Fox Cities & Appleton, Wisconsin family travel and accessible travel

A kid-safe, mobility-friendly visit awaits along the north shore of Wisconsin’s Lake Winnebago

Kayaking in Fox Cities and Appleton, Wisconsin

Kayaking a narrow, in-town lake that’s also spanned by a pedestrian bridge. Go-Karting with our kids (and then getting severely blasted by them at Laser Tag). Savoring summer mornings with hearty and delectable breakfasts. And of course, shooting zombies with arrows.

One of the hardest things about an amazing family summer vacation is figuring out how to start sharing why you loved it. But here’s the thing: 19 communities comprise Wisconsin’s Fox Cities area. Our family of four romped and recreated throughout Appleton, Neenah, Kaukauna, Menasha, and Little Chute. Each community, like each activity, gave us something new to enjoy and build family memories around.

Where to stay in Appleton and Fox Cities, Wisconsin

We stayed at the Best Western Premier Bridgewood Resort Hotel & Conference Center

Our family has stayed in Best Western hotels all over the U.S.A., and the Bridgewood’s personality, care, and amenities shone.

Aster enjoyed the pool and playground, especially the water slide, mushroom spray feature, and the little stand of dumping water buckets. Anthony got a kick out of wandering the downtown-themed covered event area, doing yoga in the fitness center, and relaxing in the hot tub after a fun day out.
