We visited from chicago , honestly I loved it. I love that the beach is so close by & so you get to see the animals but also an amazing view. We got to brush the goats which was an awesome experience. Seen the animals up close. We did everything from 12 -4 pm.

We came here on a Saturday and it was a very fun time! Its a smaller zoo but they have some great animals and exhibits. Hearing the waves of Lake Michigan crash onto shore as you walk through the zoo is an extra treat! Some of the exhibits were closed which was a little dissapointing. But overall we had a good time. Don't forget to visit Buckner, a parrot who will chat with you if hes wiling. Overall it's a nice small zoo with a good mission. And love it's right on the beach of Lake Michigan!
Andrew D — Google review
I hear so many people saying this Zoo isn’t worth a visit.. but boy are they wrong! It’s not huge with lots of hoopla, but the animals were active, and all were out and about! The snack shops were good. And the staff friendly and full of answers and info about each and every animal! So go! It’s a great afternoon spent!
Lisa R — Google review
Always underwhelmed by how few animals we see. Took more pictures with the art. Got a season pass for something easy to do with the kids. Regret it! The kids are immediately bored and head straight to the playground. Lost a piece of chrome trim driving through the immense construction on the north end. No refund for booking a camp week that didnt work out for us. Quite a few exhibits need basic updating like glass you cant see through or need signs. Kind and friendly employees, but overall not interactive, lacks any stellar exhibits or modern technology, and pales in comparison to similar exhibits such as the discovery museum in milwaukee. Takes about 20 minutes to walk through.
Carla M — Google review
Charming, clean and plenty of space. Not overly crowded at all. Instant check in. Friendly staff. Quite a few enclosures were closed but there were still lots of animals to be seen. The rum bucket purchased at "The Local Watering Hole" drink stand was delicious. Got up and close to the lionesses behind the glass.

Went for the Halloween walk through the grounds. Very family friendly with lots to see and plenty of picture opportunities for the whole family. $10 to get in. Free street parking.

Lighthouses
The Windpoint Lighthouse, constructed in 1880, remains operational on a sandy beachfront of Lake Michigan. It is closed for visitors to climb the tower but open to roam around the property with beautiful scenery facing Lake Michigan. The lighthouse has outside restrooms, gardens and a picturesque beach area for warmer months. The well-maintained small parking space is not crowded and offers a relaxing environment with benches to sit and enjoy the view.
small but quaint! walk around the little park, walk down to the beach, pick up shells and take a look around the Lake and the lighthouse. A cute place to just come and unwind and maybe eat lunch while disconnecting from the world.
Viv P — Google review
This is a must go and it is Free. There are little historical informational signs along side of the building and light house which would be great for a nice walk and time with the family to get away from the house. There is also a beach but more of a distressed beach but extremely nice to walk but bring your shoes or sandles can be rocky and sea shells on some area's. But is nice not a lot of people there and kinda romantic and relaxing. You can easily have a nice romantic picnic out there. But for a free event to do with your mate or your family is a great time to take pictures and learn some real important history and have a time to get away. To climb the light house is only certain days and its a fee but that you will have to look online about $12 for adults kids are cheaper and little ones are free. Good day people keep the smile on your face 😊 I also included some pictures of a little hut someone put some effort in a good place to take pictures maybe 7 blocks walking distance

Beautiful place. Very less crowds when we visited few weeks ago. The sunset is beautiful. The whole area just seems very nice and quiet.
KAY S — Google review
Peaceful area for a stop, stroll, and bit of a relax.. The lighthouse and building are cute and house a local PD. An easy walk will cover the entire grounds allowing you see the main building, power room, fog horn building, etc. Plenty of signs around the property to give history and information. Would definitely recommend this one for anyone into this type of landmark.

Loved this spot. Peaceful, good history, a great view of Lake Michigan where you can walk in the sand and sip your feet in. Some history about a shipwreck and a view finder but I didn't look in it.
Gail B — Google review
The lighthouse was beautiful and was very peaceful for a stop, it sets right next to a beach as well next to Lake Michigan, take in the sights, sounds, and smells of the fresh water. The Roads in Racine were rough getting here, but once you get to the driveway, it's fine
Steven T — Google review
Early morning solitude, park benches facing Lake Michigan and an unobstructed view to the horizon. Sometimes sailboats, sometimes flocks of birds skimming the water but always waves. Bring your binoculars just in case.
Ted P — Google review
We came up from Atlanta to see the air show. We flew into Chicago and drove to Racine. We went to the lighthouse and walked on the beach. We so enjoyed the nice breeze and the calmness of watching the waves .

Masterpiece. Beautiful house. The hosts/staff were very inviting and helpful. Will be back in the Summer to experience all of the green nature. Make sure you have reservations as that is the only way you can tour this one of a kind piece of art.
TK — Google review
Ahhh Wingspread… we need to chat a bit. I thought it was a bit odd at first that there were not any reviews from the actual retreat or conference center part and just the tour of Wingspread. Which made it a bit hard to prepare for my trip. Had I known about the menu, I would have brought snacks. Y’all kept this girl hungry! But that’s getting ahead of things now. Upon arriving it’s a bit confusing not knowing that there are actually 3 different buildings (technically 4). Kind of thought it was all 1 the way we were led to believe and how it’s just called “Wingspread”. Coming & going seemed to be frowned upon based on the gate closer and the security guard – who knew!? Although, had I not run out for brunch earlier that day the shuttles wouldn’t have known how to get in later that night when we returned from our tour late that first night. Luckily I remembered the code on the pad and shouted it from the back of the bus for our driver. Our schedule was jam packed and created from our side of things but let’s just say it started early and lasted late around the campfire. Leaving very little time for alone time or exploring, as you kept recommending… Every. Single. Meal. I. had. Was. Ice. Cold. And let me tell you, they weren’t all salads! From the first breakfast of ice-cold bacon and weird churro pancakes to my ice-cold filet mignon. I’m also someone who has to watch how much sugar I eat/have. That being said, almost everything was filled with sugar. Especially the snacks! What I wouldn’t have given for a cheese plate!! My biggest recommendation is to honestly bring snacks. I felt like I was pretty much living on Wine and popcorn. Because the meat was always cold. My favorite food? Probably that the marshmallows were individually packaged and separate from the graham crackers & chocolate. Again, sugar. A floor pantry? Have you ever met a person who needs morning coffee to function, let alone magically go from the walking dead to talking to real, live people?! I’m that person. Everyone was warned for day 2. The walk to the coffee pot was an extreme one, that you filled with many hurdles if you think about a morning routine. Recommendation: Bring a coffee pot & coffee if you want it in your room. Now, don’t get me wrong – your grounds are gorgeous! No doubt about it. I also could never find a trash can to save my life. I was always needing to ask to throw something away. Never knew I had that much trash until I couldn’t find a trash can… The best part and highlight of my week there? The staff! HANDS DOWN!! I had a blast with your staff!! They made the resort feel like home instantly! Casey was the brightest smile, biggest heart, best turkey hunter (we really just ran away screaming), always down for a dance party (glitter shoes and all!), most colorful and I just wanted to scoop him up and bring him home with me! Pauline was our top notch bar tender, hardworking and always down for a laugh! She was honestly there every time I turned a corner. Which, you know perfectly well there are a ton of corners on property. Greg was a delight every encounter and wonderfully attentive. Even Carole was great… chocolate stealer and all. (it’s a joke, she didn’t really steal it.)

Fun fact: The pool, which is 25 by 125, is the same size as the ‘standard Chicago lot’. So what most families, or multiple families, would purchase in Chicago, this family was swimming in!! A very interesting house by Frank Lloyd Wright and the stories that are included in the tour are a lot of fun! Definitely recommend that you go! The deal is even sweetened a little more considering it is free! Try to go to the SC Johnson Tour first if you can.
Joe C — Google review
Stopped without a prior reservation in the tour. Amanda the docent was SUPERB ... invited us in ... Made us feel like family. Gave us the rules and set us loose on the property till the next tour started. Amanda also was the host for the tour. She was very well informed humorous and very personable. She truly made out unanticipated visit golden.
Edward M — Google review
This free tour was pretty short but worth taking. You’re able to walk around most of the house, which is great, and the architecture is beautiful! I spent about 45 mins there and there is a 20 minute video as well as a 10-15 minute verbal tour.

Timber Ridge Lodge & Waterpark is a property designed in the traditional lodge-style offering suites with an indoor/outdoor water park and a restaurant. It's an ideal place for families to have a quick getaway, especially those with young children who can be entertained at this smaller water park. The indoor/outdoor hot tub provides relaxation during cold weather conditions.
This was a wonderful experience for my family. We went for my son’s eighth birthday. Everything was great across the board. We found the prices to be incredibly reasonable for everything. We were amazed! It was such a great time. My kids kept saying how nice everyone was that worked there was. The whole family loved the room, the kitchen with some essentials was a nice touch. The outdoor pool was my favorite part personally. The pool was deep enough for the adults to have fun and for the kids to stay safe as well. Life guards were attentive as well! Overall a great trip and hope to come back!

