Check Out the Area on Electric Bikes or Scooters
Eau Claire Bike Rental • 205 N. Dewey St., Eau Claire • eauclairebikerental.com

It’s never been easier to check out all of the beautiful trails Eau Claire has to offer than traveling by electric bike or scooter right through them. Grab your girls and a couple of rentals and you have an easy, fun way to navigate bridges, tunnels, trails, and more.

Yoni Steam. Yeah, You Heard Me
The Healing Agenda • 2839 Mall Dr., Eau Claire • thehealingagendaec.com

You and a friend can enjoy a bonding experience like no other at The Healing Agenda, one of the only places in Eau Claire to offer a yoni steam. What’s a yoni steam, you ask? It’s a mixture of herbs warmed in a basin placed below a special chair to sit, sending the herbal steam to your nether region. The Healing Agenda says the steam supports balanced PH, helps soothe menstrual cramps, recovery after childbirth, and more. Book the yoni steam with a friend, and enjoy the complimentary glass of wine while you sit together and bond like never before.

Get Matching Permanent Jewelry
Token Jewelry • 106 W. Grand Ave., Eau Claire • tokenjewelry.com
Hello Adorn • 312 S. Barstow St., Eau Claire • helloadorn.com

Instead of getting matching tattoos (you could do that too, though, no judgment!), you can get matching permanent jewelry at not one, but two places in Eau Claire. They both have an array of silver and gold options, charm add-ons, and frequent appointment openings, making it super simple and fun to get permanent bracelets.

Go For a Float (When the Weather Allows)
Loopy’s Grill & Saloon • 10691 County HWY X, Chippewa Falls • 723loop.com

When the temperamental Wisconsin weather is treating us well, there’s nothing quite like a leisurely trip down the Chippewa River on a tube. Luckily, Loopy’s Bar & Grill has everything you need to make the trip easy. With tube, kayak, and canoe rentals, plus a shuttle service to take you downstream, you can begin or end your river adventure at Loopy’s. End the activity by grabbing a bite to eat at Loopy’s and a drink at the Cruzan Rum Tiki Bar.

DINING

Brunch with the Best

For some delicious brunch with a potential mimosa on the side, there are plenty of great spots in the area. Try out The Good Wives (2161 Eastridge Center, Eau Claire) and their ever-evolving menu of fresh and unique eats, popular for its creative dishes and plant-based and vegetarian-friendly options. The Nucleus (405 Water St., Eau Claire) is well-loved for their tried-and-true sweet or savory breakfast options (including vegan fare!). Catch a drag brunch or live music while you eat at The Lakely (516 Galloway St., Eau Claire), and enjoy delicious coffee, pastries, and other treats with your brunch at The French Press (2823 London Rd., Eau Claire).

Mid-Day Treats

Enjoy a mid-day snack or quick meal in between activities at these local hotspots. Nosh on gourmet baked goods and delectable coffee at the Nostalgic Bean (1403 Lynn Ave., Altoona) or ECDC (205 S Barstow St., Eau Claire), grab a sandwich or other treats at Eau Claire Cheese & Deli (1636 Harding Ave., Eau Claire), and snag a delicious quick lunch from Acoustic Cafe (505 S Barstow St. #A, Eau Claire).
