Description

Explore Appleton from downtown to the Fox River on a Segway ride that combines city energy, beautiful river scenery, and plenty of fun along the way. After a little training and practice, you’ll glide through downtown Appleton before making your way toward the Fox River. The route changes as you ride — from active downtown streets and local landmarks to greener, quieter stretches next to the water. One of the best parts of this tour is the variety. You’ll cruise along trails and riverfront areas, see parts of Appleton that you miss from a car, and have plenty of time to simply enjoy riding the Segway. Your guide will share stories about Appleton, the Fox River, and how the city grew around the water, with stops for photos and interesting sights along the way. It’s a fun way to experience two sides of Appleton in one outing — the lively downtown and the scenic Fox River — while covering much more ground than you could comfortably explore on foot.
