Free to go in when I went, the gardens were also very walkable! I went on the off season so there wasn't much to look at but that is on me.

Jefferson Street Inn - Room 303 - tiny compared to others.  View of demolished buildings outside and TV obstructed view from bed.  Way different from other rooms!

Jefferson Street Inn

This is a nice place. Love the location. Stayed on a Wednesday Night (in summer) and there is…read morelive music in the square across the street. Nice plus! This is the first time I stayed here. Honestly I only stayed here because their prices were reasonable compared to my usually Holliday Inns in town (which for some reason have been crazy high of late). Looks like I may be changing my habits! The room was clean and very spacious. The one I stayed in had a hot tub and a (electric) fireplace. Price included free breakfast delivered from a nearby coffee shop. The food needs to be ordered at night and you pick it up the next morning in lobby. There is a pool and hot tub, but you do have to take a separate elevator to get to it. The hotel itself in interesting. You take one elevator to get to the first 4 floors, another to get to the 5th and, like I said, a 3rd one to get to the pool and adjoining buildings. TV's are nice, but have limited cable. Would also like more outlets near the bed. Had to unplug the clock to plug in my phone. Like that the have covered parking available for those winter stays!

No cleaning service after our first night. Had to request towels for my family to shower. Front…read moredesk left me standing for an absurd amount of time to request a water. Parking lot was full. Hotel is a maze inside. Don't put your room card away cause you need it 3-4 times before you even get to your room. Regretting my choice with all the options available. Now I know, and so will you.

Marathon County Historical Society - Woodson History Center housed in the historic Leigh Yawkey and A.P. Woodson house.

Marathon County Historical Society

There are two houses related to the Historical Society, The Yawkey House and the Woodson History…read moreCenter. This time I strolled to the Woodson House. It is only about a block from the Everest. I had been to this grand house a couple of years ago. At that time they had a great exhibit on the effect of the Civil War on the area. I met an older gentleman named George. We talked smart for over two hours. He was great at answering questions about the county. On this visit I hoped to talk with him again; but, alas, he was not there on this visit. So I checked out their new exhibit on rural electrification of Marathon County. I found it quite informative and interesting. You can "interact" with people who used to live in the county by telephone; and listen to their stories. This is a nice place to spend a couple of hours. You can learn a lot about the area. There were a couple of floods that decimated the town. The one in 1913 was particularly devastating. As I am prone to staying at the Everest Inn, I'll probably visit this museum again the next time I'm in Wausau. Hope to catch George next time, I could use another history lesson of Marathon County. If you are a history buff (who isn't?) it would behoove you to check this fine little museum out. There is no entry fee; but leave a donation of a couple of bucks. It's the right thing to do.

From the owner: Tour the historic Yawkey House Museum. Visit the Woodson History Center to tour our free rotating…read moreexhibits.

Whitewater Music Hall - MLK Event in Wausau.

Whitewater Music Hall

(5 reviews)

Best new place in Wausau to get your coffee and beer fix. Great selection of fancy toast and super…read morefriendly owners and staff. Lots of local art on display, and quite a few music options from open mic to bands not typically found in Wausau. Excellent home brews also. Even a purple ceiling to make you wonder why..

The Whitewater Music Hall seems to be an old Masonic lodge that has been transformed into a…read moremulti-purpose community center and music venue. In addition to the main hall there is a nice cafe room with places to sit and relax while enjoying beverages from coffee to mixed drinks that can be purchased from the bar. It was the perfect place for Wausau's 2020 Martin Luther King Day event. The main hall provided ample room for the the program which included a band, an awards presentation and the featured speaker. I'm sure that the hall is a suitable venue for concerts and other events as well. The buffet line for the catered meal was in the corridor outside of the main hall which was not ideal (though probably necessary) -- it was quite crowded when everyone was getting their food and the congestion was exacerbated with others coming and going from the main hall to the cafe etc.. The number of tables in the main hall was insufficient for the number of attendees. We, along with many others had to balance dinner plates on our laps and set our drinks on the floor while eating. I'm not sure whether the responsibility for this falls on the event planners or the hall management but it was a definite negative for me. A few other things -- positive and negative. There is a nice display of artwork from local artists displayed on the walls. Even while the MLK event was going on there at least one other small group conducting a meeting in another area of the building. Parking was limited and the cars were parked rather haphazardly (and the ice and snow of January certainly doesn't make parking easy either). We needed to park across the street -- fortunately the county offices located there are closed in the evening.

Jurustic Park - Frog sculpture from Jurustic Park that followed me home....Playing a wayward shot from my wife's garden bed.

An absolutely amazing and unique experience. According to Clyde Wynia (Artist extraordinaire), the…read morecreatures in the park are extinct creatures he dug up from the surrounding marsh. There is so much to see and in addition to the metal sculptures, Clyde's wife Nancy has a studio/shop that sells and displays her jewelry, necklaces, glass beads and more. One of Clyde's creatures a Frog that plays golf followed me home. Since we live on a golf course, he can be spotted trying to hit an errant ball out of one of my wife's garden beds. Aside from the risk of one of the creatures following you home, Jurustic Park is a great place to visit

A grand place to visit! In two days, I made a trip to the Forevertron and Jurustic Park. What a…read moreweekend! Jurustic Park is just north of Marshfield, even though it's actually in Marathon County. The collection is located on private property so if you visit, be respectful of the neighborhood and observe the hours. You won't believe you're on the right road because there are no signs, except a small one that makes sure you follow the correct fork in the road. All of a sudden, there you are! Jurustic Park is a collection of artwork by Clyde Wynia, a retired lawyer who took up welding to create his art. His wife, Nancy, is also an artisan, working with semi-precious stones and glass. The two have combined talent to build some unique artwork. Photos don't do those creations justice, you have to visit to see it. Clyde's medium of choice is metal, mostly ferrous under ferrous oxide (rust) but there is also iron and a variety of other metals. He claims these aren't dinosaurs, but creatures that lived in the marsh but are frozen in position by rust. A few move, one monster is named Art, which is short for Articulated and. . . Beware the Jabberwock! You enter the park, greeted by an ashtray held by an appropriate figure as a reminder of what smoking will ultimately do for you. Check out the snakes and cats, then walk under the giant spider. Some of the sculptures move if gently prodded, but don't push too hard. They fight back. Enjoy the wit and whimsy, and if you can, meet Clyde (he's obvious) and enjoy his running commentary of your tour. It's well worth the side trip from Marshfield.
