Looking to get out of Iowa but have no idea where to go? Wisconsin is a great option! With many family attractions all within a few hours of Iowa City, how much better can it get.
Here are three family-friendly places in Wisconsin you can visit...
1. Prairie du Chein
Being just 98 miles from Iowa City, making it around a 2-hour drive, Prairie du Chein is a great day trip option. For the history buffs, you could visit the Fort Crawford Museum which began as a United States Army outpost in the 19th century or The Villa Louis estate which is a National Historic Landmark found on St. Feriole Island.
If you are looking for a bit more excitement, Prairie Fun Land would be an awesome stop for you. With a Go-Kart track, mini-golf course, arcade, bumper cars, a bounce house, water wars, and driving range plus many other games, the whole family can have some fun.
There are also many amazing attractions, shops, and restaurants your family will run out of time before you see it all!
2. La Crosse
If you enjoy nature then La Crosse needs to be on your "to see" list. Grandad Bluff is 590 feet above the city and offers beautiful scenic views below of La Crosse, with all the trails and nature being perfectly picturesque also. Make sure to check out Riverside Park, where 3 separate rivers meet at a gorgeous downtown park and is also the home of the International Friendship Gardens.
3. Wisconsin Dells
The Dells is called the waterpark capital for a reason! With countless water parks, you will be easily able to find a park to fit your family's wants and needs.
There are tons to do besides water parks while visiting. Stop by ADare Go Carts or BigFoot Ropes Course to catch some thrills or plan a visit to Dells Mining Company where you can find a new sparkly crystal to add to your collection.
Plus the many zip lines, boat tours, and many other attractions will keep your family busy from morning till night.
