Reviewed By Richard K - San Bruno
This year-round facility has heated bays, great targets with accurate yardage markers, good range balls, a fun mini-golf course and a nice little snackbar. It really fills the golf bill in the wintertime! During the spring/summer/fall, the short-game area is good, including putting, chipping, sand trap.

These gardens, located in Whitnall Park, offer an outstanding variety of plants and flowers including significant collections of roses and perennials.

Visiting the spectacular China Lights exhibit was worth dealing with the throngs of eager attendees who also marveled at the creative display of clever and historically inspired scenes. There is signage to describe each area, but the downloadable app allowed more detail. There were dance and martial arts performers and music adding to the feel of the experience. Parking in remote lots was aided by shuttle bus transport. I would suggest that at the entrance gate that there could be separate lines for persons who had prepaid vouchers. All in all a delightful evening.

The trails here are well marked and color coded so you can't get lost. All sorts of different habitats are experienced here. A nice clean air conditioned nature center building with restrooms and a souvenir shop. Plenty of parking but you'll have to pay a few dollars and post the receipt on your dashboard.

I have friends outside of Milwaukee, and when I saw the Groupon, I thought this could be a fun activity for us. I have to admit, I thought the tickets were a bit pricey and was happy to have found a coupon.
We went last weekend and I was amazed at how much there is to do! We brought a picnic lunch. (They have tables - in the shade - but we decided to plunk down on our blankets.) A pony ride was included with admission, and I really like that the ponies were led around the circle (as opposed to those harness things at the fair that don't even let them turn their heads). There were several playgrounds, lots of different playground types of equipment, silos that were now sand pits, a hay ride, a wagon ride, and then all of the animals. The pot-bellied pigs, sheep, donkeys, chickens, turkeys, llama, pigs, goats (and I suspect I'm forgetting a couple) were in pens that you could actually enter. Squeak got to hold chickens! (She was much more excited about this than I was.)
We started with the pony ride, then hit a couple play areas (one with bouncy balls, a pallet maze, a giant slide made of tractor tires), then scoped out the baby ducks, took a wagon ride, climbed around on a tractor, played on tire swings, took a hay ride, climbed ALL over the old fire truck, played on another play structure, mauled the goats, chickens, pot bellied pigs, sheep, donkeys, milked a cow (thanks, buttons!), watched the goat run (they open the goat pen and you can run with the goats to their night time home), went back to the fire engine, and finally, found our way to the music cart - where they have boxes of drum sticks and you can just beat the snot out of barrels, tanks, muffin tins, other random metal, plastic, and wood objects.
I also loved that there were hand washing stations all over the place.
It was a fantastic day, we had a wonderful time, and we will definitely be back!

This is a very large park that seems to have something any time of year. There are lots and lots of trails - some covered with woodchips and some board walks. There is a golf course that would be of interest to the golfers. And, of course, in the summer there are the botanical gardens. Lots of places for a picnic. And if it continues, the incredible China Lights in the winter. It's truly a wonderful country experience only about 20 min. from downtown Milwaukee.

We have brought our kids to the Bear Den a couple times and we always enjoy our time there. I think we can all agree that our favorite is the Lemur that jumps on our shoulders and visits with us. There are turkeys, ponies, and all sorts of other animals. You can take a hay ride out to get a pumpkin at harvest time.

Best. Place. Ever.
We had 2 hours of unlimited for about $23.00 per person. Worth the price because if you do just the general trampoline it is $13.00 and then everything else is extra.
Staff
Major shoutout to Kenna, Nicki and Hannah. Those girls were friendly, nice, very patient. They even were nice to take photos for me so I could be in the photos!
Laser Tag
6 minutes long. Layout is an abandoned mine. They will only operate it if it is a group. As a pair of two, we found others to form a group. They show you scores and rankings on a TV afterwards.
Mt Helium
I loved that the wall was color coded to indicate the difficulty. blue was easy and then go down the line. It made it easy for people to see and the floor was black astro tuff so the landing on your feet was quite comfortable.
Hamster Ball
Fun but disappointing. The balls are open on both ends so you end up constantly falling in the holes. They put you on the trampoline grid so it is very difficult to maneuver the balls over the barrier into another grid. I spent most of the time stuck on a grid trying to get out.
Ninja Warrior Course
3 levels of difficulty. Very challenging.
Ropes Course
Fun and challenging. Be warned because your moving chain can become stuck sometimes and then you have to wiggle it free.
Dodge Ball
Love the fact it is a separate court as well as the basketball area which has two hoops at different heights.
The park itself was very clean. There was no trash anywhere or dirty tables. Bathrooms were clean; no spills on counters, each stall had toilet paper.
Only issue is location as it is off the main street. We found it using GPS.
