We were looking for something to do on a rainy day while camping in Hudson. This place was so worth the drive! Everyone was helpful and welcoming. Dawn took great care of us, she was very personable and had good suggestions . As far as the wine goes, there was a lengthy list of fantastic options. We especially loved their specialty wines! The setting is also gorgeous. We will be back next time we're in the area!

The food pairing was a very nice touch! Good variety of white, red and port wines to try. Beautiful patio & venue. Let's just we came home with a case of wine & a wine club member.

We enjoyed a lovely September afternoon listening to music from the 60s, drinking some wine, and eating some pizza. Becky was very helpful in explaining the wines and the food.

Lovely spot with delicious wine! Got a paired flight, which came with 5 wine samples and some small food pairings for $24. Cute spot with super friendly staff!

Darla was an absolute gem! She was very knowledgeable and super friendly, all of the wines on our flights were amazing, and the pizza was phenomenal! Thanks for the experience Dragonfly, keep it up!

Very nice classy winery great gift ideas also.. huge selection of diff types of wines..award winning as well!!; great small plates if need a bite as well. Indoor outdoor seating.. beautiful location

The winery is beautiful, the wine was very good and the food was very tasty. Everything was reasonably priced. We were going to visit another winery but because Sue was so helpful and fun we decided to stay. So glad we did. Definitely will be back!!

Our camping group, Camping in Uranus had a road trip to Montana from Indiana. This was our first stop. Nice place to camp. Bathrooms were decently clean. Our site was a little small but I’m sure we got one of the last few so we made it work. The hiking trails are pretty cool. I liked the pothole trail. The lookout is amazing. The potholes are interesting at least. They have a ferry on the other side I would like to try out sometime. Enjoyed the little time I spent here. I would come back again.

This is one of the most beautiful parks we've stayed at. Our site was fairly private with a beautiful view. No water hookups at the site, so we had to fill our fresh water tank, but that was a rookie mistake on our part. They have a fill station, so it wasn't a big deal. We really enjoyed our time, and will definitely camp here again.

Probably top 3 prettiest WI state parks that we have visited. Beautiful views of the river and gorge from multiple trails. Walking through the rock formations was fun for us and the dog. Loved it!

We had a great experience camping at interstate park. We had an electric site for our travel trailer. Office was extremely friendly. Water, showers and toilet was off due to late in season.but the outhouse were clean and stocked. Our site was exceptional with a slite grade to it. Under tree cover. Plenty wide and deep. Our son is disables and we went on a loop trail that was difficult for a small scooter. But really that's why we went... We had more fun getting unstuck from roots rocks and soft soil. Our scooter wasn't designed for what we were doing! Lol we even got stuck in some wet leaves. Bottom line the vews were extraordinary! Accomodations excellent including the fire pits being placed in great location! Will be back... With a more appropriate scooter. Thank you to the staff! You guys helped us out immensely with all the questions we had!

We came here during labor day weekend and what a beautiful place to hike, the terrain was rough at times, but we took it as a challenge, hiked both ways. We stoped Taylor falls boat launch for pizza, to refuel us for the hike back. We enjoyed our stay there. Anyone looking for a great place to relax and take in a beautiful waterfall, go to Willow River state park in Wisconsin where you’ll find an amazing willow Falls . The steep path leading to it is worth the jaunt.

Great Time! I hiked over from the Minnesota side of Interstate State Park. The River trail meets up where the Glacier Potholes are. I loved scrambling on the rocks and the views of the St. Croix River. You can take the River Trail across the bridge to the Minnesota side if you want to launch a kayak or a canoe. There is more hiking available in the Dalles of St. Croix. I did not do that hike but it looked amazing so I will have to try it next time I am in the area.

A couple of my friends and I camped here for one night while passing through Wisconsin. We only hiked a little, but enjoyed the areas we saw. There were trails not far from our campsite. No issues with anything at the campground.

Love this place!! We go here yearly, more than once usually. Great for families, dates, or girls day out. The wider clear paths is much more handicap accessible and the new buildings are very nicely setup. Highly recommend Bonus.... 1st time I had Canadian Geese (3) eat directly from my hand!!

