Have Fun in the Great Indoors

We all know that Wisconsin weather can go any way the wind blows, but one thing that’s predictable, is how much fun you can have indoors in Eagle River. So, even when the weather’s got you down, we’ve got the pick-me-ups to turn your day around. Check them out for your next visit.

Spend the Day Downtown

Downtown, you’ll find Northwoods gift shops nestled among unique clothing and jewelry stores, museums, indoor attractions, and restaurants are all in close proximity to one another, so you’re never braving the elements for too long.

Ready for Retail Therapy?

Sometimes a day downtown to enjoy some shopping is just what the doctor ordered. No matter what you’re looking for, chances are an Eagle River area shop has it. Premier clothing and apparel for yourself or a loved one can be found at Frederick’s Corner Shoppe and Glik’s, among others. Let The Hiker Box inspire your next hike on the trails or that camping trip you’re planning for later this year. Do-it-yourselfers can pick up their next project at Eagle Craft & Hobby. Antiques hunters love to see the collections at Lyn’s Antiques.  And those looking for fun family games can find something that speaks to them at Grandma’s Toy Box.

Cultural Cornerstones

The history and culture of Eagle River run as deep as its lakes. And thanks to some special people and organizations in the area, there are places to learn about it and explore it tangibly.

The Northwoods Children’s Museum is perfect for families looking for a place that offers learning and interaction. This is no ordinary museum; this facility offers hands-on experiences that you’ll talk about for years. For the art-curious crowd, The Warehouse Art Center provides free and low-cost classes so you can try your hand at a masterpiece. Fans of the theater can take in a show thanks to the Headwaters Council for the Performing Arts and Three Lakes Center for the Arts. History buffs will love the Eagle River Historical Society Museum. But be sure to check their hours of operation before visiting.

Indoor Activities

Not all our exhilarating fun is found on the trails. Test your marksmanship skills while throwing axes at Kickin’ Axe Up North. If you’re bringing along smaller travelers, step right next door to see if you can solve the puzzle in an hour at Northwoods Escape Room. And for the 21+ adventurer, Lake of the Torches Resort Casino and Lac Vieux Desert Northern Waters Casino Resort can both provide fun and maybe some extra cash in your hand if you’re lucky.

Indoor Fun for Anyone

Whatever the season, rain, shine or snow, we’ve got you covered—literally. From downtown shopping to immersive indoor activities, the Eagle River area has an experience you’ll want to see for yourself. Who knows, it might just become part of your Up North traditions.