We had a wonderful time at Timber Ridge Lodge and Waterpark. Rooms were very clean and nice looking with fully equipped kitchens, Waterpark features slides, play areas and lazy river, there is an outdoor pool and a small mini golf course. Attractions include a fun arcade and a mini bowling area. We had a delicious meal at the Moose and Maple restaurant. The staff was super nice and helpful. The whole place was very clean and smelled fresh. The location is beautiful. Overall, 5 star experience. Highly recommended.

My party of 9 and I had a great time! We loved our two story room. We loved how peaceful relaxing on the balcony was. This kids loved the Waterpark. We did not try the restaurant. We ate at a restaurant 30 mins away in Delavan. There is a Piggly Wiggly 5 or so minutes away and that’s where we picked up our bday cake. Now sure some things could be restored. New toilets would be nice as they look old and worn. I noticed that the jacuzzi tub could use some attention. Also the furniture on the patio should be updated. All in all we had a good time! The fireplace is awesome too!
Leah P — Google review
Great getaway for the family. The rooms are spacious, a 1 bedroom suite accommodated our family of 4 perfectly. Moose and Maple (their in-house restaurant) is a gem, great food and our waitress Betty was 10/10, especially with the kiddos. Water park is awesome, loved that they have a big area for the smaller ones. Wish we stayed longer because there's a lot to do! Don't forget about the gift shop area with ice cream. They had a PJ story time at 8pm in the lobby!! The staff is great. Highly recommend.
Josh — Google review
I’d rate this resort 4 out of 5 stars. The property is very clean and offers a lot of amenities, including an indoor water park, arcade room, and bowling lanes. The staff was friendly and helpful throughout our stay, which made the experience even better. That said, there were a few drawbacks. The pillows and mattress were on the firm side, which made sleeping a bit uncomfortable, and the coffee in the general store was quite weak. In our room, the Jacuzzi bathtub only had one working jet, which was a little disappointing. Despite those minor issues, the resort overall is a great place to stay. Lake Geneva itself is beautiful, with lots of small shops to explore and a gorgeous walking path around the lake. Conveniently, right next door is the Grand Hotel, which has a Starbucks if you prefer stronger coffee. You can either take a quick drive or hop on the shuttle to get there. Overall, it’s a clean, family-friendly resort in a beautiful location, with just a few areas for improvement.
Shane B — Google review
The waterpark was fine- the kids had fun and it wasn't busy until lunch time. The rooms that were being used as changing rooms and bathrooms were disgusting. Our room was terribly musty, the bathroom door was very damaged, the tub wouldn't drain so we were showering in a pool of dirty water in a tub that didn't look all that clean to me. There was a loose door stopper just rolling around. The gap between the fridge and counter in kitchenette was very dirty. It was all very run down. The ice maker on our floor was broken and when I went to front desk, they sent me to the third floor, when I feel that they should have asked me my room number and brought me a bucket of ice. Also, the glass door on the ice maker was covered in fingerprints and the tile floor looked as if someone started trying to break it up. We ended up cutting our trip short and leaving a day early because we just didn't want to spend another night in our room. The communication via text was excellent, but you need to have a clean, up to date resort to back that customer service.
Sarah W — Google review
I always say it's not the problem it's how people react and correct the problem. We checked into our room and the toilet did not flush. Engineer showed up within 20 minutes to fix it. Then took a bath and the cover for the jet came off and I was coated in a Grey film. The bathtub was also out of body wash. I also had to clean the tub since there was a grey film all over the tub. Luckily I brought soap. I called for it to be fixed. They fixed it the next day and took almost all morning for them to do so. We had bad service for breakfast the first day but we had amazing service for dinner and breakfast the next day. I cannot say enough about the servers we have for dinner and breakfast the next day. The jets in the indoor/outdoor hot tub are not working. Despite everything that happened we did enjoy our little get away.

The Mountain Top Ski & Adventure Center at Grand Geneva is a winter destination offering skiing and snowboarding with rentals and classes for all ages. In addition to the outdoor activities, visitors can also explore the Geneva Lake Shore Path, a 21-26 mile walking path that provides stunning views of the lake and its surrounding mansions. The resort features a sledding hill with sled rentals and various skiing options ranging from easy to challenging, along with classes for young children.
Hot Dog Mountain is back baby!! Grand Geneva’s terrain park is making a serious comeback. The jumps are insane and the rails are ridiculous. They might have the most rails in Southern WI. They’ve been making a ton of snow and creating some fantastic features every week. The black diamond is really a black diamond. I’d love to see some of the features become permanent like the giant jump on “A”. Thanks for all your hard work! Let’s shred the gnar!!!!

First time here. Wanted to ski nearby and have been to the other big 4 in the area. What this hill lacks in size it makes up for in quality. The terrain, grooming, and trails were absolutely top notch! I’ve been skiing for 37 years and can say I’d rather have 26 trails with excellent snow grooming than 59 sub par trails. Was on par with trail maintenance out west. Fantastic job to the staff! I was very happy with the lift ticket price as well, seemed fair. The rest of the lodge was nice but could lower the food and beer prices a bit. 😅All in all a fantastic experience and I had a blast!

We were here for a wedding. Beautiful space, decorated nicely, vibes were vibe-ing. Nice outdoor patio area with twinkle lights, seating, and a fire table. Food was good - to be expected quality from a large wedding meal. Only downside was the bar service. It was very slow, we wish there was one or two more bartenders.

This was a nice ski resort- had plenty of options for people of al ages. Really nice sledding hill, with sled rental. You pay for an 1.5 hour time period to sled so not too busy. Variety of skiing options for easy to challenging. They also had classes for little kids to learn how to ski. Nice log too with lots of food and drink options. They also have ski equipment rental but it was very, very busy. Overall, very nice and conveniently located near the Grand Geneva and Timber Ridge Hotels.

Wife and I spent the weekend at the Grand Geneva and wanted to cross country ski. This was a great place to do it! Bought our trail pass online the morning of, stopped in to get rentals which was a quick and easy process, and we were on our way. Conditions weren't great since the temps were warming up but they had done a nice job grooming the trails. There are some nice hills when you start and then it really levels out around the golf course. We really enjoyed it! Returned the equipment, which was great, at the end of the day, quick and easy. All in it was about $50 for the 2 of us for the day. Well worth it. We will bring the kids next time and do some skiing and snow boarding.

Great place to visit with the kids. There are lots of animals to see and fun playgrounds. Pet some bunnies, feed some goats, take a hayride - there's lots to keep the kids occupied. Staff are incredibly friendly. There are tons of picnic tables in the shade, so it's great to make it a picnic outing. Plenty of free parking. Well worth a visit if you have small children.

Attended field trip here today with my daughters kindergarten class! The staff were friendly & helpful. The animals were treated humanely & well taken care of & clean! Animals to pet ranged from baby goats to adult goats, baby kittens, duck, geese, turkeys, pony rides & horse stables. Great field for pumpkin hunting! Recommend wearing boots & long sleeves & long pants, lots of burrs and muddy trails to hike & search through! Very family friendly and playgrounds & unique homemade trains & handwashing trough stations & the cutest horse swings made from tires!!! This place was great! Pack water & a snack depending on how long you plan to stay, they have picnic tables too!

This place is absolutely amazing for a full day of fun! There are so many activities and chances to interact with a wide variety of animals including horses, ponies, roosters, bunnies, cats, llamas, peacocks, pigs, cows, oxen, and many more. The rides are fantastic and add to the excitement. What’s great is that you can bring your own food and enjoy a picnic while soaking in the lively atmosphere. It’s perfect for families, kids, and anyone who loves animals and outdoor fun. We’ll definitely be coming back. A must-visit spot for the summer!

We went here on a 1st grade school field trip recently, there is a lot to do. Our personal favorite was the kitten house. but there were several play grounds and it was an absolute blast. the animals you can pet are all very friendly, and the others are super curious. My son has been begging to go back and he is normally uninterested in animals. Awesome place to bring kids. Bring a cooler and have a picnic under a tree or at a table. plenty of places to wash your hands. The pony ride and hay ride are just long enough. You can feed and brush some of the farm animals and the kids really enjoyed that. Bring quarters!

Andrea S — Google review
We has so much fun walking around at our own pace and visiting each animal enclosure. Feeding certain animals (bring quarters for the machines) and brushing the donkeys! Some of the animals you can even enter the enclosure to pet and encounter which is so much fun for my children. A favorite among I feel like the whole farm is the kitten barn there's almost always a small line to wait but the staff is patient and understanding, the kittens are of course ADORABLE and given breaks in between families so they aren't over worked. We also went on the tractor ride into the corn field and my children did many of the other activities, plenty to do so don't sell yourself short on time. But do bring allergy medication just incase, lots of bees.
Sara K — Google review
So many activities!!! So many animals!!! We fed animals, we pet animals, we viewed animals. Perfect for a toddler play date or family get together. Reasonably priced. I didn’t see any food available for purchase but plenty of picnic tables for snacks from home. Bathrooms with running water were available and hand sanitizer at feeding stations.

