Chelsea Sloan & Jon Kruse
Things To Do
Pikes Peak State Park
The ORIGINAL Pikes Peak: beautiful park with great hiking options and places to picnic and/or camp! FREE entrance as well :)
Paper Moon
One of Chelsea's very favorite bookstores. Wonderful place to find a new favorite book for the summer!
St. Feriole Island Park
If it isn't flooded during our wedding weekend, this is also a lovely riverside park to stroll and enjoy the river and bluff views.
Spook Cave: Underground Boat Tour
Fun fact: One of Jon's relatives discovered this cave back in 1953. A must-do for young and old if you enjoy cave tours by boat!
Prairie Fun Land
Jon and Chelsea have most enjoyed the miniature golf course, but this place has go-karts, bumper cars, and arcade as well.
Cabela's
For all your outdoor gear needs...
Effigy Mounds National Monument
We highly recommend the hike out to Hanging Rock. This national monument includes over 200 American Indian mounds.
Wyalusing State Park
For paddlers, there’s an excellent canoe trail that runs through the park’s many sloughs, perfect for viewing wildlife.
Tri City Golf Club
Jon's golf course recommendation for the area. Double rainbow likely not included.
Schera's | Algerian American Restaurant & Bar
A hidden gem in this part of Iowa. Jon's pick is the lamb shawarma, and Chelsea's is the falafel...but for sure order the Za'atar as an appetizer! Also an impressive beer and cocktails menu.
Simply Cafe
Favorite local coffee shop to grab breakfast, lunch and/or a cappuccino.
Thoma Dairy Bar Cafe
Favorite pick for your malt or milkshake needs! The original lunch counter, stools and soda fountain from the 1950's are still in use!
Maiden Voyage Tours, LLC
Explore the waters where Mark Twain once worked as a river pilot. Interesting history, bird watching and natural beauty await. This 49-passenger tour is fun for everyone.
Villa Louis Mansion
This National Historic Landmark is located on St. Feriole Island in Prairie du Chien, WI. Experience life during the 19th century as you visit the estate of one of Wisconsin’s most prosperous families.
Casino Queen Marquette
Casino Queen Marquette is a 17,514 square feet riverboat casino and home of local icon, The Pink Elephant.
Valley Fish & Cheese Shop
The Valley Fish & Cheese shop is a hoot! This store is brimming with smoked fish, jerkys and cheeses alongside kitschy gifts and crazy decor.
Pete's Hamburger Stand
Try the legendary hamburger that is cooked in water! Only open Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays during the summer, so grab a spot in line when you get the chance.
Leisure Time Sports Bar & Bowl
Favorite local bowling place (and favorite Bloody Mary place, too)!