Such a great place to visit when you are in the area. The amount of wildlife to engage with us awesome. The kids get to be up close and personal with deer and many others. There have been a lot of really nice updates to the place over the years. The food trucks outside are also a great way to grab a treat with the kids after for the drive home.

It was so much fun. We love it, and this is my first time feeding the deer. The staff members were so friendly and well-mannered. Every section was well-maintained, and the animals were also welcoming to people. I would love to visit again and definitely recommend that people see this awesome place.

So much fun we try to go every year but been a few since we been. They have done a lot of updating and lots of fun new exhibits. They do amazing job to keep things clean and fun for the family. I definitely recommend this place for the family day, date night or just yourself!

Oh my goodness this place is amazing That's all I can say The animals the property the scenery the staff it's such a wonderful fun place to go. My wife and I take our special needs disabled child there and he absolutely loves it All the goats make him giggle and he loves to follow the birds around the pond everywhere. For privacy I won't include pictures of my child but there's tons of them hanging out with the deer and the birds.

I really liked how clean the little zoo/ animal park was. The staff are lovely. My concern is they're selling food to everyone that walks through the door and some of the animals are being forcefed or overeating and don't look super healthy. I feel like there should be a cap on all the food that is being brought to these animals that are in captivity. Great family. Interactive experience but I would probably knowing now having been there. Never buy food again

We visited today 09-01-2025. We had a great time. There's been improvements on the walking trails I've noticed since our last visit. Plenty of well fed looking animals to see and pet. The only concern we had was one of the badgers today was pacing around in the enclosure. At each corner, he'd arch his back up then scurry off around to the next corner. Hopefully he's been evaluated and isn't experiencing a medical issue. Plenty of restrooms around and wash stations. Benches and swings throughout the grounds. The family who owns this facility cares about the animals and grounds. It shows.

LOVE this winery, especially the Detroit style pizza that was served on Saturday during our visit. The cook and staff were so friendly!!!! The savory pizza complemented the Cabernet very nicely. The pizza was incredibly tasty and the golden crusted cheese on the edges enhanced the flavor! We will definitely be back! My husband even said it was absolutely worth the drive and he doesn’t even drink wine. Great selection of drinks for every palette! Thank you for such a pleasurable experience!!!! I'd give 10 stars if it was possible. 🤩🍷

We came here very early, almost as they opened. I thought it might have views of the river. It does not, but it has views of vast fields and the vineyard. We didn't stay indoors because it was a gorgeous summer day but theybhave a nice dining room inside befitting the "chateau" name. Outdoors, they have a patio up front and a covered dining area in the back, where we chose to plant ourselves. I got the wine tasting sampler where they give you 5 tokens that you can use to sample _any_ wine on the list! I like that because I really wanted a slushie but I wanted to sample the wines that I might try to bring home. The lady at the counter was super nice and I tried 2 white wines, a dessert red, a rose and the slushie! We also had flatbreads and the meat and cheese board. If we had come later, the live music would've made it perfect. I really like that they serve light food here because that's part and parcel of a good winery experience...

Must visit winery! My husband and I stopped here for an afternoon & loved this spot. Beautiful views and scenic spots outdoors, yet the inside was equally as charming with the chateau vibes. Wine was excellent - especially the full bodied reds (Marco V). Would 10/10 recommend!

Had a great time for a few hours at Chateau St Croix Winery on a Monday. The staff was wonderful and explained everything to us about the wines and ports. Great recommendations. They do serve food and they have plenty of light options available. Including cheese platters. They have Happy Hour on Fridays! Outside there is cute Al fresco dining at the entrance patio and covered area in the back. Location is spot on with Google maps, but very few signs prior. Parking is free and plentiful Highly recommend a stop and a tasting!

This is a beautiful estate, and hey, they serve wine! It's got an old-school castle 🏰 vibe. They give you tokens for tastings so you can take your time and grab your next drink at your leisure. We hopped around and sat in all the different areas each time we started a new tasting. Overall, it was a very good experience and we will visit anytime we are in the area.

