Lean into Learning

Hands-On Museum Fun

Wisconsin’s children’s museums make learning legit and they are little-one approved! From pretend-piloting a jet to racing through a dinosaur maze to exploring a treehouse garden, learning comes with play. Many museums also offer sensory-friendly equipment and accommodations so every kid can feel comfortable, engaged and included.

Family-Friendly Hidden Gems for Your Next Hike

Hiking doesn’t have to mean hard routes or long miles. Instead, fill your day on the trail with your kids’ curiosity, natural connections and moments of wild wonder. Whether you’re wandering at a slower pace, sharing picnic bites or pausing to admire the view hand in hand, family hikes are a meaningful way to get outside.