Established in 2007, this museum showcases the rich heritage of the iconic American brand, drawing over 350,000 visitors annually. Spanning 20 acres along the Milwaukee riverfront, it offers a captivating journey through more than a century of motorcycle culture and innovation.
A great museum showing the motors from Harley-Davison model 1, which is made in year 1903; also it shows special motors built for police, WWII armies, US mail, etc. the most exciting part is to ride on the newest models in the museum, also the hottest models. They are so cool. It is great to visit it with the children, they love watching a lot of motors and ride on the motors, they are so happy. The location is great, it is very near the Discovery Museum and Art museum, together can play for a whole day and have the great dinner and lunch next to the museum. The gift shop is also good to visit, there are 30%-60% off items, which is very good quality and reasonable price.

⭐️ A Legendary Ride Through Harley-Davidson History – A Must-Visit Iconic Museum! 🏍️🔥 I had an amazing time visiting the Harley-Davidson Museum in Milwaukee — an absolute dream for anyone who loves motorcycles, history, design, or true American culture. The entire complex is huge, beautifully designed, and perfectly placed right by the river, which adds a really cool vibe as you walk around the grounds. Even before stepping inside, you’re greeted by impressive outdoor sculptures and classic Harley details that immediately set the tone. Once inside, the experience only gets better. The museum showcases motorcycles from every era — from early 1900s originals to modern designs — each one displayed with great storytelling and historical context. You can easily spend hours walking through the exhibits, exploring legendary models, rare prototypes, and beautifully preserved engines. Everything is clean, well-organized, and very accessible. One of the highlights for me was the gift shop. It’s packed with awesome merchandise, collectibles, apparel, patches, and unique items that you won’t find anywhere else. Whether you’re a hardcore rider or just a traveler looking for a cool souvenir, you’ll find something worth taking home. The museum requires a ticket, but honestly, it’s worth every dollar for the quality of the experience. There are great photo spots, indoor and outdoor areas to explore, and even a restaurant on-site if you want to relax afterward. Overall, this place is a perfect stop for travelers, motorcycle fans, photographers, and anyone who loves American heritage. Highly recommended! 🛠️🏍️🇺🇸

A Must-See in Milwaukee! The Harley-Davidson Museum is an absolute must-do when visiting Milwaukee. It beautifully tells the story of how Harley-Davidson began in 1903 in a small shed and grew into one of the most iconic motorcycle brands in the world. The exhibits showcase historic bikes, racing legends, and design milestones in a modern, engaging way. Right next door you’ll find a large shop — mostly apparel — and a great restaurant on the beautifully designed museum grounds. A perfect stop for anyone interested in innovation, craftsmanship, and American heritage.

The Harley-Davidson Museum is more than just a place to see motorcycles—it’s a celebration of history, craftsmanship, and the spirit of the open road. Every exhibit is thoughtfully designed, from the earliest Harley models to the incredible stories of riders who made them legendary. Walking through the museum, you really feel the pride and passion that built not only a brand, but a worldwide community. It’s inspiring to see how Harley has touched so many lives and carried the idea of freedom across generations. Whether you ride or not, this museum is a must-see. It’s an experience that stays with you long after you leave.

An incredible experience for anyone who loves motorcycles design or American culture. The museum tells the story of Harley-Davidson with passion and authenticity from its early models to today’s innovations. Each exhibit is beautifully presented with vintage bikes rare memorabilia and interactive displays that make history come alive. The staff were knowledgeable and welcoming and the shop and café added to the overall charm. A must visit destination in Milwaukee that celebrates freedom creativity and the open road.

I thought this was a very nice museum. It’s filled with lots of iconic bikes that roll off the line. The only thing is I wish they would’ve had some of the customized bikes. I understand that the people customize them by their selves, but they’re usually customized with Harley Davidson parts.
Jody L — Google review
My husband was born on a Harley Davidson and he was like a child visiting the museum. There were so many Harley’s from every year and every period. There was even fun for the young ones (I’m 62) with a makeshift Harley to ride. There was also a special hallway honoring African American riders and African American female riders. I loved the exhibits.

A great place to show their bikes from the very beginning of their production. They served Army, Postal, Medical, Police, Refugees and to take away pets or people. Visit it and know their bikes. I posted some important information as well.

Wonderful museum with a fantastic collection and rotating special exhibits. Absolutely stunning building. Big enough to cover lots of artistic territory, but spacious and curated amazingly well so that you don't feel overwhelmed. Cafe on site. We spent about 4 hours there and saw about 75% of the exhibits. Strongly recommend.

One of the best museums in the country both inside and out and incredible views right on gorgeous Lake Michigan. Plan to have lunch at the awesome cafe overlooking the lake, which includes a patio. Collection is beautifully arranged with an incredible American modern collection, best in Midwest. I got a membership so I can walk over and do laps around the tunnels which overlook the lake and city! Cafe is excellent with perfect espresso, salads, wraps and subs, soups and wine, etc. Supporting the cafe supports the museum! Well done!

My boyfriend and I went to the art museum today to take pictures with his new camera. There were only a few spots we took pictures and were really respectful of those around us but we were followed on the lower level of the museum the whole time. We couldn’t go in a new section without a worker watching us. We were in no way doing anything that caused any disturbance to anyone or anything there…that kinda ruined the experience for us. Other than that the art is gorgeous and I have always loved art since I was a kid.

We come here about once a year. It's not something we normally plan to do, but think about it when we might be downtown for some other activity and find that we have some time. Always enjoy the building itself and the featured exhibits. This time they were showcasing some of the Bradley Collection. Another special exhibit (although much smaller in scale) was the "Reviving the Dance of Death." The docent suggested that we use the magnifier app on our phone to get a closer look — great suggestion! We never try to see everything, and usually have enough after one hour. The lower level parking is a great option if there are spaces available. The MAM is a nice amenity on our beautiful lakefront.

This museum is a dream come true. We traveled from Michigan for Summerfest and knew we had to go to this museum while we were in town! Our first impressions were just marveling at how beautiful it was. Even the underground parking is beautiful! For some reason the wings didn’t open at noon and flap, and we didn’t get to see them open at all this weekend which was such a bummer! The museum is fairly priced at $27, and this place is *huge*. We kept thinking we went through every room and just kept finding more art! We spent almost 3 hours here. The cafe is really nice for a quick bite and beautiful view. Just keep in mind they are cafe prices. I liked the gift shop but I wasn’t blown away. Overall you will see some great things at this museum and you’ll be happy you went!

Beautiful Spot by Lake Michigan The Milwaukee Art Museum is a stunning place for a walk along Lake Michigan. There’s a nice café with great views, and Discovery World plus two lovely parks are just a short walk away along the shoreline. Plenty of parking available — perfect for a relaxing visit.
Manuela ( — Google review
The museum is well appointed on the Lake Michigan shoreline. It already encompasses the threat of a future romantic destination. If you are a fan of Futurama, you will understand. Initially I intended to visit the museum to explore Calatrava's architecture, which I like. Culturally, it seemed essential to understand why it was positioned in Milwaukee, instead of Chicago. If you recall, the Chicago spire (project started but not completed) was a Calatrava design. Many, I believe, felt slighted by comparison. The project manifested versus the project lost. It was a blow for the birth of the skyscraper city. An old narrative now, but relevant, if only comically. I was not surprised for the setting to be naturally beautiful - you can feel the magnitude of Lake Michigan from inside and outside the museum. However, what shocked me was the glass work throughout the galleries. I was not expecting such an impactful collection, enough to inspire to revisit the topic of glass collecting as art in lieu of paintings. The restaurant needs improvement.

