This show runs through February 25th, and worth the time to view these innovative works of art. Fascinating works that make you think--how did they do that? Colorful quilts are complimented by the woods from around the world. Practical,smaller pieces (wine corks, pens, key fobs)...MoreThank you for continuing to let others know about the Quilts & Wood exhibitions currently on view and encouraging them to visit soon.

Cracked, LLC, is an escape room business located in Weston, Wisconsin, just a couple short miles from Wausau. Customers to Cracked will be put in a theme-based room, and will have to solve challenging puzzles and codes to unlock locks and ultimately complete a mission. Perfect fun for friends and family!

We went with 3 other couples and had a great time. It was something different to do and everyone had a blast. We met one of the owners and she was very helpful in explaining what we could and couldn't do. When we went there were 2 choices of escape rooms. Basically you need to solve a puzzle to win and I myself found this challenging. It was a lot of fun and we look forward to new rooms.

Reviewed By Tom P - Wausau, Wisconsin

Great historic venue downtown across from the green space in Wausau. Excellent venue to see live performances from music to plays. Adjacent space provides area for refreshments and place to visit with others. Prices of shows vary depending on popularity and demand. Not really a bad seat in the house but worth buying better seats if available.

Yawkey House Museum

Reviewed By Ann K

Have toured two times. Both times were interesting with some different details each time. The tour guides are knowledgeable. The tour groups are small so it is easy to see everything. While not as big or grand as some homes, it was interesting. There is a variety of architectures, so it is fun to compare and contrast. Lots of original furnishings so it is easy to see life from a hundred years ago. Right across the street is an interesting museum.

We visited this winery while in the Wausau area. Tasters receive 3 complimentary samples of wine with $1 additional samples. This winery offered many flavors of wine that were unique, with favorites being strawberry watermelon and a non-dairy pina colada wine. If you are in the area, be sure to stop and sample their wine.

Q - What could be more enjoyable on a weekend afternoon than taking in a baseball game?

A - Only one thing. Taking in a ballgame at Athletic Park in Wausau Wisconsin.

Home field to the Wisconsin Woodchucks, Athletic Park is the facility every small city in America dreams of having. It is we'll appointed, clean, and built with the baseball fan in mind.

The wait staff who take food and beverage orders in the reserved seating areas are remarkable in the level of service they provide, and in their professionalism.

Parking is free, plenty and within easy walking distance of ticket booths. Restrooms are clean and in good working condition. The seating is comfortable and the viewing is great from every angle.

The Woodchucks have not set any win records this season. But, the competition is good, and the setting is close to perfect.

If you are anywhere near central Wisconsin and looking for a great way to spend a few hours, consider Athletic Park and Woodchucks baseball!

This place continues to grow and add more sites. Great place year round to walk and enjoy nature. Flat ground so easy to navigate for any age. Recently added outdoor kitchen looks like it would be available to reserve for party or gather. Peaceful place...MoreThanks for visiting.
