4 Seasons Mini Golf, an indoor mini-golf course, opens at Uptown Janesville mall

JANESVILLE — Just outside the Kohl's store at Uptown Janesville mall, you can putt a neon-colored golf ball down a road a tortoise and hare racing, then across a glowing, frozen lake, and then over a slippery, glasslike section of carpet an animatronic dragon has "melted" with his flaming breath. It's all from the mind of Dalton Knueppel, owner and developer of 4 Seasons Mini Golf, a new indoor mini golf course that opened this month at Uptown Janesville. Knueppel's imagination was captivated and molded by his grandfather's buildout of a small mini golf course years ago. He'd always wanted to build one himself. Knueppel, a structural steel foreman who builds towers and stadiums, has never built a mini golf course; he simply likes them and he's got a disarming business model when it comes to putt-putt golf: "I have kids. I wanted to bring some entertainment and happiness to Janesville. We need a little bit of entertainment around here," Knueppel said. Knueppel said he scouted out several retail and commercial buildings seeking space, but he said it was "very difficult" to find a tenant interested in leasing for a a not-yet-designed mini golf course. Knueppel and his partner, Shauna

Children's Museum open delayed while parts for elevator, exhibit remain on hold

JANESVILLE — The highly anticipated opening of the WonderVault children’s museum in downtown Janesville will be delayed one month, Executive Director Kent Anderson said. Anderson said earlier this year that the opening was slated in November. However, the museum continues to wait for a needed elevator part, and installation of an exhibit is also being delayed. The WonderVault is now set to open sometime in December. Anderson said the museum hopes to have a grand opening date soon. The museum is no stranger to waiting. Its journey began in 2008 but, opening the 100 W. Milwaukee St. site stalled during the Great Recession. Community efforts regained momentum in the 2010s through a traveling “Museum on Wheels” program before the COVID-19 pandemic slowed progress once again. In 2022, organizers launched a capital campaign that ultimately raised about $14.5 million to construct the permanent museum. Rather than replicating exhibits found in larger children’s museums across the country, designers built the museum around experiences familiar to children growing up in Rock County. Designers from Memphis, Tenn., visited local farms, conducted community focus groups and developed exhibits centered on three themes: the Rock River, innovative manufacturing and precision agriculture. Those themes appear throughout the

This Wisconsin Bakery Has Sugar-Free Treats That Don’t Skimp On Flavor

Keto Boston Cream Cake. Keto Key Lime Bars. Keto Chocolate Chip Cookie Swirl Cheesecake. That lineup sounds like a cheat day, yet every item skips the sugar. The cheesecake bars alone get my attention. Creamy vanilla cheesecake sits on an almond flour crust with whipped cream on top. They’re low-carb, sugar-free, and gluten-free, which feels almost unfair.
