This park has a fountain with a big statue of children frolicking around inside of it. There are plenty of picnic tables as well as tons of green space and trees, which are perfect for shade in the hotter months. There is also a playground that is perfect for kids and adults (there were certainly a few times that my college friends and I would venture onto the playground and swing on the swings). This park is just the epitome of Appleton. Even though this place is pretty big, it really has that sort of friendly, mid-west small town feel to it. When I've gone to this park to relax reading a book in the sunshine, I've always heard the laughter of children playing, people walking dogs, strolling, etc. It's so idyllic. If you're looking for a place to bring your kids, or to walk, or have a picnic, this is the place to go!

While I'm not specifically a Houdini nut, I love a good quirky museum. One of the things I really…read moreenjoyed about visiting this spot was the building itself, formerly a Masonic temple built in 1923. The flooring and woodwork were beautiful. But as far as the Houdini exhibit, I wasn't blown away. Several of the interactive pieces were not working. I did enjoy that you could get inside some of the items, like the milk can and a straight jacket, but I wouldn't recommend a trip here just for the Houdini exhibit. The History Museum at the Castle does have other exhibits, which depending on what's in house could make your visit more worthwhile.

Queen Anne architecture, they said, I can't give specifics on this. But downstairs in the basement is more of the museum with interactive exhibits. There's even a cycle you can pedal to power up the room, it even makes a Thomas Edison figurine start to dance. It's kinda bizarre, but it is fun. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and friendly.

We happened to show up on the weekend they were honoring the 150th anniversary of the Peshtigo Fire. We caught the last few minutes of a talk and then saw a new video they made about the fire. It was very good and very informative. If not for the movie the center itself was a bit underwhelming. I was hoping for more having been to the excellent Luxembourg-American museum in Belgium Wisconsin (go figure out that one). [You must be wondering do I only tour Wisconsin-based museums of small Northern European countries. No but my wife is of Luxembourg descent so that is why...] Anyway the people were friendly and the few displays were interesting I was just expecting a bit more content.
