New travelers might be tempted to leave small town America off of their travel wish list.<\/p>\n

\n

It\u2019s easy to think that lesser known cities don\u2019t have the draw that larger ones do.\u00a0However, small cities offer more than meets the eye<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Here are a few cool spots that I\u2019ve recently discovered.\u00a0I think you\u2019d enjoy a visit to any one of them.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Geneva<\/p>\n

Wisconsin Dells, Wisconsin<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

Fire-breathers, glass walkers, and human pretzels.<\/p>\n

If you thought Wisconsin Dells would be your average city, you\u2019re mistaken. Along with the\u00a0extraordinary wonders<\/strong>\u00a0that you\u2019ll find here, visitors will be delighted to discover many other attractions.<\/p>\n

From\u00a0indoor water parks to wildlife adventure parks<\/strong>, you won\u2019t run out of things to do in\u00a0Wisconsin Dells<\/a>. Stay at the\u00a0Cedar Lodge & Settlement<\/a>\u00a0for a spectacular view of the Wisconsin River and lots of fun at its indoor water park.<\/p>\n

Milwaukee, Wisconsin<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

If you\u2019re a beer lover,\u00a0Milwaukee<\/a>\u00a0won\u2019t disappoint.<\/p>\n

For everyone else, you\u2019ll find plenty of\u00a0places to visit beyond the breweries<\/strong>. Borrow one of the bikes available through the local bike share program, and enjoy a day exploring Milwaukee in a new way.<\/p>\n

A few places of interest include the\u00a0Milwaukee Art Museum and the Milwaukee Public Market<\/strong>. For an unforgettable stay, book at the\u00a0Brumder Mansion Hotel<\/a>. Guest rooms are in limited supply, so don\u2019t wait too long to make a reservation!<\/p>\n

Lake Geneva, Wisconsin<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

You\u2019ll have around\u00a021 miles of lakefront<\/strong>\u00a0to explore if you\u2019re lucky enough to vacation in\u00a0Lake Geneva<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Visitors can enjoy sunbathing at one of the many beaches or participating in water sports on the Lake.<\/p>\n

Other not-to-be-missed attractions include museums, theaters, and wineries.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Stay at the\u00a0Timber Ridge Lodge and Waterpark<\/a>. Not only do guest rooms feature fireplaces, whirlpools, and kitchens, but your reservation also comes with water park entry.<\/p>\n

Wheeling, West Virginia<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

Without droves of tourists to crowd the major attractions and skyrocket prices,Wheeling<\/a>\u00a0is the\u00a0perfect town to live as a local<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Take your time exploring your surroundings at your leisure, and connect with those who call Wheeling home. From Oglebay Park to the Suspension Bridge,visitors will not tire of scenic attractions to traverse.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The\u00a0Wheeling Island Hotel<\/a>\u00a0is a sure bet for a stay that will never get boring. Enjoy on-site attractions, including a racetrack and casino, for nonstop fun and entertainment.<\/p>\n

Herndon, Virginia<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

Located 24 miles outside of Washington, DC,\u00a0Herndon<\/a>\u00a0is a\u00a0welcomed reprieve<\/strong>\u00a0from the extreme business of urban life.<\/p>\n

Not only will you find enough restaurants to maintain variety in your trip, but you\u2019ll also\u00a0enjoy a wide selection of novel attractions<\/strong>, like the Herndon Escape Room and the Perils of the Lost Jungle Miniature Golf.<\/p>\n

The\u00a0Candlewood Suites Washington, Dulles Herndon<\/a>\u00a0isn\u2019t your typical airport hotel. Guest rooms are well-equipped and include a spacious kitchen and workspace.<\/p>\n

Even though these towns aren\u2019t featured on many folks\u2019 top ten lists, lesser known cities can surprise you with their unique attractions and fun accommodations.<\/p>\n

Carve out some vacation time<\/strong>\u00a0to see what everyone else is missing!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