American Family Field

Mentioned on 
27 lists 
Stadium
Sights & Landmarks
American Family Field, formerly known as Miller Park, is a modern baseball stadium with a retractable roof and serves as the home field for the Milwaukee Brewers. The stadium offers a variety of delicious food options beyond traditional ballpark snacks, including bacon mac and cheese, roast beef sandwiches, churro doughnuts, tacos, barbecue, arepas and sushi.
One of our favorite ballparks. Tailgating before a game is a must and the locals take their tailgating seriously. Tailgating usually opens 2-3 hours prior to game time. There are bars/restaurants close to the ballpark that offer free shuttles. Traffic in and out of the stadium moves quickly and there’s easy access to major highways. The team store is large and has everything Milwaukee Brewers related. Food and beverages were tasty and more affordable than many other ballparks we have visited. If you sit in the Miller Lite Terrace the high top bar tables have phone chargers and beverage chillers on/in the table. We entered the game early and our kids were able to watch the visiting teams batting practice. They were also given a couple baseballs which the players gladly autographed. Don’t miss the sausage races and if the Brewers hit a home run be sure to watch the outfield for Bernie Brewer on the slide in the outfield. Great family outing.
Gregory W — Google review
Going to a Brewers game at American Family Field is always a fun experience. The energy in the stadium is great!! fans are passionate but also welcoming, so it feels like a true community atmosphere. One of the best parts is the famous Sausage Race, which is such a quirky and unique tradition that makes the game feel extra memorable (and always gets the crowd hyped). The retractable roof is also a big plus, you don’t have to worry about games getting rained out, and it makes the stadium comfortable no matter the weather. Food-wise, you’ll find plenty of classic ballpark eats along with some Wisconsin favorites like cheese curds, brats, and local beers. Prices are definitely on the higher side, but that’s pretty standard at MLB parks. The staff throughout the stadium is friendly and helpful, and the whole place is kept clean and easy to navigate. Parking can get a little crowded, but the tailgating scene is part of the fun!! lots of fans grilling out before the game adds to the whole experience. Overall, the Brewers stadium offers more than just baseball. it’s a mix of tradition, good food, and a welcoming fan base that makes every game feel like a celebration.

This is, without a doubt, one of the best ballparks in baseball and a must-visit, even if your team isn't playing. From the moment you arrive, the atmosphere is electric and uniquely tied to the city. The architects did an incredible job blending modern amenities with a classic, old-school ballpark feel. The sightlines are superior from every section. The concessions here are what set this park apart. They offer typical stadium food, but they've partnered with local restaurants and breweries, offering a fantastic variety. When you couple the food with the wide selection of craft beers, you have a superior concession stand. There are plenty of social spaces, fan zone and childrens experiences to gather at, like the "Kids Zone" on the terrace level and the "Power Playground" on the field concourse.The integration of team history is also superb, with beautiful plaques and statues of team legends inside and outside of the stadium. Don't forget to check out the "Selig Experience" exhibit. It's a must for any Brewers fan. Overall, it's a wonderful experience and a shining example of how a modern ballpark should be built.
Ryan P — Google review
That visit and The Game with Diamondbacks I will remember for so long. That was a thriller. Both team could get a win ticket before last inning 8:8 - but the huge visitors support and perfect organization and atmosphere- were helped for Brewers. I have never seen not only support, but an entertainment on the stadium. Screen plays, the fun run, music accompaniment- it’s a Top level not only for Baseball. Thank you for excitement. See you in Philly 🫶

One of the best ballparks in baseball! The retractable roof ensures that rain or shine the game will go on! For beautiful summer days with the roof open, there's nothing like it. Great food and drink vendors all around the stadium and love the Bernie slide for when the Brewers get a home run! There are usually lots of brand activations inside and outside of the stadium too that give away free swag which is a nice touch.
Bailey J — Google review
We had a great time at American Family Field! We parked in the preferred parking lot to be closer to the stadium. By the way, pre-purchase the parking before the day of the game to get a discount. Our seats were on the top level and we found elevators and escalators to assist us. The fans are incredibly friendly. You must see the sausage run! We’ll be going back for every home game next year!!
Marcos A — Google review
Best time ever! Even though we are Cubs fans, the Brewers fans were nice to us and the whole vibe & stadium was beautiful. Plenty of accessable bathrooms too. Don't plan on rushing out though leaving that parking lot was a cluster of craziness! No one is guiding traffic out so just don't hurry out. We also appreciated the free parking since coming from Chicago we are used to paying an arm and a leg! That was a nice surprise! Can't wait to come back again.
SalsaChik L — Google review
Great ballpark, even the seats up high have a good vantage point and you can see the whole diamond quite clearly. Things in the gift shop and/or any food is ridiculously expensive, but that's any sports franchise stadium for any sport. Nothing out of the ordinary or extravagantly expensive or anything like that. Parking is ok, this was the first time we spent extra for "preferred" parking and I would definitely recommend that to anyone planning on attending a Brewers game. It has (as I'm sure most if not all do also) some very long escalators so you do not need to walk up several flights of stairs to get to your seat if you are way up. Overall I like this stadium a lot and I recommend catching a game if you get the chance to.

Lakefront Brewery

Lakefront Brewery is a popular brewpub in Milwaukee known for its array of beers, including organic and gluten-free options. The brewery offers entertaining tours that are considered one of the best deals in the area, providing visitors with a chance to explore the brewery, enjoy beer tastings, and take home a souvenir pint glass. The year-round brews feature a variety of India pale ales, lagers, and seasonal beers.
Lakefront Brewery is an absolute gem and such a fun experience from start to finish! The tour really showcases the history and heart of the brewery—you get to see the tanks up close and learn about the process, but it never feels boring. The guides keep it lively, funny, and full of personality. The nods to Milwaukee culture (like the Laverne & Shirley) make it feel extra special and unique to the city. The riverside patio is a highlight—it’s such a perfect spot to enjoy a fresh pint while watching the boats drift by. Inside, the atmosphere is just as memorable, with character-filled spaces covered in guest signatures and a cozy vibe that makes every corner feel like it has a story. And of course, the food and beer did not disappoint! The cheese curds were absolutely spot on—crispy, melty, and delicious with the dipping sauce. Pair that with one of their local brews and you’ve got a true taste of Milwaukee. What really sets Lakefront apart, though, is the staff. Everyone we encountered was friendly, welcoming, and clearly passionate about what they do. If you’re in Milwaukee, Lakefront Brewery is a must. Between the history, the river views, the food and drinks, and the incredible staff, it’s the kind of place you’ll want to come back to again and
Jonathan L — Google review
The brewery was great, the atmosphere was amazing and the cheese curds were fantastic. They were super chewy and had a little grease on the outside. The downside is you can’t eat a lot of them at the same time because of the cheese and grease. They don’t offer flights on the weekends but I got the dive beer and it was a nice light beer. You have to pay for the brewery tours and they are only available on the weekends.
Andrew R — Google review
Great atmosphere with plenty of beer options and a decent size menu. The cheese curds were the best I’ve ever had! The only down side is parking. It took us 15 minutes to find street parking. I can’t imagine trying to park during peak times. Overall it was a great experience and highly recommend!

Our company set up a tour here and it was a lot of fun. Our guide George was very entertaining and did a great job. We each got several chips to spend on drinks. My absolute favorite was their Eastside Dark, followed by the Hazy rabbit and Bumble Bear. They have the absolute best cheese curds I have ever tasted.
Barry D — Google review
So many things to love here! Ahead of our tour we enjoyed some incredible fried cheese curds and a giant pretzel -- we loved both of them. Then onto the informative tour with JD who was funny and knowledgeable and did a great job keeping control of the group. The $17 tour price is a bargain since it includes 32oz of beer as well. (Tip: I'm not a beer drinker but I enjoyed their Shandy, a mead, and their highly delicious root beer.)
Heather F — Google review
This is a Milwaukee classic. Food here is super on point. Some of the best cheese curds l've ever had! Huge space with bench seating so you'll likely have someone on the same table but it's not an issue. Can still get pretty packed. Right next to the river. If you're on a boat you can dock, get a beer, and head back out pretty quickly. I recommend doing the tour its worth $7 3 drinks and a awesome lake front beer cup! 100% recommend!

This sprawling historic site & garden re-creates life & work on a late 19th-century farmstead.
Fun historical mini city. I appreciated the brewery and tap room at the entrance. There are trams that take you to the different areas and lots of little hiking trails to be able to wander around. There are historical guides and interpreters that explain about the different farms and buildings. You could easily spend the whole day here. I brought a water bottle but they have a few buildings that sell food and beverages.

Living history at its best! We visited on a beautiful summer day and spent almost the whole day there. So many things to see. We love the Crossroads Village, the farm demos, animals, and the Scandinavian homesteads. My 5 year old loved learning how to make bread and how to wash clothes the “old fashioned” way. The trams taking you to each section is a huge plus! We also enjoyed lunch at the Caldwell Food Hall and ice cream at the creamery. A great way to learn about Wisconsin history!

We went to Old World Wisconsin for their October Homeschool day. It was great! Highly recommend! Lots to see and do. The kids enjoyed all the activities, and feeling like you steped back in time to the 1800s. We saw the Blacksmith shop where the blacksmith was making an S hook and the kids got to learn about the anvil & horn, they enjoyed ice cream at the Creamery, in the Finnish village they made homemade butter, learned how boots were mended, had a yummy drink at the Four Mile House, learned how to make rope, the General Store docent showed us how they grade eggs, learned how they washed laundry back in the 1800's and so many other things. Huge place so remember to bring good walking shoes and water. They do have many shuttles if you choose not to walk. The Creamery building does have some food. PB&J, popcorn, premade salads and some other sandwiches. Great gift shop with lots of books, toys for the kids, candy, Holiday items and clean bathrooms. Just remember to get your tickets in advance. Our Homeschool event did sell out. We can't wait to go back again!