Anna and Irv are so amazing and the sweetest people you could ever meet. The wine is amazing and they have beer. The food is great doesn't matter if you have sweatpants or a suit they welcome everyone. Please come check them out and support them. Awesome and relaxing atmosphere.

Two stars mostly for the chaos and rudeness of two employees. Came in at a very busy time on a Saturday, 9/6, and it seemed pretty chaotic and it was unclear who to go to for what. At one time there were four employees behind the wine bar and no one at the food counter to take our slips. Waited a good ten minutes and had to wave down the cook who was standing behind the wine bar. She is NOT very pleasant at all, rude and offered no apology or concern about how long we had been waiting. Keep in mind, we already paid AND tipped. Suckered. Inquired on pizza because there's no list of flavors. A woman with dark hair helping us called over another employee, Jan, who tossed an ad for pizza at us, but still no list of what kinds offered. When asked what kind of pizzas there were, Jan just walked away. The woman helping us seemed embarrassed and apologized and suggested we ask the, Neena, the cook. When we came up to get another sample, Jan made us go back and get our dirty glasses to reuse. The food prices are up there, good food when we finally got it, but having to be your own server/busser at those prices is pretty lame, ESPECIALLY when they expect tips! So all they're doing is pouring wine and it's that chaotic??? Two girls seemed to be on it, the other two (Jan and the cook) looked to be in the way and again, rude. Really good wine, though. Probably won't return and sit in as there seems to be little structure, the rudeness is unwelcoming, and in a place like with the prices they ask, we don't expect to wait on ourselves or clean up. Might pick up a bottle of wine here and there.

The visitor center itself is really nice and has lots of information. There is a short walk to a small overlook park where you can partially see the St Croix Dam, but you need to go to the other side of the river to see it properly. I think this could have been better located. Worth a stop if you are passing.

Free entry NPS visitor center with beautiful grounds located right on the river. Passport stamps available inside. Free parking lot.

This is a well kept area and the ranger was super helpful. Fun interactive learning points for the kids too! I enjoyed it. Seeing the park and doing some paths were nice too

Great areas to learn more about the area. They had a nice informational video going over the history of the river. Fun interactive activities for the kids.

Great experience, worth a stop at if in the area. Staff was very knowledgeable and taught us all about the importance of the river. Don't forget to get your junior ranger badge!

Wonderful place to learn about the river, the community and heritage. Informative and beautifully filmed short story presented. The facility itself is gorgeous. Well done!

The staff is friendly but there's just not much to see. You can get your national park passport stamp here but they don't carry any of the stickers. They do have a small stream right outside & the building that flows into the St. Croix River.

I love your venue, but my experience was impacted by talkative guests. First I made eye contact with the disrupter, second I put my pointer finger over my lips, third I whispered during a scene change to please stop talking. They didn’t stop. I reported it during intermission, and unfortunately no one addressed it— while walking back to my seat, I heard one usher talk to another usher about locating the disruptors. Since I sat close to them, no one approached them that I could see and they never stopped talking during the second half of the show. I hope staff can be empowered to intervene more effectively in the future. As it stands this moment, I’m not sure I’ll be back. My night was ruined and I drove from Minneapolis to see this show when I’m a HUGE fan of Holmes and Watson stories.

We went to see Holmes and Watson. It was lovely, funny, witty, smart and so well acted. Thank you for making it so easy to come to an excellent venue with professional actors for a reasonable price. All 5 of us were able to sit together and the lighting and sound were fabulous. Thank you

Came up to see a Shakespeare performance and was not disappointed! This theater is not the largest but I have seen smaller performances on much larger stages. The cast and performances made this production feel like a large stage and not at all what you would expect from a typical community theater. Local performers and performers that were brought in from different parts of the country. Hard to tell that the cast hasn't known each other forever. Great chemistry - Outstanding characters. Very impressed with the whole experience. Already have tickets for the next show!!!

We went here for Friday night improv night and laughed the entire time. Improv starts at 9pm after Music On the Overlook These actors will entertain you and have you coming back for more. We plan to go back and bring others with us..

