Summer day? Snow day? “I’m booooooored” day? Whatever day it is for your family, these three local spots have been voted among the Best Places to Take Your Kids year after year. Beaver Creek Reserve (S1 County Road K, Fall Creek) takes the crown this year for its 400 acres filled with wonder year-round, from snow-covered trails in winter to the Butterfly House in summer. The innovative Children’s Museum of Eau Claire (126 N. Barstow St., Eau Claire) will be sure to educate and delight kids from toddlers to preteens. Want an animal adventure? The zoo at Irvine Park (125 Bridgewater Ave., Chippewa Falls) lets kiddos get up close to a collection of critters, both familiar and exotic. —Tom Giffey
