For anyone who frequents Minocqua, I recommend stopping into the Northwoods Wildlife Center - http://www.northwoodswildlifecenter.com/ It's a wildlife animal hospital that caters specifically to non-domestic animals, and they give tours to see their "resident" animals - owls, turtles, snakes, etc. It's the kind of place that I'd imagine the elementary and middle schools use as a field trip stop often, but it's a really cool (and free) walkthrough if you need something to do.