The atmosphere was great we watched Narnia the play was exilent highly recommend comming

Wonderful live theater productions in a small-town setting. This theater consistently punches far above its weight!

I've been going to St. Croix Festival Theater for more than 30 years. They continue to provide the very best in community theater with fresh, intelligent, and often delightfully funny productions. Last night's performance got a standing ovation from almost the entire audience.

A great canoe rental! Ending your trip at the rental meetup is a great way to not stress about hitting a shuttle time window. Open later in the season than other rentals. Very responsive to calls and call backs

We LOVE Eric's Canoe and Kayak! We have done 3 different excursions and they have all been fantastic! A day trip, a 10 mile overnight camping trip and a 20 mile overnight camping trip. Our favorite has been the Wild River Landing to Taylor's Falls Dam 10 mile overnight camping trip! There are 12 private campsites to choose from and we saw a lot of turtles and bald eagles. Some of our favorite memories have come from renting from Eric! Thank you Eric!

Excellent experience. Not sure what people are complaining about in other reviews. Sure the equipment looks used, but that's what happens when you are a popular business. It was all functional and the canoes stayed afloat. Guess some folks just need to have everything be brand new and that makes owning a business hard. As for having to out you canoes away yourself people are ridiculous. You carry it 10' from the water to a stack and he asked you to out your life vest and oar into a shed. If you cannot do that as an adult then you shouldn't be out on the water. Eric was incredibly friendly to us and explained everything really well. Gave us a 5 minute safety talk about the nearby dam and left us to the river. I couldn't disagree more with the people saying he is rude or slow. Eric does a great job. 5 stars from me no question!

If you find yourself “up a creek without a paddle” (or forgot the paddles at home) call Eric and he’ll meet you at the landing with paddles. Eric saves our planned weekend of paddling the St. Croix River. What a great guy. Next time we will use his shuttle too.

Reserved a short-notice kayaking trip late the night before, and Eric ensured I was set up with all required safety gear and launched on time. The kayaks are excellent beginner models that track well and handle the river's wind-blown chop.

Great renting experience! Would highly recommend to anyone! Equipment is in good condition and the end/landing experience is extremely convenient. A couple things to keep in mind when renting from Eric: He basically runs the show alone meaning a little patience, understanding, and communication go a long way. If you do go during a slow time, he isn't going to standing there waiting for you. If you go during a busy time, he may be relying on local youth and seasonal workers (potentially less reliably) for help as employees. He has no control over the river conditions, camping, or weather so do your research. To that point, all dams basically create a lake which means the water comes to a standstill. Expect to do more and more paddling as you get nearer to Taylor's Falls. Most of the camping sights are first come first serve. This is a canoe and kayak rental and not a personal guide and river chauffeur service so you are on your own and any additional information or assistance is him just being a nice guy. He picks you up, drives you up river with your canoe(s) and or Kayak(s) with their paddles and life vests, and then drops you off.

Five of us rented kayaks from Eric for a 10-mile paddle down the St. Croix. We had a great time and were very happy with the service! The gear was older but all in good condition, and Eric was friendly and professional. Would recommend for anyone in the area who wants to enjoy an outdoorsy day trip without feeling micromanaged. (Edited to fix a typo)

Small little information center right next to the police station, and there's a little old grandmother type lady working the counter who smiles a lot and is very nice. She is a fountain of knowledge, and I had five minutes to kill, so she told me all she knew! The signs appear to contradict?

A 56 minute ride to meet 5 other relatives here. We took a 3.4 mile walk on a busy Saturday. Beautiful fall colors. The woman at the Polk County Information Center was very knowledgeable about the trails, and initiated conversation about the area. We had a really good day.

The lady working there was super nice and had tons of information to share with us. There are plenty of brochures to learn about the area and easy to get to. FYI. Had some lovely items by locals for sale. Some of the brochures were out of date. It is located in the same building as the city, just a fyi.

Great knowledge of local places to see and go. Very friendly. Really helped us plan our day out.

