a cologne, it’s smells soooo good. The selection of beef and pork products is overwhelming, in a good way. They have a lot of other local options like popcorn, cheese, maple syrup, pickled everything, jams, baskets for gifts, etc. It is a very cool place outside and inside, a must visit when you are in the area. You can tell there is a lot of history here and the quality of their product and very helpful staff shows in every way. Thank you for a great experience and count on me stopping by everytime in the area.

Recently, I spent about 1 1/2 days visiting the area and casino. I decided to stay overnight. The room cost was $144.50 with a players card. The entire property is beautiful! The rooms are gorgeous. I highly recommend this casino/hotel. The reasons I did not give a 5 star review are free play could have been a bit more generous, discount on food would have been nice and my first room had no hot water.
Diane R — Google review
In short this is a fully automated casino, no human dealers, but its clean, pleasant, and honestly if your just looking for a fun time with a few friends its more than enough. The long story is simple - no human dealers is just boring and the entertainment is as average as it can be but its clean, safe, and afforded me some fun. Myself and a large group had some free time one Saturday evening and decided to visit. It was clean and safe which if you've ever visited casinos that operate in more rural areas earns a star on its own. Now I have grief with that its not advertised anywhere that they don't have human dealers. On top of that there's one automated roulette table, one automated blackjack table, and one automated craps table. Besides that its all slots. If I wanted to sit 5 feet apart from my friends while an AI generated dealer deals me cards on a giant screen I'd just do it at home on my phone. On top of this one of the automated blackjack terminals (idk what to call it but a spot at the big automated table) broke with 80 dollars of my friends money in it and it took staff 20 minutes to resolve the issue despite even talking to someone at security. Staff was generally nice outside the usual young adult/teenage angst which could be found at the restaurants. The food from the restaurants is severely overpriced with a McDonalds down the road but I do concede its good just overpriced. I did not stay at the hotel so I have no notes for there except that parking is abundant which is nice. Now beside those grievances it really was pleasant. Some people won money some people lost it, felt generally average for a casino. the slots had good diversity and I got to watch a few bonuses and small jackpots occur while I was there. I enjoyed myself enough I'd give the location 4 stars if they just advertised the lack of human dealers - not doing so is a little manipulative and should be addressed which is sad because outside that it really is such a nice location considering its a little out there. Or if you're going to be fully automated give me a few more blackjack, roulette, and craps tables - waiting in line essentially to play blackjack is as fun as watching someone else play with your present on Christmas.

What can I say it's a casino and that place especially hold a dear spot in my heart. It was the first casino I went to when I first came to live in this state and where my old roomie went on the spur of the moment. Had so much fun.. highly recommend going.
Lil M — Google review
Had a enjoyable time. Masks are certainly required anywhere inside of the facility, including the onsite gas station. Otherwise there's not much more to say. I was only there to throw a few bucks in the machine.

Central Waters Brewing Co. | Amherst

Brewery
Nightlife
Bars & Clubs
On Saturdays, this brewery hosts tours & opens its taproom for craft beer service.
Central Waters is a must stop on your brewery check list. If you like the beer you have found in stores and pubs this is a new level. They have all their standard selections, 3 of their bourbon barrel varieties, 4 seltzers, but best of all, they have 12 pilot and experimental beers you can only get here. On my trip they were test a new IPA, an imperial double hazy, a rice lager, a black coffee ale, a chai porter, a mosaic pale ale, helles lager, rye lager, a strawberry stout, a Belgian double, oatmeal stout, and a Baltic porter. They also had 5 flagship beers and 4 seasonals on including another helles, a coffee stout, a honey imperial IPA, and a peach tea wheat beer. They had another 7 beers in cans only and they had 4 speciality bombers. Their is no lack of beer to try here and they do a great job. The indoor bar area has an industrial design and sits in the brewery. They also have a decent amount of seating outdoors. This is a great brewery and I believe you will enjoy it as much as I.

Attended an event here and loved the brewery. The room came with drink tokens so we all enjoyed delicious beverages and food the organizer brought in. Plenty of room, great beer, staff was friendly! Has a wonderful time and bought a couple pint glasses on the way out!
Jackie T — Google review
We took the brewery tour & our guide was excellent. The tour was very nice. The bar & merch prices are super reasonable. $4/drink is unheard of! Everything was clean, including the bathroom. I'm not sure how the food situation works, but supposedly you can order food. I would absolutely go back, even though it's a 50 min drive.
Stacey P — Google review
This brewery was recommended to me in 2018. I don't get back "home" very often but this time, I made a trip with no real plans and decided to visit. The flight of beers I had were absolutely amazing! Though, the Octoberfest was a little lacking in body -for my tastes- but still marvelous. The staff was fun and helpful in recommending selections to me. 💯 cannot recommend this place enough.
Matt D — Google review
fantastic brewery out in rural wisconsin. great if you like barrel aged beers, friendly staff, wide selection laid back vibe. just wish they had a kitchen but they have food trucks on the weekend. a must visit spot for craft beer fanatics.
Christopher K — Google review
What a fantastic find. If you’re looking for a brewery in the heart of Wisconsin, look no further. They have SO many beers on tap and canned that it’s hard to choose from. The atmosphere is perfect as they have a ton of room inside and out. There is usually a food truck parked along side the building and there is corn hole outside for family fun. Even the merchandise area is awesome, a lot of options to choose from. The staff that was pretty stellar as well. Overall, great place to spend a summer day/evening!

