Things To Do

*Due to uncertainty around the COVID-19 (coronavirus) pandemic and how life will look like in the fall, places below may not be open during your visit* I know many of you will not be here for more than the day, but if you have the time you should try checking out what the Fox Valley has to offer, from restaurants to museums, or simply take a walk down one of our nature trails. There is plenty more than what I have highlighted here, feel free to explore and enjoy that good ole Wisconsin charm of the Fox Valley.

Rye Restaurant

308 West College Avenue, Appleton, WI 54911
, (920) 380-4745

If you are here for the weekend and looking for a place to eat, Rye dining is great. I loved their Chicken Marsala and will definitely be back myself. This is a bit higher priced, but still affordable and for the quality of the meal, I think it is worth every penny.

Town Council Kitchen & Bar

133 West Wisconsin Avenue, Neenah, WI 54956
, (920) 558-3500

Another restaurant to give a try if you are in town for a few days. My brother works in the kitchen here and has helped them innovate through the hard times this spring/early summer by offering Texas Style Smoked Brisket and other BBQ fare along with his own sauce for takeout. Not sure what the menu will look like closer to the wedding, but it is sure to please.

Mark's East Side

1405 East Wisconsin Avenue, Appleton, WI 54911
, (920) 733-3600

If you are looking for classic Wisconsin Fish Fry, Mark's East Side is the area favorite. Known for more than their Friday Fish Fry's you can also get some classic German food like schnitzel or Sausage and Kraut here. This is a casual bar/restaurant setting.

Dairyland Brew Pub

1216 East Wisconsin Avenue, Appleton, WI 54911
, (920) 903-9708

Another Fish Fry favorite is Dairyland Brew Pub. As the name suggests this place is about as Wisconsin as it gets, with Garlic Cheese Curds, Bloody Mary's, and Old Fashioned's (in Wisconsin they are made with Brandy not rye/bourbon). This is definitely a bar setting, tending to be louder than other spots.

Building For Kids

100 West College Avenue, Appleton, WI 54911
, (920) 734-3226

If you are looking for something to entertain your kids for a bit, stop by the children's museum. With plenty of space to play and several interactive stations to learn about anything form community involvement to STEM classes. Kids of all ages welcome, but best enjoyed by those 10 or younger based on my experience.

Paper Discovery Center

425 West Water Street, Appleton, WI 54911
, (920) 380-7491

For those not from Wisconsin or those who have never seen the heart of what helped settle early Wisconsin, the Paper Discovery Center is an interesting and unique visit. All across the state paper mills were setup around the waterways as foresters would float fresh logs down river to a mill to be processed. Learn more about Wisconsin's paper making industry here.

Lambeau Field Stadium Tours

1265 Lombardi Avenue, Green Bay, WI 54304
, (920) 569-7512

Whereas you will have to tape the game that may or may not be happening during the wedding, you should try to stop and see the stadium tour if you have time. About a 30-40 minute drive north to Green Bay for you football fans.

Neuroscience Group Field at Fox Cities Stadium

2400 North Casaloma Drive, Appleton, WI 54913
, (920) 733-4152

Sports fans would don't want to drive all the way to Green Bay? Catch Timber Rattlers baseball right next door. Fox Valley minor league baseball at it's finest.

The History Museum at the Castle

330 East College Avenue, Appleton, WI 54911
, (920) 735-9370

Looking to learn more about the Fox Valley and it's history? Stop in this fun building for more info on the founding of Appleton as well as Harry Houdini. Houdini was actually born in the Fox Valley and they have a small exhibit on some of his more famous tricks on the upper level.

EAA Aviation Museum

3000 Poberezny Road, Oshkosh, WI 54902
, (920) 426-4800

If you like aviation and planes, there are plenty of cool things for you here. They are having an event on Sept 17th for those who may be in the area at that point. This is a bit further away, about 20-30 minute drive, but where else are you going to find old war planes to see up close?

Fox Cities Performing Arts Center

400 West College Avenue, Appleton, WI 54911
, (920) 730-3760

For the more cultured visitors, checkout Fox Cities PAC schedule for live entertainment that is sure to please. Whether it is stand-up, music, or an off-Broadway production, you can expect an enjoyable, relaxing evening at the PAC.

Lamers Dairy Inc

N410 Speel School Road, Appleton, WI 54915
, (920) 830-0980

What's more Wisconsin than Cheese and Dairy, am I right? You can stop at any grocery store and get local Wisconsin cheese, or you can go right to the source at Lamer's. They have a great country store with plenty of local cheese selections, as well as other Wisconsin made products. You can also see part of the cheese making process for yourself as the dairy is on site.

Gordon Bubolz Nature Preserve