Old world Wisconsin is such an awesome place with so much history so much to see and do and the workers (actors? Performers?)are great at playing their roles very kind and very nice always greeting with a smile and some great historical facts about the houses/buildings that are on location every single one of them such great people ,I've been twice now but plan on returning its so good and there is always something new to find one day isn't enough to see everything the place has to offer ,I believe they just added a tavern and are working on doing something to the main entrance. They sell souvenirs and offer food and drinks ice cream and more they also have tokens you can use on one of the multiple themed shops, the place is fairly big so they have a "tram" service for free that stops on every interest point in the park it gets full fast fyi but it's very convenient, they have some hiking trails too, you could walk the whole place no problem if you want to. Great experience it's a must if you're a history buff or just want to experience a little bit of history heck even just to walk around for a bit this place is awesome 😎👍🏽 highly recommended.

The Milwaukee County Zoo is a sprawling 190-acre attraction that houses over 2,000 animals from more than 350 species. Visitors can enjoy animal exhibits, pony and train rides, a carousel, and entertaining sea lion shows. The zoo also hosts various events such as workshops, holiday celebrations, concerts, and food festivals. Additionally, the Mitchell Park Horticultural Conservatory known as 'the Domes' showcases tropical, arid, and seasonal plant displays in three distinct domes.
Possibly one of the best zoos around the country . Very well maintained spaces and facilities for the animals and guests . The area is surrounded with trees and natural environment making part of the entire experience of being outdoors : one with nature. It is a very big campus with a lot of opportunities for walking and enjoying the outdoors and the animals . Well paced and certainly well maintained. Bought tickets online in advance and arrived later in the afternoon to avoid crowds . Best idea ever . Parking is sprawled and easy in and out access to the zoo.

Very nice zoo with shade and easily walkable. They had all the major animals. The only downside was some of the exhibits. For example, the big cats (e.g., lions, tigers) are all inside. It was cool seeing them so close, but I couldn't help but feel bad for them in such tiny enclosures. Now, it appears they each take turns using the outside exhibits, but it still, it was sad seeing them in these glass cages. I haven't really seen that before. There are a variety of food options and spread across nicely. The elephants had a big exhibit and appeared active. Hippo was also really neat.

Cyroni says nah—it just thought my phone was a banana. And honestly? That’s the kind of energy we bring: so fresh, even elephants want a bite. 📢 No fear. No flinch. Just a legendary moment.

This is a nice escape out of Illinois. In the summer months, it’s a great time to walk around and see different animals and look at different attractions.. The elephant and monkey displays were great for the kids. Signage was clear and most things were easy to find using the map or the signage The zoo is adding more features this year, which is nice to see. One room for improvement is some of the food places were not open on a Friday during summer. Online ticket purchase is easy and saves you time when you park.

Cedar Creek Winery is a renowned, family-owned winery located in a historic woolen mill dating back to 1864. This award-winning establishment offers an impressive variety of wines, from delicate whites to robust reds, including seasonal favorites like Strawberry and Christmas Blush. Situated at the edge of Cedar Creek in Cedarburg, this winery is steeped in history and offers visitors the chance to explore its charming surroundings.
Great place to take a tour and get a flight that matches your taste preference. I like the sweets, because sometimes I'm lacking sweetness. Thank you, Gina, for taking care of me. The wine was excellent, and I loved sitting outside in the cool October air. It's been about 6 years since my last visit here, and hopefully won't be 6 years until my next time.

We used to live nearby and would often bring visitors to this winery for tours and tastings, but I hadn’t been back in years. My taste in wine has definitely evolved over the years, so I wasn’t sure I would still like what’s sold here, but stopped in for nostalgia’s sake. Not only is this just as charming as I remembered, the wine is still delightful. The strawberry wine was of course jammy and fruity, but I didn’t find it overly sweet, just crisp and refreshing, perfect for a hot summer day. The employee was busy, but friendly and very helpful, and I enjoyed wandering around the grounds and admiring the scenery, lovely place.

I recently visited Cedar Creek Winery and had a really nice time and experience tasting their semi-sweet wines (I'm more of semi-sweet or sweet wine type of guy). The wine steward was very friendly and knowledgeable, making the tasting both informative and enjoyable. The winery itself is a great place to relax and unwind, with a beautiful atmosphere. Definitely check it out and be sure to say hi to the friendly folks running the tasting!

I went to a wine tasting at Cedar Creek and enjoyed the selection of wines - even picked up a wine for the holidays. But I have to give this winery one star for the coldness and unfriendliness of the employee who works in the wine shop area. She was rude and completely bothered at the cash register. I was blown away by the attitude. Customer service is very important at a business - I will not be coming back after this negative experience.

Popped in for a tasting today and was pleasantly surprised! I was a little familiar with the brand already having picked up a bottle at Total Wine from them. I really enjoyed my experience. The woman who helped me (so sorry I didn’t get the name!) was so kind and explained everything they had available that day for sampling. I will say most of the wines are on the sweet side but I still enjoyed them despite being a dry red gal myself. The atmosphere is lovely (as is all of Downtown Cedarburg). I would recommend stopping by if you’re in the area

Cool history of the bridge and a beautiful park. It was really cold yesterday, so we didn't explore, but we'll be back to explore the area.
Ken Z — Google review
Well worth the visit! There’s graffiti from 1922 that I saw & I bet there’s older. The toilets are immaculate & there’s free barbecues in the surrounding park area, you just need Charcoal & a lighter.

Appreciated that they attempt to preserve this rare piece of Americana. The enjoyment was ruined by vandalism and graffiti. Wish people would be more respectful.

Absolutely gorgeous park. Great place to visit and see the historical covered bridge.
Tim K — Google review
You can walk through the bridge. It's beautiful. There is a nice park along the river. Great place to take pictures.
Stephanie S — Google review
To some it's "just" a covered bridge. To me, it is history and memories of a simpler time. I routed my trip to stop here and see this. Worth every mile on the road.
Christopher T — Google review
The bridge is easily accessible. You can see the bridge which is right off the road, or park further inside the park and amble back over a foot bridge and step inside the wooden structure. Sadly, there's a lot of personal graffiti but it partially illustrates the age of the building. And while I don't agree with tagging something old, there were many sweet messages from years past. We visited during winter while the river was frozen and could walk under. Cross country skiers passed obviously enjoy that route too.

Wisconsin Automotive Museum

This large building, attached to a performing arts center, holds many cars built from factories here in Wisconsin. Pretty cool. There was a luxurious "Kissel" brand made in Hartford that was owned by many famous people. There are also many recent past models on display here also. In the back is also a working steam train that goes out on tour once or twice a year.
Mike P — Google review
Interesting museum focusing on vehicles manufactured in the area, including Kissel and Nash. The collection includes a variety of other rare vehicles, which are not often seen at car shows or in other museums. Additional exhibits showcase trains, local auto racers, and automotive memorabilia such as gas pumps, tools, and signage. Definitely worth the stop!
Christine H — Google review
What an incredible collection!! They have the largest collection of Kissel cars on public display, a 1-of-1 “Badger” automobile, a 1902 rambler and a 1913 Metz! The docent was very friendly and informative. Highly recommend! 😁
Mark H — Google review
What a cool museum! We were in the area and my wife found this and we decided to go check it out. Top quality vintage vehicles. We were so floored. So many one of a kind cars and about half of them were donated to the museum and many more on loan to the museum. I want to go back again and bring my dad. These are cars he grew up with, some I did as well, and I know he'll really enjoy this. My youngest son is a car guy and he'll be going with us. 3 generations to check out this cool museum. What a great memory will be had. This is a must see when in the area.
Ken Z — Google review
Planes, trains, and automobiles can be found at this fantastic hidden gem! Ok, it's mostly cars and trucks, but they do technically have a little bit of the trains & planes too! The kiddos loved walking through (3 y/o & baby). The old firetrucks were a hit, as was the train (both the model train when you enter as well as the large engine in the back). The volunteers are passionate about the museum as well - they have a lot of good history to share if you're interested. We will be coming back again when they're older!
Garrett G — Google review
What a wonderful little (big) museum! I did not expect all that was in there. Beautiful cars and the history of the Kissler car was very interesting. Worth the stop to come and see.

Great car museum with lots of stuff to see. Definitely worth the drive from Milwaukee when we were in town.
Zach B — Google review
Pretty interesting place even if you aren't a car fan. It is nice and clean but does have that car shop smell. I walked out a bit nauseous but that is not the fault of the museum! I loved that each car had a sign about it and some had cool stories attached! Very neat to see how the auto world has evolved and changed!

