Events & Summer Camp attendance
Hi everyone -
We have noticed that admission is down for the first 4 months of this year. We are about 4800 behind 2023 and 1900 behind 2019 (our best year). 2023 started strong and then began to slow in the fall. Our community events are lower in attendance, leading to one reason for lower attendance numbers.

Wisconsin museums/places to tour open tomorrow/Monday???
Good afternoon!

If anyone might be working that day & interested in letting me take a walk around, I'd greatly appreciate it. Or if you have any suggestions of other similar places to check-out, please let me know. I already have plans to v...
