Ice Formations

Nelson's on Rush River
If you are looking for something unique to do with kids, take them to Nelson's on Rush River, just north of Maiden Rock.  This is technically in someone's backyard, however, every year the owner (Roger) sets up these ice structures from the artesian well that springs from their land.  He uses piping to create about two dozen of these freeform frozen structures to walk around.  They are even lit at night if you are looking for something to do in the evening.  There is no cost to see these, but there is a donation box available by the parking area.  Another thing to consider is there is no cell service down the valley this property is on.  I remember thinking I had driven too far, but I kept going and eventually found the property; it is actually pretty hard to miss.  If you are looking for somewhere with more to do, check out Ellsworth, WI about 20 minutes from here.