OK beer. Was looking to buy some bottles to bring home. Staff was completely useless in providing suggestions. Without any guidance I ended up with two bottles for $50, price tags is not a thing anymore apparently. Probably worth it for Central Waters, but that was my first and last visit.

Dells of the Eau Claire County Park

Park
Nature & Parks
Beautiful and expansive falls and rock outcroppings visible from the road and just off of the parking lot where there is a broad viewing platform. The hike to the west of the viewing platform, right along the river on the north side, is really rough and rocky, but after you cross the bridge, the hike back along the river is very pleasant. I'd opt for the Ice Age Trail if I were to hike along the north side of the river again, even though you're hiking along the ridge and not next to the river. The path is just a lot smoother and better maintained.
Chanelle S — Google review
I did the part of the Ice Age Trail as listed on the AllTrails app, but I also drove through the park and found it to be well kept, clean, and beautiful. The restrooms I visited were all good. "The trail at the Dells of the Eau Claire County Park was really awesome. Woods, rushing water, cool rocks.... and it was a beautiful morning. Could not ask for anything more!" I got there early and I was one of three people there, but by 10 AM, the rocks in the river were crawling with kids and adults. Still great listening to the sound of the water, and on the trail it was pretty peaceful.

Brewery
Food & Drink
Stevens Point Brewery, located in Stevens Point, WI, is one of the oldest continuously operating breweries in the United States. The brewery offers regular tours where visitors can witness the beer-making process, explore the warehouse, and sample a variety of craft beers, ciders, and soda. Additionally, they are known for their Snow Pilot beer and offer convenient curb-side pickup.
What a fun place! The tour costs $10 and you get drink tickets and a glass worth over $20 total. Great vibe to the place. It’s the second oldest continuously run brewery in the US!
LAURA H — Google review
Loved the huge selection of beers and ciders. We went on a tour and it was interesting but wished it had a little more history of the brewery rather than general info about beer. Live music outside on the day we went so that was great. Got to sit outside, enjoy the beautiful day, and there were even a few pups outside with their families too. Will go again!
Brittany K — Google review
We took the 1PM tour with Pierce! He was awesome! Highly recommend if you are in the area. So much history to learn about this place! Also, great selection of beer. We sat outside to enjoy the weather for a while! We will definitely come back!

I have been through Steven’s Point many times. This was our first time stopping at the Point Brewery… Why did I wait so long??!! It’s a cool little stop in a residential neighborhood that seems like an unexpected area for a brewery. We stopped in just to see the place. We didn’t have time for the tour, but wanted to check out the buildings, tasting room retail shop. Let’s just say… this place is worth a stop. Our recommendation . Buy the tour ticket for $10. You get a free pint glass and 4 sample coupons. Get your self four 7oz samples in the tasting room which is perfect. And less expensive since a sample costs $6 on its own if you buy it at the bar. If you don’t use the sample coupons you can turn them in for a bottle of beer in the gift shop. Two coupons gets you one bottle. The tasting room is reminiscent of an old world bar and worth the stop on its own. There is a large outside area for sitting with great tables, and ambiance. Stop in at the point brewery. Worth your time even if going a few miles out of the way. And, you can get their beer by the bottle or case in the retail shop. And they have many varieties. More than I ever knew!!
Mike R — Google review
Great place to learn and sample. $10.00 tour, 4 samples and a souvenir glass, can’t be beat! There’s a small gift shop, an outdoor beer garden and a really nice bar. Plenty of beer and cider varieties to try.
Debby S — Google review
We attended a Suprise birthday party here for a family member last Sunday. We found the Tap Room cool and inviting - a great place to take your friends and have a beer and watch an event on one of their large TVs. The tap room was connected with both their gift shop and a large, indoor eating room, which looked out through a wall of windows and doors to a private, fenced in area, where we had our private event. The tap room offers a selection of beer and tasty sodas, plus pizza and a few snacks. Reasonable prices! We were allowed to bring our own food for our party. The outdoor area was fenced in and featured both tables and sturdy chairs in the under roof patio area, plus some picnic tables under umbrellas in the grassy area. The facility offered corn hole games and a huge Jenga set for the kids to play with. Good service from the friendly staff made the event easy to happen. Clean bathrooms. Wheel chair accessible. I wish we lived closer because I'd make it a point to drop by occasionally.