Shalom Wildlife Sanctuary LLC

Zoo
Zoos & Aquariums
Gravel roads connect natural displays of over 400 local & exotic animals across 100 acres.
This is a zoo that you can go to and not leave feeling like “oh those poor animals”. The enclosures are huge and you feel like you’re seeing the animals in their natural environment. It’s really reasonably priced and they don’t gouge you for extras. Halfway through the circuit there’s a playground you can get drinks and water is one dollar and soda pop is two dollars. Everybody gets a free ice cream at the end. The entire circuit is about 3 miles so if you’re walking, take your time.
Guy H — Google review
We thought this was an absolutely amazing family friendly place.... Gorgeous, especially in the Fall. Families could easily spend three to four hours here. There is a petting zoo at the end of the trails, as well as a Park area for the kids to play. My husband and I hiked along the trails and it took us 2 hours to see all the animals. For those who cannot walk the trails, you can rent a golf cart. At the end of your visit, as you walk through the visitor center, you can pick up a free cup of ice cream! 🍨
Carter-Lori A — Google review
We took the golf cart option, which was huge benefit for old folks with bad knees. Most animals can be seen from cart path and easy to walk up closer. Well laid out and well marked. It was a cold day so not sure if that had an effect. The best is at the end with the lions tigers and bears. Would wish the predators had more room to roam, they seemed slightly uncomfortable.
John M — Google review
Very nice family friendly Zoo with well kept facilities. Has a great variety of animals to see, and things for everyone to enjoy. We fed goats and played in the music and play areas within the Sanctuary. They also have golf carts, if you wish not to walk through the entire park. Definitely something worth checking out!
Jutengai O — Google review
This is one of the more interesting zoos I've seen. The animals do have a big place to roam, but it's very wooded with tall pines and much shade. The emus look very puzzling in such a background, but the numerous dear fit the bill. Also, the white tiger and her kittens were so cute! I'll probably come again, but the gold carts are a bit annoying.
Julia K — Google review
I absolutely LOVED this place. I had found it online and I decided I wanted to celebrate my 50th birthday with a visit. It's about a 4-5 hour drive to get there for us but I did not regret it! The zoo is a 4 mile area with lots of viewing of several animals. We rented a golf cart since I have some mobility issues and spent 2 hours and I took over 300 pictures. There were even a big set of field trips going on and we had no issues with viewing and having a blast. If you enjoy zoos this is a don't miss for sure. Best birthday EVER!!!
Ginny B — Google review
Such a unique zoo that isn’t flashy and is more geared toward adult audiences. Almost all the enclosures were big, spacious, and natural. Oftentimes several species coexisted in big spaces. We loved that there was reading material not only about the animals, but about the Native history, the plants we walked by, and there were several learning centers about certain topics. Less squished than most zoos and gave more of a sanctuary aesthetic. Will recommend and be back again!
Brianna V — Google review
This was the best zoo experience we've ever had. I recommend the golf cart for your 1st time, just so you can see how long of a wall it would be. My mobility if ok, and I would like to walk it, but not knowing the extent of the walk (terrain, elevation, etc), the golf cart was helpful. We may walk it next time. The animals actually looked content in their enclosures. They weren't "locked up" and "on display" as in other zoos. Don't bother going to the Racine zoo, it is pathetic, but that's a separate review... We highly recommend Shalom as a destination!

Our friends got us tickets for the Sunset Cruise on Saturday. It was amazing! The owners of the place were great and served drinks and snacks in the cafe' before we headed out on the marsh. But, the boat ride was amazing. Our boat captain, (K?)Carl, was a hoot, and knew everything about the marsh and the local history, everything from Glaciers to present day. He pointed out all the cool things we passed, cranes, eagles, herons, muskrats, ducks, so many birds, but the real magic happened right after we drifted under the bald eagle nest, as the sun set, the swallows came out by the hundreds to feed on the bugs in the marsh. It was an absolutely breathtaking sight. If you're thinking of going, DO IT! The place is great, the boats are clean and quiet, and our guide was amazing.
Darren W — Google review
My friends and I drove down and took the boat tour yesterday afternoon, we didn't have reservations but we called on the drive down and they got us on a boat! It was Great! I have never been to the marsh, so did not know what to expect, but it kinda blew me away, our guide on the tour was a retired ranger, and he was fantastic, full if interesting stuff, we saw a pair of Eagles, muskrats, herons, and I had no idea how much the marsh had been changed by people in the last couple hundred years. Again kudos to the captain and the crew at the Blue Heron, great coffee too with a cute shop and cafe'

We came up with family to take the Horicon Marsh Boat Tour, I have to say it was fantastic. Whether you're a serious birdwatcher or just looking for a family outing, this is the place to go, they have a mud boat tour, they rent kayaks, and they have the awesome tour on a HUGE pontoon boat! Getting into the marsh, right up and close to the birds and wildlife was incredible. The true star of the show, however, was the boat guide. My husband and I were lucky enough to have Carl, and he was incredible. He didn't just point out birds; he brought the entire marsh to life. He has an amazing knowledge of the marsh’s history, wildlife, and ecology, and he shares it all with enthusiasm. We saw fawns on the islands, egrets, and some big black duck I can't remember the name of... and of course a ton of birds! He had a great way of tailoring the tour to what our family found most interesting, answering every question with patience and a genuine passion for the environment. (thanks again for helping our dad on the the boat with his walker!!) He was an wealth of history knowledge, and he was funny, I can still here the 'Dam' jokes he told! His way of talking made the entire experience feel less like a tour and more like an adventure with a super knowledgeable friend. The whole operation, from the online reservation process to the friendly staff, made for a perfect, memorable day. (My main piece of advice? definitely book ahead, especially for the migratory season!) And don't forget to grab a bite and a drink at their sup cute cafe!

🛶 Horicon Marsh Boat Tour – Saturday, September 13, 1PM A truly enjoyable experience from start to finish. The waiting area was charming and thoughtfully designed, offering three seating options—an outdoor patio, a shaded porch, and a cozy indoor coffee nook. Clean, welcoming, and clearly infused with the owner’s personal touch. Booking online was simple, and I appreciated the updated schedule and punctual departure—an impressive feat for a small operation. The pontoon-style boat provided a smooth, almost meditative ride, with respectful pauses to honor the wildlife we were learning about. Our guide, Karl, was excellent. His narration blended local history, ecological insights, and commentary on nearby industrial development with clarity and warmth. The sound system was well-adjusted, allowing me to hear him clearly despite wind and shifting boat direction. No mosquitoes, no hassle—just a peaceful, informative afternoon. Highly recommended.

Unfortunately the tour did not match up with our expectations. We went on an afternoon tour yesterday. I thought it would be a guided, narrated tour where we would learn a lot about the marsh, the ecology, the wildlife etc. The guide briefly mentioned a few of the buildings on the way to the marsh, pointed out 2 birds as we entered the marsh and showed us a tree that beavers had chewed on. That was the extent of any narration on the tour. The majority of the ride did not have any tour guide led narration. He did chat during the tour with the people sitting in the back, but as we sat in the front, we were not able to ask questions. I don’t think I would have spent $70 on a silent sightseeing tour if I would have known it was going to be like that. Perhaps consider standardizing the experience across all boat captains.

Troy and Jodell’s Blue Heron Landing Lounge and Café is the perfect place to start a boat tour of the Horicon Marsh. Get there 30 minutes early and meet your boat mates as they enjoy a breakfast or light lunch, pretty much gourmet and made fresh while you wait. Don’t forget to take a Bloody Mary on the tour—or coffee : ) The marsh is absolutely breathtaking. Our tour guide, Marty, was both knowledgeable and comical as he shared the history and secrets of the marsh and its inhabitants. This experience was definitely much more than we expected. We’ll be back in the Spring!

Awesome Sunset Tour at Horicon Marsh Me and my wife took a 2-hour sunset tour on a Saturday evening the 27th of Sept, and man, it was a blast! We almost didn’t get in, but a fluke of luck got us aboard! There were 17 of us on the boat, which felt just right—enough folks to keep it fun. Before the tour we were treated to some great snacks and drinks, then the last call was given and we all heded down to board the boat, A bunch of us brought some drinks from the Blue Heron café and bar, like wine and beer, and I saw a few had bloody marys!, which made the vibe even better. We’re big into birdwatching, and this tour did not disappoint. We saw many kinds of birds—pretty darn cool! Our guide, Carl, was top-notch. Guy’s got a loud, clear voice and knows a ton about the marsh. He dropped some wild facts, like stuff about the Blue Heron’s powder feathers I’d never heard before, and told us all about Horicon Marsh’s history and how they’re working to keep it thriving and restoring it. The best part? We cruised right under an eagle’s nest and later got an up-close look at those awesome birds. Carl handled that big boat like a pro turned it sideways into the amazing sunset, making sure everyone got a good view. He was always pointing out diffent birds and even a deer on an island! and giving us all a chance to check ‘em out, even backed the boat up into a bay so we could see some Sandhill Cranes. It was a chill, gorgeous ride with the sunset lighting up the sky. The boat’s set up for folks with mobility issues, which is great. We’re already stoked to go back next year—totally worth it!

