This sticky forum topic is provided for WGA members to share their recommendations regarding activities, attractions, and locations to experience in this region. These recommendations may or may not be geocaching related. For example, you could use this topic to recommend a trip to a county park with a few geocaches along with many other interesting things to do and see. Or you could suggest attending a local festival or event held at a certain time each year.
When you make a recommendation, please provide as much information as you can. We are all geocachers, so coordinates for locations would also be helpful. 🙂
If there is a need to edit or delete your recommendations at a future date, just post a note in this topic and one of our forum admins will take care of making the change.
In downtown LaCrosse, near the corner of 5th and King, is a wonderful venue for families with young kids. I was resident storyteller for a few years when it first opened and always enjoyed my shows there. My kids enjoyed the museum when they were that age, too. There are three floors of interactive exhibits. The fanciest water table you’ll ever see, which is a model of the river, allowing kids to learn about the lock and dam system. Right now, they are hosting the Grossology traveling exhibit. They regularly host special events, too.
If you’re here tryiing to snap up caches and the kids are getting sick of that, stop in for a couple hours or more. There is an admission charge, of course.