The Stevens Point Sculpture Park is a 20-acre outdoor art exhibit connected to the Green Circle trail. It features a scenic walking trail with various sculptures by local, national, and international artists. The park offers rotating environmental exhibits and educational programs, making it an enjoyable place to visit in Stevens Point. Visitors can take a leisurely walk through the wooded area to observe the quirky and beautiful art installations placed at different stops along the well-groomed gravel trail.
Loved this little trail and sculpture park. The whole green circle looks like a fantastic bunch of trails and spots. The sculptures were great and we really enjoyed the little hand drawn banners from local elementary schools - it was a great touch. Would love to come back on our next drive through Wisconsin!
Megan A — Google review
It’s free to visit. Parking is ample. Art is subject to the viewer so some may really enjoy and some may not. The walk itself was enjoyable but the amount of mosquitos makes the walk slightly unbearable. I found some of the sculptures to be a little on the weirder side with pretentious signs explaining the artists meaning behind the sculpture. I found a few of the sculptures to be very well made and unique while others in my opinion were odd and out of place with no real thought put into them. I think this place is one best formed with your own opinion, all depends on what you like to look at.
Heather F — Google review
I visited the sculpture park while in town on business. What a gem! I enjoyed a serene walk through the woods while admiring the artwork. As with all art, some pieces spoke to me more than others. I particularly liked the artwork that focused on nature and blended seamlessly with the surroundings. The trail was well maintained and the path had no major hills, so it is easy to walk. I encountered a few other visitors with bikes and dogs. It takes an hour or less to see everything. I highly recommend visiting this local treasure spot!
Stacy B — Google review
This was a great option to stop at along a road trip route to stretch our legs and get some fresh air. The park is kept up very nicely, and has a nice clear walking path. Unfortunately for me the mosquitoes were very bad during our time so I ended up cutting my walk short because I didn’t think to take bug spray.

Great place to go for some amazing collection of Wisconsin cheese and cheese curds, not too far from the highway, must try.
Parth B — Google review
I agree with others—the cheese curds at Mullins are no longer what they used to be. These aren't the fresh, squeaky curds we’ve loved for years. Instead, they’re now sliced blocks of cheese, and they actually suggest microwaving them to "get the squeak" back. What the heck?! At over $6 a pound, I expect fresh, quality curds—not this disappointing substitute. Sadly, Mullins just isn’t the same anymore, and I won’t be making it a regular stop going forward. They’ve built a new, much larger store that feels more like a tourist attraction than the traditional, small-town cheese factory it once was. Even the scrap ends were over $5 a pound. Unfortunately, it’s no longer the place to go for delicious, authentic curds.
Courtney J — Google review
I love the variety of different cheeses and cheese curds they have. Each person in my family likes something different, and there's always something for each of us.The fresh fried cheese curds are the best. I love that there's more flavored ones now. I'm pregnant, and the dill flavored cheese curds is one of my cravings. It's not far from where I'm located so it's easy to send my husband for.

Nestled in the heart of downtown Wausau, The Grand Theater stands as a beacon of culture and creativity, captivating audiences with its elegant interior and rich history. This iconic venue hosts over 300 events annually, catering to 17 counties in Northern Wisconsin. From electrifying musicals like 'Jersey Boys' to mesmerizing acrobatic acts and lively concerts, there's something for everyone at The Grand.
I've seen multiple shows here -ballets, concerts and Broadway shows- always have a wonderful time. The staff and volunteers are very friendly and helpful. The building itself is well laid out and beautiful! I don't think there's a bad seat in the whole place. I'm so very glad we have such a wonderful venue that brings in a wide variety of amazing shows right here in Wausau! Leave early for parking, though. Sometimes you have to park quite a ways away, especially if the shows are sold out.

The last few performances I’ve been to here have had horrible sound issues. One live band ( The Wallflowers) had such loud bass and vocals were so quiet. Could not hear the vocals, the mic was screeching a few times And the bass was blasting for an acoustic rock band set. Tonight we saw cirque Christmas and there was a 1 hour delay because of the sound cutting out. We had to leave at intermission because it was so late. I’ve had friends go to other shows this year and had similar experiences. Not worth the money- which is unfortunate because the people they book are talented but their performance is affected by the sound. And lighting is often too bright and shining in your eyes when u are trying to see these talented acrobats do their thing. The

Iconic local theater with a rich history. I've been attending performances here all my life. The acoustics are great, last night's show was an amazing Johnny Cash tribute. Can't wait for Manheim Steamroller next month!

I have been a patient at WCTC for almost 3 years now and I couldn't be happier with my sobriety and progress. In all these years I have met almost every single employee that has come through the clinic doors and I have to say that they are there to help us in anyway they possibly can throughout our recovery. I have had a couple amazing counselors that I could honestly come to with literally anything going on in my life and feel comfortable and NOT judged by any means to do so.. I have been to multiple clinics around WI in the last 5 or so years and even 1 in IL and WCTC is by far the BEST clinic I have been to with the most caring, reliable, helpful, and nonjudgmental staff. They have been on my side and there for me ever since I walked in the door 3 years ago. They never cease to amaze me STILL after all this time. I could never thank them enough for saving my life and being one of the best support systems I have. Thank you again WCTC! 🙂

Wausau CTC is an amazing place to help one start the road to recovery. They have guided me through my journey in recovery and I'll forever be thankful to the staff. They offer many different types of groups to help clients learn how addiction works and how to overcome different situations and stay living a healthy balanced sober life. The counselors are amazing and very understanding as well as helpful with finding different resources in the community. I am very grateful to everyone there that has had a part in my journey. I would highly recommend someone to get help from Wausau Comprehensive Treatment Center if they are struggling from addiction. You will be welcome with open caring arms.

