Perfect family destination to spend a weekend afternoon. Seriously, I've been adventuring with my…read morekids for years (we live in the Twin Cities, but a 1-2 hour drive is fine for us), and I had never come across this place before. It's truly a hidden gem. Besides being a top-notch county historical society museum -- complete with a "prairie kid" dress-up room for younger kids, maybe 3 to 7 years old -- there's an incredible maker's workshop in the back with *tons* of STEM-based activities to do and/or take home, for anyone of any age. We could have spent all day there. Family admission caps off at $12. Worth every penny. Again, I can't overemphasize this enough, it's a very exciting hidden gem within reasonable driving distance from the Twin Cities.

This place blew me away when I visited with my history of design class the other day! The shear…read moreamount of historical objects in this building is stunning, and the history behind it is amazing. The tour guides will tell you about the two houses built before the one that currently stands. The families that owned these houses helped form the midwest to be what it is today--something I never would have even imagined if I hadn't come here. Some of the wealthiest people in 1800s America lived in Menomonie. I'm taking away one star because I can't imagine that the tour would be quite as fascinating without my art history professor there, but it would be pretty close. This is a must-visit if you're going to be in the area!

Besides the giant fish I enjoyed looking at all of the old motorboat motors and learning their history. Plenty of other gear and lures and stuffed fish. Didn't spend much time looking at the "hall of fame" section. Did the climb up the stairs to see the view from the mouth of the giant musky. A great roadside America stop - it's a keeper!

This small theater is perfect for rainy days and days we don't want to spend outside…read more That's the reason we came to it to see "Magic Mike" several years ago, to have fun on a rainy day. (Though I don't know if I recommend seeing it with your in-laws, like we did.) And most recently, we wanted to get the kids out of the lake house, so we came here to see the new Minions movie. It was easy to order tickets online, which I definitely recommend you do. We had originally tried to see "Toy Story 5," but it was sold out when we arrived: And when you enter, the ticket line and concessions are the same, so you can get everything at the same time. This theater was small, clean, inviting. A great asset for Hayward vacations.

Great place - very clean. Not really crowded in a small town so you get a great viewing experience…read more The counter staff are really nice. So glad to have this available to us in Hayward.

We're lucky to have the Heyde and the shows that it brings. The staff are super friendly too.read more

This is going to be one of those reviews where I open with a quote/poem. Today's selection will be…read moreone of my favorites from Wendell Berry: When despair for the world grows in me and I wake in the night at the least sound in fear of what my life and my children's lives may be, I go and lie down where the wood drake rests in his beauty on the water, and the great heron feeds. I come into the peace of wild things who do not tax their lives with forethought of grief. I come into the presence of still water. And I feel above me the day-blind stars waiting with their light. For a time I rest in the grace of the world, and am free. Now that I got that out of my system, I love this place. They offer a ton of camps and classes for children and adults all centered around nature and conservation. I rememember coming to the day camps here and having a blast. I did the Spanish Lanuage immersion camp, general day camp, but never the week long over night. They offer cabins for rental as well. There was this one we went to that was like way out there on this trail and built from super old wood in a lincoln log kind of way. And now just looking at their website, they apparently rent that out too on a nightly basis. Ooh and the bogs. They have this massive bog on the property that you can walk through and it has all these crazy species of plants. There's even one of those insect eating plants and orchids and stuff. Now that I'm thinking about it, this place would make for a great Yoga retreat. If you're reading this Ms. Hunt or whoever owns this place, you should explore the idea of a partnership with a Yoga studio. You could be like the Kripalu of the midwest.