Nice selection of brochures. Good detailed maps. Excellent ideas for things to see.

The best information center around. They are so helpful and there is great handmade trinkets and gifts:)

Excellent information, friendly staff, nice selection of area gifts.

Bloody Mary’s: the reason we stopped. Missed breakfast but had a great Philly sandwich and fries. Wife had the steak bites and onion rings. Great food, fast service. Will be back!

Stopped in on a Tuesday. They offered a pizza deal, so we gave it a try. Pizza and wings were really good and the beer was really cold. Bartender and patrons were all very nice. We were in town hiking the Ice Age Trail and were given lots of good advice. Definitely will be back.

Ugh im so gonna sound like a katen here... But I am never going back to Loggers 1st time in 2024 My friend and I were doing the Mammoth ice age trail and decided to stop here for lunch. The waitress "E". Didn't know what trail magic was. Charges us for refills and gave us no discount. For the trail magic & it was clearly on the entry door. Gave it a 2nd chance with friends this time 2025 for the MAmmoth hike trail again and the waitress "H" Didn't ask to split the check but adked other tables. We haf to adk at leadt 2x to split it, I asked twice for a to go box and my friends refill he never received. These waitresses need better training. I was a waitress and knew better. They were more like space cadets. Just like the sign says by the door. Cold beer, lousy food and poor service. Its soo true! Please do better... Update: To the owner's response. We did get charged for the refill and we all had patience n I always give benefit of doubt. Thats why I want back a 2nd time. Small things go a long way like details. It took at least 3x asking for something. We also were there both times on a weekend. But besides all that I understand things get busy and things get forgotten. Its all a learning thing for everyone.Thank you for the feedback. 😀

This seems like a really nice place and also a very busy one. We only wanted a place to get a beer and a snack. We got the beer and an order of cheese curds. The Cheese Curds were a fairly big order and with that we were not able to finish them. The bar had drink coolers built in which is something I had not seen before and for the most part I didn't leave my beer long enough to get warm. I would come back to this location if I was traveling through again since the food smelled good and the staff was friendly.

Atmosphere matched to name of the place. Log cabin sports bar. Service was really good. The poutine gravy was good, unfortunately they battered the curds so it wasn't a traditional poutine which is what I prefer.

Great experience overall. Our server, Marcia, was very informative as to the menu and possible recommendations. She did a great job. Look forward to out next visit. Thanks!

We were on a mini vacation and stopped here for dinner. Overall, pretty average for a bar and grill. The tots and sauces were good. It looses a star because my chicken breasts were bland and flavorless. But, my daughter did eat most of her chicken strip meal, which is saying something.

Nice course, nice people. The greens were in immaculate condition. You can't beat the price either.

Inexpensive 9 hole golf course. Only $15 for 9 holes on the weekends. Course was green and looked nice. No major brown spots, but s few crabgrass spots. Most of the greens were in good shape and they were very soft and slower than most other courses. Very friendly staff.

No sandtraps is what saves this course... That being said, the putting greens are on deaths door, the golf carts are ancient, and the rates are higher than other courses in the area. The course is a fun challenge but not worth it unless you find other ways to have fun while playing here.

Cool little place. Great prices and quite a challenging lay with the elevations. Would definitely recommend it. Only 9 holes which I didn’t realize going in. But it was fun enough on the second play around.

Greens are severely damaged, course has great potential. I can see why it is for sale, although I'm surprised a major hotel or private equity group hasn't bought it.

Grossly overpriced considering the terrible course conditions. Very disappointing.

Great little course. Forgiving long shots, good practice for the short game with the smaller greens. Course was in great shape considering the price point.

My husband and I were celebrating our wedding anniversary and decided to go mini golfing. We showed up late and Doug greeted us and let us know they were just closing up. BUT….Instead of turning us away, Doug went above and beyond and allowed us to play our round. Our experience was amazing! The customer service and course itself made our weekend! Highly recommend and we will be returning with all our friends and family! Thanks Doug!!