CTC comprehensive treatment center is one of the best facilities for helping with maintenance medication and counseling. Plus group counseling. They really do care about what they’re doing and they’ve received plenty of rewards to prove it. Please do check them out if you are struggling with opioid addiction, they’re easy to get into with next day appointments as long as it’s not on the weekend . They are extremely helpful in every way possible and offer resources for other things that they don’t necessarily have the answers too They’re helping me maintain a much cleaner lifestyle that I would not be able to do without them. I’ve struggled with herion use off and on for Years it but how you work the program depends on whether You wanna put in the work If you just go there for the medication so you’re not sick and spending all your money on drugs all the time then it will help you do that but you’ll spend Every single day going to the clinic just to Dose, you do not get a level when you are using . you go up levels If you stay clean, and you’re in compliance with your Counseling if you’re thinking, you can’t afford this just chill because they do offer gas mileage , Reimbursement and medical transportation through a company called Mtm and the clinic will also help you with getting all the gas mileage forms for trip logging to send in for payment and they will even fax them in for you ! Completely helpful This is if you have forward health/Medicaid state insurance they also take private insurance’s just give them a call to see if they take your private insurance but don’t worry if you don’t have any insurance at all and no state insurance you can also pay cash and $20 a day or 16 something it depends on what you’re on is a lot cheaper than paying $100 a day a bag . so don’t come up with the excuse that you can’t afford it and try to get put on state insurance if you don’t have it and you qualify they are really one of the best for rated methadone clinics around That’s not to say that they don’t offer methadone they also have Suboxone and subulate which is the shot that last of to a month if you really don’t wanna do all the driving but again it’s a situation where you have to stay clean for a while and on Suboxone and if you’re pregnant and using, please a call CTC you can be put on Subutex or/methadone , They have different option Depending on your sobriety from your drug of choice And the level of your addiction,, I recommended if you can stay off opiates for a few days you’re better off getting Suboxone way less Dependency So if you’re tired of your life being chaotic because of your hopeless addiction and tired of always being sick Give CTC a shot they won’t disappoint!!!5 stars for saving my life!!!

My family and I have attended this program for well over 30 yrs between here and appleton and I can say it has saved our lives. I recommend this treatment center all the time. My cousin was the first person to walk through the doors and my parents less then 10 others. I hope this program works for everyone that walks thru the doors.

This treatment center is amazing if your looking for help with your addiction I've been clean 5 years theyhave a easy tapering plan to each individual to help get off and the counslers are amazing along with the doctor I have been switched a few times from counslers which was anxiety inducing and caused to go back to being leary of them, but so far I've ended up with all amazing counslers and the one I didn't no longer is there. my favorites are starting with my first counsler who came back is brittney then there was Shawna and my current Amelia they have gotten me through alot are always there to listen and help there amazing I really love my counsler she makes me feel safe to open up and talk about anything, and helps in all the best ways she knows. If you decide to taper like I have been they still allow you to do counsling with out the medication, but it also gives you the option of going back on if you need or relapse. My expiernce has been amazing my significant other also went for his addiction but, I'm not happy with his results or his counsler but that's one person and I don't know the full extent of his experience, and I feel like his counsler failed him, but he has stayed in counsling after stopping the medication.

If another facility opened in wausau i would be gone. Never have i seen a business run based on like/dislike. 90 days between levels is ridiculous...much less to do if you keep patients at level 1 or 2 then w a shoddy system in place take levels for stupid reasons. Out of all of your staff only john, Michelle, Kaitlyn, and Karen are worth keeping

Granite Peak Ski Area

Mentioned on 
+7 other lists 
Ski resort
Nature & Parks
Ski & Snowboard Areas
Nestled in the heart of Wausau, Wisconsin, Granite Peak Ski Area is a winter wonderland for snow sports enthusiasts. With over 200 acres of terrain and more than 70 runs, this ski resort caters to skiers and snowboarders of all levels. From beginners to seasoned pros, everyone can carve their way down the slopes and experience the thrill of navigating powdery terrain.
As a recent transplant to St. Louis from California, I was skeptical about finding a ski area within a day's drive that could offer real vertical and fun runs. After doing some research, I decided Granite Peak, Wisconsin— a seven-hour drive — was my best option, and it didn’t disappoint. This was my first time skiing at a Midwest resort, and I spent three days there during Christmas week. It was absolutely worth the trip. The snowmaking and grooming were excellent, with about three feet of snow on the slopes, and there were plenty of great cruisers to choose from. I’m an advanced-intermediate skier, and while none of the runs were overly difficult, they were still a lot of fun. I was able to lap runs easily and rack up a lot of vertical throughout the day. The terrain is steeper at the top and mellows out nicely toward the bottom, offering a good variety. Night skiing is included with the day pass, which makes it an even better value. The staff was friendly, parking was easy, and the resort sits right next to Wausau with all the accommodations and dining options I could want. The whole area felt like a winter wonderland, and the views from the top — looking out over the flat Wisconsin River Valley and the lights of Wausau — made the experience even more memorable. While I was a little disappointed that the entire mountain wasn’t open (it opened fully the week after Christmas), everything that was open was fantastic. I did notice a lot of beginners near the base area, so it’s important to use some caution where all the runs converge. However, once the full mountain is open — including the two chairs on the west and east side of the mountain that serve primarily intermediate and advanced runs — the skier traffic will spread out significantly. This will help minimize congestion at the bottom and provides more options to avoid beginner areas altogether. Overall, I had an incredible time and plan to make Granite Peak a bi-annual trip, fitting it in before my yearly two-week ski trip out west.
Joe S — Google review
WOW I love this Ski Area!! There are so many hill to go down hill from beginner to expert ski. I love the one hill with long and very steep hill because I go down REALLY FAST!!! AWESOME!! I did see one hill have for Snow Skier to do jump trick. There is one lift chair (next to building to left) go pretty steady and slow. While the other lift chair (next to building to right) was going pretty fast. I like that speed so I can get going. I do like their Ski store they have with variety ski outfits and magnet. The tickets line was good but I wish I didn't have to go to window to get my ticket. It would be nice to have a machine outside to scan QR code then it will print ticket out. When I get to ski lift gate to scan my ticket I sometime have problems to scan my ticket thru my Ski coat. I like their Bar restaurant and Cafe place to eat. It seems pretty expensive. I thought it was interesting Cafe offer DISCOUNT for season pass when order foods or drinks. While Bar restaurant doesn't offer one. lastly, one strange fee cost is that at Cafe I don't get E&A FEE at all. While Bar Restaurant does charge me E&A FEE.

