Planning a summer of fun for your family? Western Wisconsin is packed with outdoor gems that are perfect for kids and grown-ups.
🦙 1. Eagle Eye Farm – River Falls
Get up close with the cutest sheep in the world (seriously!) and a herd of friendly alpacas. Tours are hands-on and perfect for animal-loving kids who want to pet, feed, and even walk an alpaca! 🐑

🌊 2. Point Douglas Park Beach – Prescott
Swim, build sandcastles, or just float the day away at this riverfront beach where the Mississippi and St. Croix meet. It’s peaceful, clean, and one of the best-kept secrets for family beach days.
🍎 3. Rising Sun Farm & Orchard – River Falls
A laid-back farm offering pick-your-own apples and pumpkins in the fall, and fresh produce, cider, and baked goods all season long. It’s a great spot for slower moments and sweet traditions.
