Question 1

What are the major attractions in Appleton?

Accepted Answer

If your trip to Appleton is all organized but your itinerary is looking a bit empty, we can give you a few hints and tips.

Hearthstone Historic House Museum deserves way more than just a quick drive-by. Step out of your car and spend some time exploring this iconic sight during your time in Appleton.

Whatever you do, don't forget to pack your camera when you swing by Fox Cities Performing Arts Center. This terrific attraction is guaranteed to offer some wonderful photo ops.

Not too far from the city center, Appleton Memorial Park is one attraction you might like to put on your must-see list. If you still have room on that itinerary, Erb Park and Telulah Park will keep you busy as well.

Question 2

What are the best road trip destinations near Appleton?

Accepted Answer

If you're looking for a day-trip destination, we've got some ideas. Situated 18 miles away, Oshkosh is worth jumping in the car for. See the best sights starting with EAA AirVenture Museum, Menominee Park and Menominee Nation Arena. Locals are also likely to point you toward Green Bay, 25 miles away. If you can only see one thing here, let it be Lambeau Field. (But we'd also recommend Resch Center and Oneida Casino.)

Question 3

What kind of rental car should I get for Appleton?

Accepted Answer

Making your way to Appleton to check off Hearthstone Historic House Museum and Gardens of the Fox Cities? Now that's what we call a dream road trip! But it's a good idea to give a bit of thought to how you'll get around. Driving in this sprawling metropolis can be stressful, so opt for something small, like an economy car. You'll be squeezing past traffic and scoring car spaces like a local. If you'd prefer to leave the driving for outside the city center, that's fine by us too. Reserve something more comfortable and a little bigger, like an SUV, and explore the lakes of Outagamie County.

Question 4

Should I get a luxury rental car in Appleton?

Accepted Answer

First of all, there's a wide variety of both economy and high-end rental vehicles available in Appleton. What you end up opting for will depend on your funds and the activities you've got planned. Prestige vehicles are hard to beat if you're all about mod cons and comfort. If you're splurging, why not book a fully kitted-out SUV, or perhaps a stylish mid-sized vehicle? Otherwise, if you just need something to whiz around town in as cheaply as possible, you're better off going with an economy vehicle (or something else that won't burn a hole in your wallet).

Question 5

What side of the road do they drive on in Appleton?

Accepted Answer

You'll have to keep right when driving in Appleton. Not only that, exercise a little extra caution if it's your first time behind the wheel here. Once you've got the hang of how the locals drive, you can relax and enjoy the new scenery!
