We know you want to test out your new wheels. How about heading out on a day trip to Eau Claire? Just 40 miles away, roll down those windows and enjoy the wind in your hair on the way there. Oakwood Mall, Chaos Waterpark and Action City alone justify the drive out here. The locals will also probably point you in the direction of Chippewa Falls, 45 miles away. If you only have time for one attraction here, make sure it’s Lake Wissota State Park. (But we’d also highly recommend Jacob Leinenkugel Brewing Company and Chippewa Falls Museum of Industry and Technology.)
