    Wow, Medford, nicely done! I grew up in Medford and when my sister and I come back to visit now…read morewith our own kids, there aren't a lot of options for indoor activities when the weather is bad and/or the kids are stir-crazy. I heard about Huey's a year or so ago when it opened and we were finally able to stop in the Friday after Thanksgiving around 10am. For the first 30 min or so, we had the whole place to ourselves after which several other families came to play. Huey's is new, bright, very clean and has great facilities for nursing/restrooms, and activity area for classes/camp activities and birthday parties. There are two floors of play areas with an elevator available for those in need. The size feels just right for the area, not enormous, but certainly big enough for 20-25 kids to play at one time. I can't stress enough the quality of the exhibits/play areas here. Most of the play areas are right on par with large city children's museums. We live in Madison and Cleveland now, respectively, and visit the CMs there and we were both quite impressed with the offerings at Huey's. No, there isn't an enormous, elaborate climbing gym or a water play room here, but that sort of thing would bust almost any budget and - let's be honest - the kids don't care as long as what IS there is fun and new and that is definitely true of Huey's. I love that Huey's isn't trying to copy other places, but rather to highlight attributes of the Taylor County area like agriculture, manufacturing, and the outdoors which are the focus of several exhibits. There are the standard exhibits like grocery store and doctors office which are very well done, but also some great unique ones. Our favorites were the barn/chicken coop area, the fishing pond, dentist office and the hair salon! There is even a great little gift shop area with adorable Huey's merchandise for purchase along with a nice assortment of educational toys and of course SNACKS. There are a couple of small picky things I'd improve: - moving the pretend flower garden lower to the floor since at the age of kids likely to play with this they are too short to reach - fix up the dark room area as some of the exhibits didn't seem to work and the pipe wall was missing several magnets Overall Huey's is a breath of fresh air that you won't find the likes of almost anywhere in Northern Wisconsin. This place is such an amazing addition to my hometown and a high-quality, affordable afternoon of fun for the kids. Definitely recommend making a stop there if you're in town and even driving in from surrounding areas for a day trip; you won't be disappointed.

    My very first Oshkosh in the books! Holy moly I was not prepared for just how massive this airshow…read moreis. We came on a weekday morning with 3 toddlers who were very excited to see some airplanes, and that's exactly what they did! There was thousands of them! If you or someone in your family is a fan of airplanes/helicopters, this is the place for you. We had so much fun touring the different aircrafts, watching the planes and helicopters fly, and people watching! The parking situation at the designated lot was easy, and from there they have buses running to the actual show grounds. This space is HUGE -- wear comfortable shoes! There are trams running periodically up and down the main road, but once it becomes busy they are few and far between - we ended up walking all of it (with a wagon for the kiddos). We probably experienced 5% of the offerings at the airshow, but wow did we have fun. If you've got a toddler, I recommend grabbing some noise cancelling headphones so they can enjoy the fighter jets if you're lucky enough to catch a show! We enjoyed some popcorn, ice cream, pretzels, and frozen lemonade while wandering around. Delicious classic fair food that was reasonably priced. We can't wait to come back as our son gets older and continue to make memories here!

    If you love airplane history this is the place for you. The museum focuses on the aircrafts but…read moredoes include stories of several famous pilots throughout history. They also partner with the airport to offer Young Eagle flights for children. If you visit outside of AirVenture then you'll practically have the place to yourself. Pro Tip: Join EAA and with their reciprocal museum benefits you can visit hundreds of science museums across the nation.

    Who knew you could find an outstanding art museum on the way to Northern Wisconsin. My wife had…read morebeen to the Woodson Art Museum a couple of years ago and suggested that we stopped as we passed through Wausau. The Woodson family were rich dudes who are from Wausau and when they wanted to do something with all their money, they turned their estate into an art museum. The main focus of this museum is on birds. Bird drawings, Bird pictures, bird sculptures, the gardens are filled with various sculptures including Birds. The museum is beautiful, the grounds are exquisitely nice. They would be a great setting for a movie or maybe your wedding. But, truthfully, although the paintings and pictures were wonderful after seeing the hundredth picture of birds I knew I had enough. However if you are an aficionado of paintings, sculpture and birds this is a must-see museum. The museum is free and the staff is helpful. I was a little bummed that the museum shop only sold postcards and books. I'm sure if they sold faux paintings and faux sculptures they could make a killing. This museum is highly recommended. If you are in Wisconsin or near Wausau it's worth your time.
