Waupun, WI Makes Me Smile! 4.5 rating By Anonymous ( May 28, 2018) Waupun, Wisconsin is just a fantastic place. I don't know how else to put it. I have lived all over the United States and in my humble opinion, Waupun is one of the best areas in Wisconsin. I have been living in Waupun now for just about 6 years and I really love everything about ...Read More it. I will admit that the schools could use some improvement, but at least we have a practically non-existent crime rate which is a miracle in these times. The people who live here are so wonderful. The community really is a community and welcomes everyone with open arms. The neighborhoods and the homes are well taken care of and reflect the pride of the people who live in them. Even the weather here is picture perfect most of the time!


I also enjoy the attractions and fun things to do here like visiting the Marsh Haven Nature Center, the Horicon National Wildlife Refuge, the Golz Orchard and Farmers Market, and one of my personal favorites, the Masters of Movement School of Dance. There really is something for everyone here, and I can't recommend it highly enough. Read Less
