We enjoy going to the farmers market most Saturday mornings especially in the fall! Hot coffee or cocoa, homemade pastries and roasted sweet corn are some of our favorite go-tos!

The Little Farmer (Pumpkin & Apple Picking) — If you want a scenic drive through fall foliage, apple picking, or a family-friendly petting zoo, we recommend The Little Farmer. It’s about a 45-minute drive from Neenah; taking the east side of Lake Winnebago is especially pretty.

Depending on when you arrive in the Cheeseland, plan time to tour Lambeau Field Stadium (1265 Lombardi Ave), grab a pint at Titletown Brewing, and explore downtown Green Bay for great photo ops. If there’s a Packers game that weekend, book tour tickets or game seats well in advance.

The Globe Café — Cozy coffee shop with outdoor fire pits, perfect for morning lattes or evening hot cocoa; just a short walk from the Hilton Neenah. Fun fact: we often stop here while planning the wedding or before walking around Loop the Lake (3.5 mile trail around Little Lake Buttes de Morts)

The Building for Kids — Hands-on children’s museum in downtown Appleton (100 W College Ave). A day pass is $11 per person and infants under 12 months are free; the museum includes a sensory room, a jungle gym, and rotating interactive exhibits that are perfect for toddlers and elementary-age kids. Family-friendly, stroller-accessible, and great for a rainy afternoon—call (920) 734-3226 or visit http://www.buildingforkids.org/ for hours and ticket info.
