 Simple games and pleasures bring new discoveries to all ages. Visualize skipping rocks across the creek, watching the wildlife frolic in the forest, or strolling down the sidewalk enjoying homemade ice cream or old-fashioned rock candy.
Imagine a day full of fun that brings smiles to everyone’s face — time to share with just family, a time to disconnect from the world, if only for a few days. Wide open spaces where children can run, laugh and enjoy Mother Nature. Listen to stories being told under clear, star-filled skies, lighting bugs filling the air, and the sweet scents of a summer night.
Family memories are created here in Brown County. Ride on an open-air train or a horse, hike a trail or bird watch, paddle a canoe or pan for gold, watch socks being made or hear a symphony of handbells. Your options are only as limited as your imagination.
