There's also an ice rink that they are working on. Might have to come back and try it out.

I went on line to find the closest fireworks store to Rochester, MN but most were closed by the time I was done working. Maximum Load Fireworks in Arcadia Wisconsin was opened till 9pm. Even though they were over an hour from Rochester I went and figured I'd just follow the river going back home and treat it as a mini vacation because it is such a beautiful drive. Don't be surprised that it's not easy to find because my GPS didn't bring me to the right spot and the store is in a very remote area. After calling the owner they directed me to the store and I found it easily then. When I pulled up, to my surprise it was a real fun looking place and there was a bunch of cute fun teens out front shooting off fireworks - I thought what fun place. When I walked in there was a lot of friendly and knowlegdeable teens to help you decide what to get. Right away a baby goat came trotting up and my heart just melted. They let me pet and hold the goat, it was only a couple of days old. It was sooo cute! They not only had fireworks but they had a petting zoo and fairy garden too, outside. After I purchased my fireworks thanks to the very helpful staff a very cute teen girl gave me a tour of the zoo and fairy garden. I had so much fun. Even though I live 3 hours away from Maximum Load Fireworks I think I will make this a yearly mini vacation and bring my family with next time. Thanks so much you guys.

Nestled in between two local parks, there's amazing entertainment, events (don't miss the wife carry!!) rides and games for your little ones, and delicious food/drink! This year was exactly what I would come to expect from the monona community after the 2020 absence, amazing! The fireworks though, always incredible but this year was bar none! They spare no expense and make it an unforgettable experience and by far the best place to watch fireworks in the southern part of Wisconsin. I was lucky enough to be a vendor for the Art fair for the first time this year, as I've been dreaming of doing so since I was little. Such an amazing experience! The event coordinator was wonderful and very thorough with planning and checking in on all of us vendors to make sure we were ready to go and happy. Thanks Laurie! And thanks to volunteers and everyone who made this year spectacular! Only thing I wish was more abundant was hand washing stations, though I'm sure they're hard to get ahold of nowadays.

I learned that the business started out as a garage sale, and some of the rooms do seem rummage sale/flea market-esque. We'd actually driven by once before but they were closed then. There was a fair amount of fireworks for sale, but what stands out when you arrive is the metal lawn art and concrete statuary. I had a fun time walking through looking at all of it (with some yard birds accompanying me), although some of it did seem fairly old. Mr. R found some cheap records inside and it was a good place to get out and stretch our legs.

Fair disclosure: We live within walking distance of this park, so our review is probably biased. The place is just plain cool. Large structures with almost any type of climbing, sliding, or running doodad you can think of. The build is solid, and it is incredibly well maintained. The surrounding ball fields are just as nice. Fenced in to keep the local canines from stealing your balls, and ample parking for large events like Rugby or Soccer tournaments. This is also where the town has their annual Fireman's Festival put on by the local fire department. The festival has been struggling the last years but they just recently took the time to revise the company providing the rides, and brought back the Fireworks so it is a ton better (a trend we hope they continue). The only thing lacking is access to public bathrooms. Unless there is an event going on, they are locked. I am sure it's for safety reasons, but it sucks if you have a need to lose some weight pretty quickly.... If you are in from out of town visiting family and have younger kids, this place is definitely worth taking a short jaunt to. If you don't live in or aren't visiting CG, I wouldn't say it's worth a dedicated drive unless you are attending an event.