We had a spectacular day weather wise for the fall lift ride. The crew running the lift were friendly and very courteous. Very helpful to anyone who needed assistance seating on the lift or exiting the lift. The young lady that was at the ticket booth was very friendly and helpful as well. We will definitely be back again next year!

Always come here in March or April when closer resorts are done for the season. Usually after a snowstorm. Always great conditions. Newer amenities. Fast lifts. General atmosphere reminds me of DH which I also love but bigger, with faster lifts and newer everything. These pictures taken on March 20th

Had to switch plans at the last minute because Cascade was sold out and I now say we are lucky that was the case. Granite Peak was a lot of fun. Great variety of runs, low wait times, friendly staff and a beautiful area. Indoor facilities including dining and bar were decent quality and good service. Will definitely go back.

Nice park with native plants, green lawn, and a performance stage and seating. I appreciate that they also keep the walls shoveled and clear in winter. Be aware that there are 3 steps with railing on the walkway along the riverfront. If you are using a wheelchair you can reach the picnic tables by going around by the sidewalk along the parking area. There is also a deposit box for unfit flags that need proper disposal in the center of the park.

Visited the brewery and it certainly did not disappoint. The historic building, atmosphere and set back location are fantastic. In addition, the location (outdoors) is very much dog friendly as we enjoyed a number of beers and soda as our lab enjoyed the surroundings with us. The beer is outstanding along with the staff especially Ben the Brewmaster who came out and talked with us for a while. It just so happens we both own Fox Red Labradors in which one of the delicious beers is named after! We will travel the hour south again very soon to enjoy some more. (Also, as we were leaving a food truck was setting up. We hope to enjoy that part also during our next visit)

If I could give a 10-star review, I would! You cannot get a bad beer here - they have something for everyone and they are all delicious. We stop whenever we are in the area; sometimes we are in the area just to visit Sawmill, lol. The bartenders are friendly and knowledgeable about the beers, the atmosphere can't be beat, the grounds are great if you want to sit outside and they are dog-friendly. Highly, highly recommend a stop here!

This is a fun brewery with a lot of choices. They have a neat logo with a lot of gear to choose from. A lot of room in the upper level if the lower level is crowded. A little off the main street, so if you are new to the area pay attention to the gps. Plenty of parking. You can bring in your own food, and there are some basics like pizza too.

Got there just as they opened on a Saturday. Bartender was really nice. Bought a pullover and she was getting the correct size before I even asked. Beers were good. Would like to go there and be able to sit outside. It was raining while we were there. Nice place though, would definitely go back.

Sawmill Brewing was awesome. The atmosphere is great both inside and out. I love when they take an an old historic building at risk of being torn down and turn it into a brewery where everyone wants to know it's story. The service and patrons were great. They had a food cart on my stop which is a nice addition. For beer on my stop they had a blonde, an Irish, oatmeal stout, breakfast pastry sour, pilsner, brown, wheat, chocolate porter, Octoberfest, DIPA, English bitter, lemon lime lager, kettle sour, and a couple seltzers. Really cool place that can only exist in the north woods. Put it on your list.

I don’t think I can say enough good things about this theatre. I moved away for a few years and when I came back it was completely remodeled with an added auditorium. Very comfortable seats, big screen, perfect sound and don’t even get me started on the very low prices! The staff is always friendly and if you go there enough they know your order by heart and sometimes have it ready for you. They also give you a convienent tray to hold all your snacks in your arm rest. You do not get this type of VIP treatment at other theatres! Well done Cosmo!

We loved the beautiful trails, especially near the Grandfather Falls section of the Ice Age trail. Cell service is poor except near the shelter house. There are park benches and picnic tables where you can eat, run around or watch the wildlife, plus hiking, biking, picnicking, fishing, canoeing and kayaking. (Or just bring a good book!) Canoes are rented by the day, not the hour, which is good since you'll want to take some time paddling around all the gorgeous, calm water!

