hey out there.... any ideas where to go/stay to see something cool? no tent camping. cabins considered. kids as young as 4, 2 families. we are out of ideas. been to devils lake wi. other ideas? thanks so much!
SPRINGFIELD ILLINOIS!!!!!! It is after all the capital. Learn some history. There are a few museums there. Visit some small towns near springfield, like Jacksonville (the ferris wheel was invented there), take a short car ride west to the Illinois River. there is a ferry that is loads of fun to watch usually in Pike County. Good luck and have fun! Remember, there is more to Illinois than Chicago!!!!!!!!
Caledonia Wisconsin; yogi bear cabins.....my friends all say it's great, order a booklet, i just got mine
Holland Michigan is nice
Michigan Dunes, near lighthouse
Wisconsin Dells
Starve Rock has cabins
There is a great amusement park in Iowa, that doesn't get crowded & lots of fun things to do around town....it will be a little bit over your 4 hour request
How about Chicago, God knows there is tons to do.....just don't go when they are having the Nato Summit
WI Dells,
Indiana Dunes State Park,
St. Louis, MO
Southern Indiana (Nashville, Brown County State Park, Santa Claus, IN - with amusement park)
I would go to the Lake Michigan beach towns in Michigan. I've done a ton of research for a nice place, and there are really some AWESOME places. I'm hoping that our family can go to MI soon!
Madison, WI: roam around the UofW, visit the awesome children's museum, try a sprinkler park in Middleton if in the summer, Cave in the Mounds, farmer's market at the Capitol on Saturdays (complete with jugglers and other kid friendly amusement), a ton of cool parks to hike.
Sheboygan: Blue Harbor Resort (cheaper than Wisconsin Dells)
I second the suggestion for Starved Rock.
Wisconsin Dells --- water park capitol of the world but lots of other things to do also.
Baraboo WI -- home of the Ringling Brothers Barnum Baily Circus Musuem.
I like New Buffalo, Harbour County in Micigan. I live in Bolingbrook and it's an 1 and 1/2 away. Lots to do and lots of accomodation options.
Mineral Point, Wisconsin! Very pretty- and some great accommodations. Check out Shake Rag Alley. Have fun!
