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.

We will do our best to match any competitor's bid for your project. Bring us your plans and we may be able to provide you with alternatives to find you a lower estimate for your project. Creating a beautiful project for our customers is what our mission involves and customer service is extremely important to our company. Working within a defined budget, we can provide a variety of design services from rough sketches, to large scale estate plans. We can work with your existing structure but ideally, landscape design begins during the design phase of your structure. Plans are priced on an hourly fee and charged separately. Details of itemized hard goods, labor and plant materials are available for the customer's review allowing the client to fully understand the elements that go into their landscape design installation. We don't like surprises, and will completely explain your design's cost. Each client sees a complete list of details and can prioritize or eliminate aspects of the design to "phase in" or simplify a project over a period of years. Typically, with open communication before the project begins, there are no surprise additional costs, unless of course the client agrees to or wants additional work...

I needed 12 flower arrangements for an important event I was coming from out of town to Chicago to…read morehost last weekend. After an extensive search I was in despair over finding a designer who could provide flowers with the elegant, striking, luscious effect I was after. When my friend in Wausau heard of my flower woes, she offered to deliver from Randy's to Chicago. She had brought me to his shop, Evolutions in Design, when I visited her a couple of years ago, and his excellent taste stayed in my mind. So, thanks to my friend's generosity, I was able to relax and hand my flower problem over to Randy. I put my trust in his design sense. It was trust well-placed. The 12 arrangements were absolutely gorgeous, really breath-taking. They turned an austere, generic room into a place of warmth and beauty. The price was very fair for the richness of the arrangements I got. No skimping here, no fillers, just glorious flowers at their peak bloom. I never post reviews, but this was such a positive experience I had to pass on my recommendation. Thank you, Randy, thank you!

Cheeky birthday cards? They have it all. The store owners are super cool and kind. Ask them anything - even if you are just curious to learn how they got to be in Wausau's River District. We weren't in the market for floral arrangements (just stopped in while strolling the downtown) but, we walked away with a ton of themed party décor ideas. They have incredible, curated spaces located in the upstairs rooms. No shortage of inspiration at this shop! This would be an ideal place to visit if you are planning a big surprise party or wedding. The shop owners mentioned two weddings in Milwaukee they had coming up so don't let the distance deter you from considering Evolutions in Design for your special day. I have a feeling it won't disappoint.

The sushi is some of the worst I've had. We've tried the Chico sushi, the Philadelphia roll multiple times, and even some of their signature rolls, hoping something would stand out. Nothing did. The quality and flavor were consistently disappointing every single time. We also ordered the sesame chicken, the General Tao, and their chicken and vegetable. The sesame chicken and General Tao literally tasted the same. Different names, same bland sauce, same overall flavorless experience. Even the chicken and vegetable lacked seasoning and tasted just as uninspired. There is simply no real flavor in anything we tried. On top of that, it's overpriced for the quality you're getting. The service is only halfway decent, and while the ambiance is cute, it does not make up for how awful the food is. After four tries, I can confidently say it's not worth it. One star.

The lady warned us that it might take a while because of the way the manufacturer does things. Summer turned to fall; fall to winter (which is awfully long here in Wisconsin but I digress). I called them because they couldn't pick up the phone and call me. I called twice and was told by a woman that it was on order. I asked when to expect it and was assured that it would be in about Mothers Day. Winter turned to spring (finally) and spring was in full force late in May. But I waited into June. I called twice and twice was told by a young woman that she would give the message to Al (the big cheese there). She said she would call back. Needless to say Al never called back. I decided to go in there, cancel my order and use my gift certificate for something else. I decided not to be angry. I told him that my calls hadn't been returned. He knew my name and so knew the situation. Despite all this there was not one single word that indicated remorse or an apology! If you go there never order something. Go to Home Depot where they deliver on their promises to order stuff. My old review: A plethora of plants, lawn ornaments, knick-knacks, lawn furniture packed into a relatively small location! They have a wide variety of stuff: kitsch to somewhat elegant. Fun to browse and check things out. The hired staff is friendly and helpful but stressed: I've been in there a number of times when there is a wait to get a staff member to help. For certain requests they seem to be required to talk to the owner, Al. Their plants look to be very well taken care of. Their parking lot is smallish.

Their staff is knowledgable and friendly, albeit sparse. You do have to seek them out, but when you find them, they are good. The best by far is Al, I'm assuming that he is the owner. He is tremendous and will take all the time you need to walk the grounds and help you pick out just the right solution for your needs. All of the local landscape designers direct their clients here - enough said. If you show up on a Saturday, expect to wait for assistance. The place is often packed, especially in spring and early summer. The quality of their trees, shrubs, and other plantings is tremendous. I don't really focus on price, as landscaping for me is a long term investment, so I don't know how they compare here. They have the largest selection in the area. If you have a specific need that they don't stock, they usually can get it ordered and delivered within a week or two. I have done this a number of times, all with good success. I have used them for four phases of our home landscape design, done professionally by Susie Murphy of Landscape Solutions (recommended). We started in 2008 and will finish in 2013. Window Box quality has remained strong during this time. If you prefer searching through the parking lot nurseries of Menards, Home Depot, Walmart, etc. then please stay there. It will help keep the crowds down here.
