Our police are decent, but beware of the surrounding cities if youve got a lead foot, and the city is pretty much overrun by old poeple so it almost entirely shuts down at 9 or 10

Fishing/Boating on Winnebago and the Fox River
babybird Says: I have done plenty of fishing and boating on Lake Winnebago, The Fox River, Lake Poygen, and Lake Buttes Des Morts in my 10 years here. Winnebago is about 30 miles in length and roughly 5 miles wide and offers many scenic areas for life afloat. There are Walleye andWhite...

ollever906 Says: The P.A.C. is a sight to be seen in itself. Right in the center of downtown Appleton, 25,000 Square Foot, 4 Level Marvel is pretty sweet to say the least! With popular performers such as Cher or David Copperfield, to All out Shows like the Producers.... (and mhmmm the seats...

OLD BAVARIAN: OLD BAVARIAN is outstanding!
babybird Says: It is family owned and a quiet pleasant place to enjoy a leisurely meal. Mostly it featuresauthentic German cooking from the old country, but there is a nice variety to the menu. Prices are reasonable too for fine dining. They brew a variety of their own beers and those are...
Fratello's: Bistro and bar overlooking the Fox River
yooperprof Says: On an icy December day, my friend Dmitri took me for a nice lunch at Fratello's, just south of downtown Appleton overlooking the Fox River. The restaurant is part of what was once a bustling paper factory, and it enjoys dramatic views over a section of the river that is both...

Shark's Club Pool Hall or Billiards: Shark's
amyleej07 Says: I was very disappointed with the management there. I went there with my boyfriend the evening of March 3, 2007 to shoot some pool. We were having a great time and we got hungry and wanting a snack. We went up to the bar and decided we wanted onion rings. We were waiting for...
alvi21 Says: The Valley Transit buses run within the Fox Cities. Buses run hourly so it is rather inconvenient if you miss your bus. There is no bus service on Sundays. All buses have bike racks on the front. You must be trained and certified (for a fee of $2.00) to use the bike racks on...
pumpkin915 Says: Highway 41 circles Appleton on the outer edge on the west side and north side and has 6 exits into Appleton. Highway 441 is fairly new and circles Appleton on the outer edge on the south side and east side. 441 is really like a highway that penetrates the city. There is alot...
PRIME OUTLETS MALL: Great discounts on name brands
babybird Says: There are great bargains on discontinued or overstocked name brands within the Prime Outlets Mall in Oshkosh. Some of the key names include Eddie Bauer, Wilson Leather,Corningware, and Adidas. Although you still have to know what you are looking for, and NOT EVERYTHING is...
FOX RIVER MALL: A bit of Everything
babybird Says: For a medium-medium/small metro area, Fox River Mall is still fairly impressive. You will find everything from fine leather goods to great coffee and special gifts. Most of the well known midwestern or national chains are housed here or in the perimeter of the mall area.
babybird Says: .....if I were a female, I would probably avoid being in the parking ramps at night alone.Aside from that, don't speed in Appleton, Neenah, Menasha or Oshkosh. If it says 30 and you are doing 35 you're right on the borderline for a ticket. Same thing goes for drunken...
Surrounding area cops and odd laws
ollever906 Says: Appleton's cops are pretty decent, but if you leave the city limits.... watch your speed, theyre pretty unforgiving. Also just a couple of parking tips... it is very likely that you will get a ticket in Appletons city limits if youre parked on the street from 2AM to 5AM......

The Timberrattlers are a minor league baseball team. The stadium is pretty new and is located north of Wisconsin Ave just west of highway 41. Great place to catch a somewhat professional baseball game. Lots of fun for the family.

hunterV Says: Speaking at the teachers' conference in Paper Valley conference hall. Mo matter how nervous I felt, it was necessary to address the audience after listening to numerous reports of other participants. I was very thankful to the organizers and wished my American colleagues...
Packerman Says: I grew up in Neenah, WI just 5 miles south of Appleton. I left the area for college when I was 17 and then permanently moved away when I turned 23. I moved back to the area 9 years later and now I appreciate the Fox Cities more than before. Just getting to know people and...
