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.

This place is an absolute hidden gem!!! I went here with of my brother and sister and was very…read moresurprised by all the things in here. They had a great selection of well maintained arcade games ranging from older classics and to newer designed games I wish I took photos of the arcade area it was a long hallway that just led to more and more games I thought that I saw all the games and then I walked some more and found another room with more games I was amazed to say the least. They had a large room with tons of mini golf courses that would be fun for anyone i didn't get to play due to not having enough time but will definitely be back to play them. I played the laser tag game with my brother and sister it was just us 3 for our first game and we had a blast the worker was kind and helpful and was a great host for our games we got to play free for all, team deathmatch, and gun game (those who play call of duty will know gun game) with unlimited lives we were about to walk away and go inside to play the arcade games but then a large group of family and friends all showed up and we decided to play with them in total we had about 20 people all playing at the same time the host even let us choose the different weapons that are available the younger kids wanted rocket launchers and Gatling guns. We had an absolute blast the guns are very accurate and you could shoot at a persons gun or their headband and you could shoot them with perfect accuracy from about 600ft away!! Definitely the best laser tag experience I have ever had and I always try them out at any given chance. They had a great laser tag area that reminds me of a paintball setup lots of barriers some cars and the vibe was post apocalyptic. If you like paintball, laser tag, shooting video games, or shooting in general this place is a must for you please I recommend anyone that just is looking to have a good day to come and enjoy the experience of this place. The owner was very kind and truly cares to create a fun experience for all of those that come. They had a food stand with a sitting area if you are hungry and a tv with movies playing the whole time lots of board games to play and they even have prizes to win from the arcade games just like a Dave and busters so you can save your tickets for something cool. I could keep going but I'm sure you get the point please check this place out have a birthday here, bring some friends and hangout, go on a fun date with your loved one whatever the occasion is Im sure you will have a good time here I hope you all enjoy this place as much I did (I'm sure you will) Last thing they have a super cute bunny by the prizes you have to come pet him

I was at the Country Aire in December. It was buffet night. The bar was busy and it took me 2…read moreminutes to get served. There was also a banquet and a live band. The live band was entertaining. For Dinner, I selected the buffet. They had fried chicken, beef tips, potatoes, stuffing, corn, excellent salad bar. There were some discrepencies. At first, I found salad bar items on the dessert table instead on the salad bar like the cocktail sauce for the salad bar shrimp. All items for the salad bar should be on the salad bar table. Dessert table should only have all dessert items. The food was covered and not shown, have to lift lids to see what is underneath. The food was very hot and looks like it was made fresh. The biscuits tasted fresh and were warm that were served at the table. As I looked around, I took the place as being classy so I figured they have finger bowls for washing oilly fingers. I requested a finger bowl due to handling oil foods like the chicken and they didn't have any and they gave me wet wipes. There was a person who was dressed as an employee who was wandering around the tables but did not pick up a plate nor helped any of the staff. I didn't know what her purpose was. Cleansiness: The dining room is clean, but I had to request the mens room to be cleaned. The bar area was also clean and I enjoyed the mirror that makes the bar area look bigger in size. Overall, I give 4 stars and excellent service, the food tasted excellent, and I will recommend others to go here.

The venue is stunning for an outdoor wedding and the accommodations if weather is not on your side, outstanding. I have been to a number of outdoor, rustic/farm weddings, this place hits the proverbial " ball " out of the park! Not only is the venue and the buildings beautiful, the staff, workers, and the owners, Kristin(hope spelling is correct) and Steve, are true blue, salt of the earth, very professional, polite, kind,, and above accommodating. They kept everything flowing without any hiccups. I was so impressed with how involved the owners were, on making this day "perfect" for the new bride and groom, family and guests.Beyond that for all those thinking beyond- the parking was easy and close, with a lot of room, the bathrooms(we all know that is important at a big gathering), were spacious, clean, decorated, and well stocked. Accommodations for those from out of town, as we were, 15 minutes away in Black River Falls. We stayed at the Comfort Suite - it was more than we needed for a family of 5.For those wanting a venue such as this, all I can say, is, don't let this Diamond in the rough, go unchecked. Kudos to this family and this total package of true elegance, and outstanding service they have put together in the rolling hills of west central Wisconsin!
