One Of A Kind Family Activity Center Has Opened In Wisconsin

In Wisconsin, a new family activity center has opened and it is one of a kind.

Looking For Fun Family Activities

I remember when my daughter was young, we were always looking for fun activities that we could do as a family and keep her busy. It was the best way to avoid the whole, "I'm Bored" routine. We did not have tons of extra cash to do things like amusement parks all the time. We were looking for more affordable places to take her. Something outside usually did the trick. Plus, the fresh air seemed to tire her out.

New Family Activity Center Opens In Wisconsin

I really wish there was something like this place around back in those days. It is a short drive from Rockford. It is not a lot of money. Plus, so many activities to do there and it is outside.

According to gazettextra.com, 

"On 15 fenced-in acres at his Nature’s Touch Garden Center on Janesville’s far west side, Elrod and his staff have built an outdoor entertainment center geared toward young kids, adolescents, teens, and adults alike."

 

"Elrod said he has been working alongside 10 others for about two years to transform some of the land at his garden and landscaping services center at 5013 Highway 11 into an outdoor family activity center."

 

“It’s like the old-style, outdoor McDonald’s Play Land from the ’80s, only it’s way bigger and everything is adult-proof,” Elrod said.“