The Horicon National Wildlife Refuge Visitor Center is a great place to start your visit. The visitor center is just one stop along the way to a lifetime of adventures in the Horicon Marsh. The visitor center is located on the south side of the marsh and offers an interactive, educational experience for all ages. The visitor center offers opportunities for visitors to watch and learn about the birds and wildlife that inhabit the marsh and even spot some of the waterfowl that migrate through the marsh each year. Enjoy your visit!

The spa's atmosphere was calm, peaceful and relaxing. The receptionist and massage therapist was attentive, kind and professional. The only regret I have is I didn't have more time to fully enjoy all of the amazing spaces, services and amenities Aspira Spa has to offer. It would be a great place to bring your partner or group of coworkers or friends. I am looking forward to my next visit! :)

My wife and I went there for New Years Weekend 2023. We spent the whole day in the spa with a couples massage (mid-morning) and oil treatments (mid-afternoon). It was the most amazing/flawless weekend. The hot tubs both inside and out where perfect and clean. Don't even get me started on the locker room showers. All the staff was very considerate and polite. Food was was great, from room service to restaurants inside. If you don't enjoy your stay it's on you.
Randall S — Google review
The therapist and the massage itself was good but it was so short. I booked a 50-minute massage but the actual massage time was much less than 50 minutes. Probably less than 40 minutes of actual massage time. Lunch was good but pricey. Also, they automatically put a 20% gratuity on your bill. Gratuity should be based off how much you want to tip your therapist. It shouldn't automatically be added on. Setting/ atmosphere was nice and calming. Salt room was really nice.

I have gone to Aspira several times for several different services. Every time I go my services I receive are wonderful. The massages are relaxing and the facials leave your skin feeling flawless.

I recently worked with the staff at the Aspira Spa to coordinate a spa outing for my sister’s bachelorette party. We had a larger group of 10, and the spa staff was great at helping me coordinate the day for our party. I specifically worked with Heidi, who was super helpful and accommodating. The facilities were nice and clean and we all enjoyed our massage treatments. Would recommend!
Brooke W — Google review
Wonderful 50-minute "custom massage" with Macayla. She was quite good. I've experienced this before but be prepared to have your massage therapist to try to upsell you a $35 massage lotion at the start of the service. I find it tacky to make the therapy staff do this when it could be done at check-in. There were not many people there in the summer, so it was quiet and private. The outdoor whirlpool did not have functioning jets. I don't recommend using the Aspira shampoo and body wash in the showers--low quality and very hard to get the soap residue feeling off after use. I would not recommend a day pass but access to the whirlpools and self-practice yoga area were nice to have included with a service.
Caitlin M — Google review
Giving 2 stars because the facility was nice and relaxing. Very clean, we liked the meditation room, spas and sauna. The jets in the spa were still broken which is surprising because I saw reviews from 5 months ago saying they didn’t work and thought they would have been repaired by now. We did a 50 minute couples massage and probably only got massages for 40 minutes which was disappointing for how expensive it was. Overall, would not recommend and wish we just saved the money.

Lakeside Park

Park
Nature & Parks
Waterfront outdoor area with a quaint lighthouse, carousel & mini train ride, plus boat rentals.
Lakeside park has a fantastic playground and we spent hours there between the zipline, swings, slides, and net climbing tower. Very safe, multiple playgrounds for various ages, lots of swings, and the other families there were kind. No dogs allowed around the playground. There's a nice paved path and walking trail, which we enjoyed.
Ben K — Google review
Great park with beautiful landscaping and paths. There are many events in the park and the playground and splash pad are great for the kids. We love watching sunrises and sunsets over the lake here. It's especially great now that they added the walking bridge to get over to Lakeside West Park. You can walk or run quite a long ways now
Melanie C — Google review
The park has a great mix of playgrounds for all ages, making it easy for families with kids at different stages to all have fun. One of the most impressive updates recently was the addition of an all-access playground, designed so that children who use wheelchairs can fully participate. It’s thoughtful, inclusive, and something every community should have. One of my personal favorites is the zip line—even as an adult, it’s hard not to smile watching kids zoom across with joy (or sneaking in a turn myself). Whether you’re here for the playgrounds, a walk by the lake, or just to enjoy some fresh air, Lakeside Park continues to be a place where memories are made. Can’t recommend it enough.

Came here to explore and stumbled on the Fondy food truck festival. Simply a ton of trucks! Hard to choose but finally decided on a Korean corn dog Besides that this is an excellent park which is a series of small islands connected by bridges. There is a marina and a lighthouse, great view of the lake. Playground and small amusement park for kids. It was extremely busy here due to the festival but this is a great park so I’m sure it’s always busy

I have been to many spas, but Lisa gave me the BEST 80 min massage I’ve ever had. The spa wasn’t busy, making a friends day in celebration of a best friends birthday even better. The salt water pool and a drink was the perfect touch after a great massage and the hot tub with jets was the final touch and couldn’t have been better. I do wish there was a better selection of alcoholic beverages and poolside service but it didn’t make or break the day at all. Thank you Elon Brio!

The EAA Aviation Museum, located in Oshkosh, is a captivating destination for aviation enthusiasts and history buffs. Established by a small group of aviation enthusiasts in the 1950s, the museum has evolved into a remarkable collection featuring over 200 historic airplanes and helicopters, along with more than 20,000 aviation artifacts. Visitors can explore immersive exhibits that showcase the rich history of civilian and military aviation.
It's SO Big! So much to see and learn we didn't even do it all! I will say I had read and been told it was free to get in here, It is not so heads up it's $15 for adults and 3-17 is $12. We really enjoyed the interactive Area and the aircrafts you could get into!

Nice museum that showcases many aspects of aviation! They have a fun area for kids inside as well, I will say the simulators offered need to be maintained better only 2-8 were in working order. Lastly my group could not find a bathroom in the top of the museum once you enter. ( this was a problem for some members of my group)

Wow! You can eat off the floor in this place. This event has a price to pay at the door, but that quickly becomes irrelevant after you start looking around in here. It is the best museum I’ve been to to date. Oshkosh turns upside down during their “Air Show”every year the end of July. I’ll go to that someday. I went outside to see the hangers out back and found some of the plane owner’s vehicles out there. Those were as cool as the airplanes were back there. You see old cars all the time, but I’ve never seen an old delivery truck. That made my day. I could’ve and should’ve flown the Blue and Yellow biplane while I was there because the line was short at the time. Oooops, I’ll get that one done the next time I’m here. I had the best of times here and I’m really glad that I went here. Put this on your must do list. Enjoy…

*** FREE AIRPLANE RIDES FOR KIDS!!! If that doesn't get your attention I don't know what will. On weekends they run a Young Eagles program which kids ages 8-17 are able to get a 10-15 minute plane ride in which they are even given the chance to take the controls. There is no extra cost just the cost of the museum which is extremely reasonable. $37 gets the family in and includes 2 adults and up to five kids. On top of that amazing experience the museum has numerous other kid related things through our it and everything for the aviation enthusiast. From all sorts of planes for early in flight through about the early 70's. Tons of history, exhibits, models, etc. Plan at least 3-4 hours to see and do everything. Weekend we went was not crowded at all. Can't recommend this place high enough.

First, I love airplanes! So this is a great place to explore. Interesting historical review of Experimental aircraft. And aviation history in general. Really need exhibits. Lots of great exhibits for kids to explore aviation.

An absolutely amazing museum for aviation enthusiasts and history enthusiasts alike. So much planes in here and stuff to learn. You could spend an entire day in here. Its also a very nice atmosphere. The restrooms are clean and there are water fountains located with delicious water incase youre thirsty. I came here with my older brother and his wife in july for the 2025 oshkosh airventure which was incredible. I highly recommend visiting this museum while you are in the area, its really worth it. There are also some interactive exhibits such as air pressure and gyro force. Even if you know nothing about aviation it is still a cool place for anyone who wants to learn.

My friend and I spent the day roaming around parts of Wisconsin looking for cute vineyards, and this was by far our absolute favorite! The staff at Vines & Rushes were so friendly and welcoming. I went home with a bottle of course, and loved hearing the history behind the property. If you’re like us, and looking for the perfect cheese and wine spot… THIS IS IT!

Vines and Rushes is truly an outstanding winery and experience! Nicole made our visit extra special and went above and beyond, and I think we’ll always remember it because of her. We even forgot 2 bottles at the shop and she drove down and found us at the bar we were watching the game at to get them to us!! I was tasked with getting wine for my sisters wedding this summer, and specifically chose vines and rushes as it’s considered the best winery in Wisconsin - it did not disappoint. Even my French partner agreed the wine was SO good! We tried a huge selection and all of them were incredibly well made. We got all our wine and even flew a half a case home with us. Great wine, great story, and great people!