We came here for the day as we are passing through Wisconsin on our way back to Arizona. Don’t miss out on this park, folks!! It’s is absolutely breathtakingly beautiful. THE TREES - OMG.

Shilpa S — Google review
Camped here for a weekend. I'm not sure we will return. Sites were large and wooded and really nice. The restrooms and showers were old and not well maintained (I am assuming the brown stain on the back of the women's bathroom middle stall door that I stared at for 3 days was chocolate for my own piece of mind). At night many of the campers near us gathered in large family groups and had music blaring and kids shouting and screaming well past 11 pm. Quiet hours were not enforced. Not sure if there is even staff for that anymore. Enough to do at the park for a weekend but not much more. A few short hiking trails, a smallish beach. Playground is nice. Focus seems to be in bringing your boat to use on the river/lake. Kids had a blast looking for crayfish at night.

Stony Acre Farms offers a delightful farm-to-table dining experience that’s perfect for families or date nights. The fresh pizzas, topped with local meats and cheeses, are a definite highlight, and the extensive beer selection adds to the great atmosphere. One of the best parts about Stony Acre is the opportunity to explore the farm. Kids will love wandering around and seeing where their food comes from. With the added bonus of live music, Stony Acre Farms provides a fun and wholesome experience for everyone. It's a great spot to enjoy delicious food, local brews, and a bit of outdoor fun. On top of that the owner is enthusiastic about this farm which makes the experience even better. Wpuld definitely recommend!
Maris M — Google review
Our family had a great time at Stony Acres Farm! The pizza was excellent quality and there were a great selection of tasty beers. Prices are reasonable, but you're getting so much more than good pizza and beer at a restaurant. The seating is informal outdoors on the farm's lawn. Use their assorted tables and chairs in the vicinity of the pizza ovens, or bring your own chairs and picnic blanket for the lawn near the play equipment. Pizza assembly occurs out of site indoors, but the pizza is baked in three wood-fired pizza ovens in full view! There are lots of opportunities to see how the fresh ingredients are made on location, and there is also a sign board describing the origin of every ingredient category, including the pigs contributing to the sausage and pepperoni. Pretty much everything but the cheese comes from the farm itself! There is often live music, too. Sit further from the band if you have kids or seek a more reasonable conversation volume. There is even a small collection of playground equipment for the younger kids. Arrive early if you want your pick of seating locations. This place gets busy, and with good reason! 10/10 will return next time I'm in Central WI!

We've been coming here for years and it just keeps getting better and better. The music is always fantastic and the staff is friendly. The pizzas are all made with homegrown and unique ingredients and some may seem different at first but I've never been disappointed. Who would've guessed that hosta shoots would be delicious? Athen's Light, the Maple Dopplebock, and the Rhubarb IPA are all great, but you really can't go wrong with anything on their beer list. This place is family-friendly with a unique atmosphere that can't be beat.
Sam A — Google review
Stone Acres Farm makes great pizzas on Friday and Saturday nights! (Check their website for dates and times.) The pizzas are not cheap, most are around $22, but they are definitely worth it! The crust is thin but the pizzas are very filling. The menu includes creative pizza names with unique combinations of toppings. (Although you'll still find your standard pepperoni and sausage.) All of the ingredients are either grown on the farm or locally sourced, except for probably olive related ingredients. We bought 2 pizzas for 2 kids and 4 adults and had a few slices left over. At a pizza night, you get to experience being on a farm, seeing pigs and chickens, and sometimes you even get to listen to live music! They also have their own brewery.

A must see and a place definitely worth going out of the way to see! There is also a shop where you can purchase some of his wife's beautiful creations!

I come to Marshfield at least once a year during the summer. This is always on my to do list. The gentleman and lady that own and run the place are super nice. It's sort of like an interactive museum, but the exhibits are for sale. Remember to turn on Sugarbush. There's no signs for the place as far as I noticed.

Well worth your time to see. Walked through the at first and it was fun or as some say whimsical. Then talked to the owners and the husband takes you on a tour with funny stories based on the characters he has built out of scrap metals. After that we Walked through again and you notice more things tucked in that you missed the first time. Well worth the time.

Wildwood Zoo

Zoo
Zoos & Aquariums
Park
Easygoing locale with gardens, natural habitats & a drive-through exhibit of large animals.
A great little stop if you’re in the area and want to stretch your legs! This FREE zoo isn’t huge, but it’s well-kept and has 20+ animals—maybe more. We spent about 35 minutes walking through and really enjoyed the interactive water education area. It’s air-conditioned (which was a lifesaver in the nearly 100-degree heat) and full of fun, hands-on activities for kids, like buttons to make clouds rain and blockades to change water flow. We didn’t catch the bears due to the heat, but there was still plenty to see. Definitely worth a visit for a short, family-friendly outing.
Kelly T — Google review
We had a wonderful time at the zoo! 🦅🐻 You can see an amazing variety of wildlife, including majestic bald eagles, Kodiak and Alaska bears, playful foxes, and so much more. The place feels so fresh and open, with clean paths and plenty of shady spots to enjoy. It’s a great place to explore nature, learn about the animals, and just relax with family or friends. Definitely worth a visit if you’re looking for a fun, refreshing outdoor experience! 🌿✨

We have been going since before we had kids, and our oldest is 16. The zoo has gotten better and better, more animals, more exhibits, more great, helpful staff but has remained an awesome place to visit. Feeding the deer was an amazing experience 20+ years ago and our children are still amazed by it; now they get to feed the giraffes they were loving it. The parakeet exhibit was a hit too. The birds were so friendly, landed on everyone, everywhere, but nipped a little too. Our youngest didn't want to leave the exhibit, let alone the zoo. Even though it was raining. Totally worth it!

