Northwoods Children's  Museum
Historic Adventures


From an elegant tea party, to surviving a volcanic eruption, to becoming a slave on the underground railroad - each adventure uses imagination to transport participants to another place and time.  Adventures use as many senses as possible and, in the process, bring history to life!

Historic Adventures are offered to school field trips as part of the three, four or five star field trip experience.  Most adventures are offered from September to April with the Volcano Adventure being offered September through May.

Historic adventures are offered to the public from time to time.  Each person participating in a public adventure must have a ticket.  Ticket prices are as follows;