Complete rip off! What a joke! Way over priced to start with. $15.00 per person for go carts to take 10 laps. They called us in after 7 laps. Our youngest was going slower and was called in after 5 laps. The go carts are throttled back and very slow. I would not recommend this place. Not the place to take your kids for a fun time.

My wife and I were frantically trying to find something fun to do for our anniversary and we stumbled upon mt croix and unbeknownst to us they had “closed” right when we got there, the owner offered to let us play for free and to just park outside the gate so they could lock up properly. They didn’t have to do that and it meant the world to us, thank you Doug. You have earned our family’s business for many years!

This is the best mini golf course in the area. It's true it could use some updates and repair, but the course is completely functional and fairly challenging. Our kids had fun, and the price seemed fair. The attendant was helpful and pleasant enough. We will return!

If I could give zero stars, I would. There was no safety on the Go-kart, the brakes did not work well when I had used them, and the barriers were not even a whole foot tall. During my time on the Go-kart I had tried to brake so I wouldn't hit the barrier and I had ended up going over and through the chain link fence over them. I now have a broken thumb, many cuts and bruises on my face and head, shoulder, and legs.

Fun place. Mini golf and go carts. Good pricing.

Great place for family fun or a date night! Tasty food, fast go-carts and a fun mini-golf course!

Fun shop.

Always find something in there. Love their prices! I find some great flannel shirts that I just can't pass up because the prices are so good. Plus the shirts are great!

I like it! Wish there were more vintage clothes sold and things that would peak the interest of people in their 20s. Love vintage and antiques myself but my sister is more into boutiques because of the clothing. More clothes and vintage purses/shoes would have drawn her in.

Open daily at 10am. Cute things always changing.

Nice store but the energy in there is pretty intense. Not sure if it's from the stuff inside or the power lines out back. I got pretty woozy, especially on the deck out back, but I assume that was mainly from the power lines.

A fun place to shop. Items are changing all the time.

This is a very pleasant, unique shop. There are a number of different vendors set up within the store. So, quite a variety of items for sale.

Cute store with lots of delightful items. Mugs, candles, stickers, books, decor, candy, coffee, rock towers, insects, accessories, jewelry, and so much more.

Stopped in on Saturday as I was wondering killing time. What a great shop. I did a quick walk through then went back and took a closer look at products and ended up buying a few things. Was really happy I stopped and took time to look and shop. The owners are awesome and were great to chat with. Take time to stop in but take time to look and seriously shop.

What a wonderful and unique shop. The proprietors are nice and excited about what they have. There are candles, signs, tea towels, candy, these wonderful little electric candles with timers. Just a lot of unique items. With a fae, cryptic, horror, whimsical decor. I definitely recommend stopping in.

I really do enjoy their products. It's a lovely store.

Stopped in here twice during a recent trip to Lindström. Absolutely loved the vibes and the things they had for sale. I left with a great little haul and I’m looking forward to going back for more!

Friendly staff and very cute gifts and trinquetes.

Such a gem to have in Lindstrom!

We found this place on drive looking at fall colors and glad we did. The brisket burger was amazingly delicious and so was the Rubin. We found out they are both smoked in house and definitely with love. We will be back.

A unique location. Place has cool vib. I drive 75 mikes one way a few times a summer to enjoy the amazing burgers. Always enjoy the staff's service! A great motorcycle ride for lunch destination.

Fantastic place to spend Easter Sunday! Incredible food and fantastic people to celebrate with! Highly recommended at any time for a visit! Mother's day buffet was a smashing mouth-watering success! The homemade dishes are second to none! Fantastic job!! Looking forward to celebrating Father's day with you too!

A great place for a drink, a bite, or to hang out with friends. Feels like coming home. The owners are great people that care about people. Decorated beautifully too!!

Great little bar in the country. We always enjoy it on our rides. Great food. Great people.

Great food and drinks, and right on the trail, horses, ATVs, snowmobiles. Won't be long before we return. Go for the Wolf Burger, brisket, bacon and baked beans. 😋

I really enjoy taking friends and family here. Everyone loves it! Great job “Howlin Wolf Creek”