Normally not a huge fan of zoos. This is a refuge and rehab that is beautiful. The animals are well supported and exhibit normal behaviors! The Kodiak exhibit is incredible. Well worth the beautiful walk through the small park!

Very small but nice zoo. Not a whole lot of animals but what was there was neat to see. The cats were mostly hiding due to the hot day. The bear enclosure was cool to watch,they seemed very happy. Only took about 2 hours of a slow walk. There is an indoor children’s activity center but we did not checkout. Very much worth stopping and giving a donation to.
Annmarie M — Google review
This was a great place to stretch our legs on our road trip. The free zoo has a walking part and a driving section. There were only 2 groups of animals on the driving section. The habitats are nice for a smaller zoo.

We made a trip here before making our drive back home. Admission is free. Paths made easy for wheelchair to explore. Benches provided if you want to just sit and enjoy the nature surroundings. We didn’t get to see a lot of the animals at the time on our visit but we enjoyed the peaceful walk through.

Having never been here before I didn't know what to expect. It was much smaller than I thought it would be from the pictures online. However it was very beautiful surroundings and there were birds that I had never seen before in a natural habitat. Bald Eagles, Red-tailed Hawks, Snowy Owls and a Peregrine Falcon! I especially liked the Kodiak Bears!
Debra A — Google review
Perfect place for a family hike. Lots of trails that intersect with beautiful views of the lakes. The observation tower felt sturdy, my nerves were not😅The view was gorgeous, definitely worth coming back again in the Fall. Bathrooms were clean, our kids had fun at the playground and exploring. Hikes are kid friendly.
Kimi A — Google review
The highest point in Wisconsin, Timm's Hill is a nice park with great views, easy-going paths, and the wonderful sounds of nature. A short jaunt up to the tower provides phenomenal views of the rolling hills that go on for miles, and a couple of beautiful lakes. The path is normally easy to traverse, though I did have a pretty difficult time breathing due to the smoke from the Canadian wildfires this time around. There is a nice playground area here, plenty of parking, vault toilets, a shelter with picnic tables and grills (and electric), an easy path up to the tower and down to the lake, and additional trails through the woods that meet up with the Ice Age Trail. I did not pick a great day to come here, as the smoke from the wildfires was pretty horrendous, but still had an enjoyable time despite the trouble breathing. The bugs weren't bad, and I didn't get any ticks, though I did not take the trail through the woods this time around like I had originally planned. Well worth visiting! I believe this is a destination everybody should see at some point.
Nathan F — Google review
Yep, scratched off another Bucket List item. Wisconsin’s highest point. This was way better than I expected. I walked up to the top and was thinking there are too many tall trees to get a good view here. Well, would you look at this really nice tower they built for us. The only thing taller here is the old Ranger lookout tower. You can leave your name on the Register in the mailbox if you’d like. Lol. Don’t forget to bring a sack lunch, or something to grill, and a paddle lock with you to leave something here to say that you’ve been here. Now I have to go back because I didn’t know that was a thing. I will return. Enjoy…

I have had pizza, fried chicken wings, and french fries here and they were all very good. The pizza was especially tasty. I really haven't had pizza hit the spot quite like that pizza did. Local cheese is used of course -- the gooey richness is something I still dream about. And just when I thought that pizza would be my favorite item here, on a separate occasion I had the fried chicken wings (with the bone), which were shockingly good. The skin was so light and salty, and there was a great crunch to it. The food here is absolutely 💯.
Julie D — Google review
Got take out. It was expensive and rather disappointing. I don’t think my family will be back. They forgot to put stuff on the food that was suppose to be on it. The loaded fries were missing bacon and the pork sandwich was missing the coleslaw. The mac n cheese bites were burnt and dry as well. It wasn’t a very busy night either so not sure why it was disappointing.

Putting that place together.I'm gonna go back and I will be buying one of those stones with the names on it and my name will be on 1 God bless those people I would recommend this so highly , I can't speak enough.About them Everything. Is free except the gift shop but they have a museum. There very well kept up. My Lord is just gorgeous. I can't say enough. God bless.

This is the best veteran's memorial location I have ever visited! Hands-down! So well done. If you have veteran friends or family....take them there (if they want to go). This place is beautiful and touching and historically educational. The thought and attention that has gone into this vision is incredible. I will go back. I want to take my Mom there. My dad and two of my uncles were WWII veterans and Mom and I will go and "think of them."

