The Fox City PAC is an amazing facility in the heart of downtown Appleton. For a town of its size, it rivals almost all other similar venues in the state. We have been there multiple times for plays, musicals, concerts and speakers. There is virtually no bad seat in the house and the staff is always friendly. Parking can be a bit tricky near the PAC but it's easy to park on a side street and walk over. Centrally located near restaurants and bars for a stop before or after. The offerings are better than almost all other state venues often getting national tours before other locations in the state. It is a great place to catch a show or a concert.

Spent a couple hours walking the trails!
10 year old and 16 year old was along.
Well marked with boardwalk to walk along the waters edge! Trails were icy but that's part of the season! Eagles were magnificent!
We will return in spring! This is a place to experience every season!
Indoor exhibits are great!
Great place! The staff does a fabulous job!

I called Outagamie County Historical Society, they did not return a call or an email. All looks in great repair, paint intact, no broken windows, grass mown. But gardens and orchard untended, and there was no way to get inside. I'll try again this summer.

Was pleased with this wonderful art gallery that I never even heard of if it wasn't for trip advisors and I live near here. My friend and I really enjoyed our time checking out the many artists that are on display here. Rooms and rooms of art. Wow. Very nice. Plus two areas of all sorts of art supplies and one of the room's was a barging room with excellent deals.
Please stop by its a good time especially if you need rest from the summer heat.

Wisconsin International Raceway (WIR) is a raceway a few miles east of Appleton.
They have racing on pavement, a ½ mile D shaped oval, a small ¼ mile track inside one side of the ½ mile track, a figure 8 track that uses part of the ¼ mile track and a drag strip off to one side of the ½ mile track. The facility has gravel and grass parking for spectators, bleachers, restrooms, and a variety of quick food, beverage and souvenir shops.
In addition to the bleachers WIR has grass seating where spectators can sit on their own lawn chairs or directly on the grass. They also have a area called the Dick Trickle pavilion that is separated from the rest of the spectator areas for private functions.
Several race drivers that made it big into Nascar have raced at this race track.
They have races most Thursday nights and drag strip events most Saturday nights over the summer. The race track spectators get to see time trials then a variety of different races, different types of cars in different classes then a feature race. The night often ends with a silly figure 8 race. After the race they often open the pits to spectators to come meet the teams, drives and get a close up meet and greet with all involved in the activities.
About three years ago the track went thru a lighting upgrade. Now nighttime racing has clear visibility for the drives and fans.
WIR does a lot to make this a fun, family friendly event.
The day I took these photos there were thunderstorms. The track changed the order of the events, moving the feature race earlier in the schedule. The feature finished just in time before the rain started, ending the racing for the evening. The track did everything they could to keep the fans in attendance informed of the pending weather.

Our favorite storybook character visited the museum. They had coloring activities after the book reading. He loved every minute of it. He also loved playing in the 3 year old and under area. It's gated off so you don't have to worry about your little one running away from you. Great place for my almost 2 year old.

Don't keep passing this place by! Take the time, hear the stories, and appreciate your history Appleton! It's amazing for us to re-visit Wisconsin in the late 1800s, and even better for our children to see. Amazing craftsmanship, great tour guides, beautiful views - relive an era gone by and then, the next time you pass this building by the bridge you will look at it with an entirely different perspective.

Saw this place advertised on facebook. Clicked around on the pictures and my interest was peeked!. On a whim last minute we scheduled the sunset paddle. Then I got more intrigued by the lock system. They changed our reservation without hesitation. So our tour embarked on a picture perfect summer day. Before we knew it we were in the first lock hanging onto a rope as the lock lowered. We have taken several guided kayak tours throughout the state and the Appleton lock system was by far the neatest one. At each lock the lock tenders met us and handed us our rope for our gradual decent. Our tour guide pointed out local architecture along the rive. We saw a bald eagle close up and was not rushed as we took pictures. Oimur shuttle picked us up and loaded all the gear. If you are looking for a unique kayaking experience you MUST try the Appleton lock paddle. The cost is very reasonable.
