You've conquered Breakpoint but you and your gang are far from slowing down. More like "What's next?!" Though what IS the what's next?! Here's a few ideas for what the "what's next?!" might be!
From working at a daycare, I was witness to the fact that kids somehow have access to an unlimited amount of energy, something I am sure you can testify too. K.A.S.H has a sprawling playground and huge jungle gym so let them run! And expend some of that limitless energy.
As a kid, I LOVED the Children's museum in Madison because you could touch everything! If your munchkins are 10 and under, take them over to the Central Wisconsin's Children's Museum right here in Point. The activities and exhibits are made for touching and poking, a kid's dream. There's also an art room and kid-centered programs so for 5 dollars, it's a great way to incorporate learning and fun.
Let the them create! In addition to having family events, you can also stop in anytime during business hours to create a masterpiece. Each person can paint their own piece, then pick it up the finished, fired product in a few days. It's a fun, unique way to engage everyone and create a unique,
tangible memory.
Ice skating isn't just for the lake! And at Willett, you can skate all year round. (I mean who doesn't want to go ice skating in July?!) It's $3.00 during the week and on the weekends, it's $3.50. If you need skates, it's just $4.00!
Allen F. Blocher Planetarium: There are some questions that are hard to answer...like where
do stars come from? That's one question you can have someone else answer; UWSP does programs Sunday at 2 p.m., exploring the mysteries and questions of the stars that twinkle above us. They also do Pink Floyd's "The Wall" Laser Show so check out the site for more information on those times!
Putt-n-Play Mini Golf: No matter the age, mini golf is always a blast. 18 holes of indoor mini golf is plenty to keep everyone busy and entertained! There's also a concession stand for when you need a snack!
Schmeekle Reserve: Burn off some energy and take the family on a walk on one of the trails or check out the educational, hands on programs they host. The Green Circle Trail and Sculpture Park (personal favorite!) are 2 other options to get the family outdoors
BONUS: All this thinking and exploring can make one hungry, and what better way to refuel than ice cream?! Belt's is an all-time and long Point staple for fresh, homemade ice cream, and a block away is Carl D's, where you can fresh soft serve, pop corn, and chili for for days. After all that brain work, you deserve a treat, right?!
What are your favorite things to do with your family in Stevens Point?
