Appleton

The Fox River Valley is made up of Appleton, Fond du lac, Neenah and Oshkosh. At the very heart is Appleton. With a population of just under 76,000, Appleton still has the ability to combine small town living with an urban appeal. A bonus is the very affordable cost of living. In recent years, art and music have found its way into the city – offering an array of new hot spots and festivals, including The Trout Museum of Art, The Performing Art Center, Octoberfest and Mile of Music which brings in an eclectic group of musicians who provide four days of free entertainment in Downtown Appleton. Fishing, biking and hiking trails are also aplenty if you tend to lean more towards outdoor adventures. Some favorite eats in the area include Carmella’s an Italian Bistro, Antojitos Mexicanos and Bowl Ninety-One and All Tied Up Floral Cafe. However, if you’re looking for more hands-on experiences check out Building for Kids Children’s Museum, Board & Brush Creative Studio, Escape Room Wisconsin and the Pawffee Shop Cat Cafe.
