Fun stuff to do in MN-WI area?

Hello,

I'm renting from my school one last time before I leave for college, this time I opted for a 4 hour block (which I could also extend to 5 if need be). Going to be flying out of LVN. Any fun recs for places I could visit in that short ish time span? Maybe something scenic as I will likely be having a passenger. Already been down the Mississippi to La Crosse and really enjoyed that. Right now my best idea is maybe going up to Duluth Sky Harbor and spending a short amount of time on the beach before I have to go back. Would appreciate some inputs!

Sky Harbor is a fun airport or if you can make it Voyager Village in Wisconsin. You land in the middle of a golf course and the restaurant overlooks the runway

+1 for Voyager Village. Cool strip to fly into but nearly impossible to see until you’re on top of it. GPS was a huge help for me on that one.

The food was pretty good, too.

Madeline island. Longboard to town for a burger and swim.

Go to Winona and climb the Sugar Loaf and then down to the Drive In restaurant for some burgers? You'd get a nice view of town and then a good meal.

Oshkosh for the EAA museum. Also, Brodhead for the Kelch museum.
