Headed to central Wisconsin with the family in tow? You\u2019re in luck\u2014Marshfield is home to outstanding outdoor adventures, can\u2019t-miss attractions, fun community events, and other great ways to entertain the whole crew. Here\u2019s a closer look at what to see and do.<\/p>\n
One of Marshfield\u2019s top family attractions is Wildwood Park & Zoo<\/b>, which has been welcoming visitors since the 1930s and is home to twin Kodiak bears, cougars, bison, wolves, and a menagerie of other animals. (The park is also home to some great wooded walking trails.) The outdoor Wenzel Family Plaza<\/b> hosts fun events like concerts (see below), but it\u2019s also a great place to go and play in the splash pad in the summer. And while we\u2019re talking about summer fun, Vandehey Waters Outdoor Aquatic Center<\/b> is a great place to spend a sunny day, as it\u2019s home to multiple waterslides, diving boards, a climbing wall, a current channel, and a lap pool.<\/p>\nFind fun indoors<\/h2>\n
There\u2019s plenty to see and do inside on your trip to Marshfield, too. Melody Gardens Restaurant & Skateland <\/b>not only serves delicious food\u2014and ice cream\u2014but it is also home to a skating rink and arcade. The Grey Dog Axe Throwing<\/b> is open to kids ages 8 and up (kids 8-13 must be accompanied by a parent) and has arcade games and a pool table on site. Escape Room Marshfield<\/b> is a fun family activity designed for two to eight players, and Board & Brush Marshfield<\/b> lets you and your kids explore your creative sides with engaging art projects.<\/p>\nMark your calendar<\/h2>\n
Wenzel Family Plaza hosts the Hub City Concert Series<\/b> on Friday nights throughout the summer, and this year\u2019s calendar includes acts like Newski and The Verve Pipe. Every July, Hub City Days <\/b>brings the celebration to historic downtown Marshfield with a classic car & bike show, kids\u2019 games, live music, and more. In September, the fun continues at Maple Fall Fest<\/b>, which welcomes more than 150 arts & crafts vendors, kids\u2019 games, art activities, and much more to Wildwood Park.<\/p>\n
