Preview Post: Barlow Planetarium

The Barlow Planetarium in Menasha looks like a really neat place to visit.  I've actually never been to a planetarium, but I really want to take the kids here when they get a little bit older.

It is important to note that you have to look at their show schedule in order to plan your visit, but they seem to run shows pretty regularly.  They also hold special events throughout the year.

The Barlow Planetarium claims to have a state-of-the-art projection system.  It is run by UW-Fox Valley.

Preview Post: Badger Sports Park

Badger Sports Park in Appleton bills itself as an entertainment center.  They have a pretty good selection of activities to choose from.  It looks like the older your family is, the more they will be able to participate.  A few of the attractions have age restrictions (laser tag, go karts), others are just not realistic for the littles (batting cages).

This place looks like a lot of fun for an active family.  It could definitely add up, though. There are hourly or daily passes (with some exclusions); you can also pay a la carte per activity.