I love this winery! I came here last summer and had to come back! I did wine tasting, they have a lot of options to try! Then I got a flight with my favorites from the tasting and a large pretzel and flatbread!
Brianna K — Google review
Wine was ok. Nice place nice people. Nice atmosphere. Problem here was the gluten free issue. One minute trusted them with gluten free issue. 30 minutes in...trust was uncertain. This was over a cracker issue. Long story. Change of staff... anyway just becareful because some know what is going on and some are confused. It takes me around 2 hours to react. And though it wasn't the worst reaction I was feeling pretty bad and it could have been due to the crackers. Just FYI. Other than that nice place.
Robin K — Google review
Very nice atmosphere. Great staff, great prices. The wine was very good. --I talked with some of the staff, and they tell me the winery was started 16 years ago this year. Sadly they are looking to sell the property. By next year this winery may not exist anymore. Due to the owner having medical issues that they have to deal with. It would be sad to see such a beautiful spot disappear. I would highly recommend checking them out before that happens. It is unknown if the new owners will want to continue the winery or not they may just want to use the land. I have included a wide variety of photos I hope they help encourage you to stop by and pick up or try some of their wine before it's no longer available.

Munson Bridge knows how to throw a party! We were there for a band on a Saturday night in June. The band was excellent and the wine was delicious! They brought in a food truck and a cheesecake truck for the event. Even though it rained (which we desperately needed), we stayed warm and dry under the tent. The winery itself during the day was great. The woman serving us our tastings was timely and helpful. The check out process was quick and easy. Bottles are $15 each. You can get a glass or a bottle to take outside and enjoy on the beautiful grounds. Highly recommend!

It’s become tradition to stop into Munson Bridge winery on our way to our girls trip destination. The staff is always delightful, the wines are great, and the snacks are delectable!

Such a fun place, we didn't have our kids with on this stop but it would be such a great place to stop and let your kids explore. From the massive bubble trampoline, to the pedal go carts, soccer nets and you can watch them milk the cows, make delicious cheese and much more. When you walk in they have a cute little gift shop area, with wine, cheese and other goodies. If you keep walking they have cheese samples and a cafe/ restaurant. I bought a latte and a sandwich and it was seriously so good that I already want to go back. Definitely a must stop here!

Stopped as a road side stop on a road trip to see the giant cow. There is a very clean and nice tractor playground and a bounce pad that looks like cheese. We got to go in and see the milking of the cows. And we got to ride little bikes around a track! That was super fun for the kids and myself! Great stop with food, small souvenir things, and even restrooms. Kids get the energy out, parents enjoy a moment.

This was Awesome! We didn't exactly eat here but we did get lots of cheeses and based off the ones we got to try they are all Fabulous! We missed the tour they do 2 a day at 9am & 1pm, cost is $10 a person. However we did get to walk around and see the cows being milked and visit with the calves. It's a very well run and taken care of dairy farm and cheese factory. Don't miss it!

This was an interesting stop, we bought a bunch of cheeses to take home, all of which we have enjoyed so far! Our food was good in the cafe, but nothing mind blowing. While I would definitely buy packaged cheese there again, I don't feel like I need to eat at the cafe again specifically. It was fun to watch the cows get milked and see the racks of cheese wheels.

Brunet Island State Park

State park

1,300-acre park on the Chippewa & Fisher rivers, offering camping, fishing, boating & hiking trails.
It smells so good here! Almost more Autumn than Spring going into Summer. It was wonderful! I spent all of my time in the island (didn't have enough time for the Nordic Trail), but it was still well worth visiting. Beautiful area, lots of campsites with water access, plenty of parking and restrooms. There's a small beach, a playground area, a ball field, and easy-going hiking trails. Though we're still not in bloom, I recommend traversing the entire island to take in everything there is to offer. There are great water views all around, and plenty of wildlife running around. A few small flowers popping up here and there. The flying insects were not bad at all, and I had no ticks from my time here. Well worth visiting! Seems like an ideal place to camp and bring kayaks or a canoe.

Great camping ground for bonding and great times! Located near a VERY small town, making it very chill! At our camp site, there was lots of cute chipmunks! The only thing I disagree with is the 2 showers/flush bathrooms (1 bathroom with flush and shower and 1 that’s just flush) in an area with a bunch of RVs with showers and I would just suggest at the showers/flush bathrooms should be in the campsites with no access to showers and no pit bathrooms. Overall a very good area for kids and families!

Awesome State Park! Love being able to camp right near the water. Campground was clean and spacious and most importantly dog friendly 😁👍🐕‍🦺 When I took my dog out at 5 am, and walked towards the bridge I heard a big plunk in the water. It was a deer swimming across to an island. He got out snorted and ran off. It was so cool. Will definitely camp here again!
Teri C — Google review
Wonderful time here. Two sides to the park with electricity available on one side . Lot sides vary with options for tent or camper but we had gotten 2 next to each other offering plenty of space .Each lot could have up to 6 people and up to 2 tents. A table and a firepit was on each site . There are very nice paved roads.The little town of Cornell is near by. The ice cream shop that serves cheese, ice cream and food is a must visit Overall it's been a wonderful camping experience and would definitely like to return. Last thought, we went during the week so was much quieter and less expensive. We were other north side with no electricity and were frequently visited at night with a mama racoon and three babies. We also saw deer which was fun to watch.