Beautiful winery with a great selection of wine- and the food was excellent as well! We sampled 5 wines for $5 and ended up buying 2 bottles to take home. The brick oven pizza was incredible! Very friendly staff- they were helpful and attentive.

We had driven past Vines and Rushes several times and finally had a chance to stop there. We were there on a weekday afternoon so it was not very busy. The facility is very impressive. We enjoyed a wine tasting and then purchased a glass of wine and one of their employees spent about 30 minutes giving us a tour of the winemaking operation. Nicole was very knowledgeable and helpful and obviously enthusiastic about the business. We definitely will be coming back here for some woodfired pizza some evening. They have taken this beyond just a place to stop and buy some wine, it is a destination type of place now! Stop here, you will not be disappointed!
David J — Google review
This was an accidental GEM!! Flew into Milwaukee and driving to Osh Kosh we had the pleasure to pop in for a spot of wine tasting. Friendly staff who gave us great history and explanation of the wines. Discovering we were from out of town, they informed us that they SHIP!! 10 days after leaving we received our box of wine. The location is spacious with outdoor seating and views of the vineyards. And while they only grow 4 type of grapes here, their wines are blended with grapes ONLY grown in Wisconsin. The building is absolutely ginormous. Catering to happy hour, girls night, and date nights. Wood fire pizza oven and bar on one side and plenty of additional seating on the other side. This would be a great location to host a baby or bridal shower, company lunch or family get together. Live music most weeks and you’d better not leave without perusing the store for knick knacks and snacks. If I ever find myself in these parts again, Vines & Rushes is a YES for me.

LOVE the pizza. They were busy when we came, with a lot of orders ahead of us but we got our pizza without too bad a wait given the volume of food orders. All of the people there were very friendly and accommodating. Only thing I would suggest is a way to make the pizza crust firmer, in the middle. Toward the edge it was perfect. Overall flavor was excellent.

This is the perfect little zoo to take your kids when it’s hotter than the blazes and you just can’t do the Milwaukee County zoo. Yes, it’s small, but that’s the beauty of it. Bring quarters for the goat, llama, and donkey feeding and look for the cute little tortoise, crawling around the grounds.We had a great time.

The Paine Art Center & Gardens is a well-preserved historic estate in Oshkosh, Wisconsin, featuring a stunning mansion with European-style architecture and an impressive art collection. The estate also includes 20 meticulously maintained gardens that offer diverse landscapes and seasonal blooms. Visitors can explore the public art galleries showcasing changing exhibitions and attend special events held on the grounds. One of the current exhibits features ndwango, a unique form of bead art created by South African women.
The Nature of Light exhibit is great for families with kids of all ages (mine are teens and adults) and also a romantic date night! If you visit from 9 to 9:45pm there is a brief but entertaining light-dance duo performing. We bought the Ultimate package including the inside mansion portion which is lovely but you get a wonderful experience with the main outdoor tickets. I've attended twice (2023 and 2025) and it's definitely worth a repeat visit. The Paine has rotating exhibits and a magical Nutcracker program at Christmas. It's a gem in Oshkosh for art and entertainment.

We went to the Nature of Light exhibit at the Paine Art Center. It was stunningly beautiful. The exhibit was interactive, so we were able to touch and turn parts of the exhibit. We felt a feeling of wonder, happiness and peace the whole time we were there. This was definitely worth the trip.
Julie O — Google review
I had such a wonderful time at The Nature of Light: Ultimate Experience. From the start, the ticketing process was seamless, and I really appreciated how they had staggered entry times to keep things from feeling crowded. The whole event had a great flow, and the experience felt both relaxing and immersive. One of my favorite touches was the warm drinks provided on a cool night, it was a perfect little comfort amidst the stunning light displays. The sculptures were absolutely breathtaking, and I loved the way they cast such beautiful shadows. It was incredible to see them in both the indoor and outdoor settings, with each one offering a unique perspective. There were so many magical moments, especially as the rain added to the atmosphere. The trees and sky sparkled with glittering lights, and the whole environment felt even more enchanting. Every corner had a little surprise, and it was easy to lose track of time while taking in all the beauty. I truly enjoyed every moment of this experience, and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for something special to enjoy with friends or family. A must-see event that combines art, nature, and light in the most magical way!

The Nature of Light exhibit was quite remarkable, in terms of creativity and variety. It began in the main floor of the mansion, then about ninety percent of the exhibit was outside. Strobes through trees, geographic sculptures, manicured gardens. A short performance dance set. Lots of opportunity to sit and take this all in. Highly recommend

What a pleasure to tour the Paine Art 🖼️ Center and Gardens with lots of other moms and families on this gorgeous day! ☀️ I have always loved the Paine and today was extra fabulous with free admission! We enjoyed the gardens and touring the mansion. Love to hear that they’ve partnered with some UWO classes, giving those students a chance to learn history of the Paine family, their home and some history of Oshkosh industry as well. I commend the Paine for extending free admission to all on Mother’s Day. Truly a gift 💝 to the community. 🌷🌼🌸🌺🪻💐

Hearthstone Historic House Museum

Historical place museum
Sights & Landmarks
The Hearthstone Historic House Museum, formerly known as the Henry J. Rogers House, is a remarkable 19th-century residence in Appleton, Wisconsin. It was the first house in the world to be powered by a centrally located hydroelectric station using the Edison system. Today, it has been transformed into a museum that offers guided tours and exhibits showcasing its historical significance.
First visit. Such a great experience! We took the traditional tour around the museum during the Holidays, the house is decorated so beautifully with Christmas ornaments. Truly beautiful no matter where one looks. Our guide Lori was wonderful, she is very knowledgeable and threw in fun facts during the tour. Each room has its own charm and the history of the house is very interesting. The staff is also very friendly, we had a great time from beginning to end!
Denisse L — Google review
Our family had a truly wonderful experience at the Hearthstone Historic House Museum. From the moment we arrived, we were impressed by the beautifully preserved architecture and the rich history inside the home. What really made the visit exceptional, though, was our tour guide, George. George was absolutely phenomenal—knowledgeable, engaging, and incredibly patient with our four boys, who had a lot of questions. He answered every one of them with kindness and enthusiasm, turning the tour into a memorable learning experience for all of us. His passion for the history of the home and the people who lived there really brought everything to life. We were very impressed with the museum itself—each room is carefully curated and full of fascinating artifacts. If you’re in the area, we highly recommend a visit. It’s a gem of a museum, and if you’re lucky enough to have George as your guide, you’re in for a real treat.

We did the tour of this house today....and are so happy we decided to stop by. Our tour guide was very friendly, and she knew so much about this place. This house is incredibly beautiful, and you can tell that a LOT of love and care went into building and restoring this beautiful example of high end late 1800s homes. The story behind this house is worth the tour alone, and getting to actually walk through it was a real treat. If you find yourself in Appleton, and have a couple of hours to kill, we definitely recommend stopping by and taking the tour....it is totally worth it.

We were recommended to visit from our friend and realtor Marissa Miller. We purchased our tickets online about an hour prior to our start time. George welcomed us immediately and was so friendly! Our tour guide Juli was phenomenal! She was just as welcoming and kind as George and did a great job! So much history to learn not only about the house but also Appleton as a whole. Highly recommend stopping in if you can!

For fans of true crime and history who crave something unique this is, without question, the best interactive tour available. If you want a tour that respects the subject matter while delivering a truly unforgettable, top-tier event, you must go to the serial killer tour times. The entire experience is thrilling. Easily one of the best experiences of our lives so far!! I loved it and he loved it!! You all did so good 🥰🥰🥰🥰 our young detective was eccentric in all the right ways perfectly fit for his role! As well as everyone else but I don’t wanna spoil it for you!

What an amazing place. The tour states that it's about an hour, but you could tell how in love the house and the history our house was, and th tour was about an hour and 45 mins. Every detail of the house is preserved and it's fascinating that through varied ownership how much remained original. Even though the items displayed aren't specifically original to the house it's all time period correct, and donated from locals to showcase their respect for the house. Room to room there is so much to see in every corner. Our guide knew every knook of the house, gave time for photos, and really wanted to ensure each member on the tour had time to appreciate the environment around them. Entry was around 12$s per person and I saw comments saying it was pricey in some reviews. You can't eat at Burger King for that price, or see a film. This is well worth the money but knowing it preserves such a beautiful landmark is more than enough for the asking admission.

Absolutely stunning interior. Can't get over how beautiful it was. Perfect location. There's plenty to do within walking distance if you don't want to wait for the parking ramp traffic to subside. Only complaint is there was nowhere to purchase a bottle of water during a graduation ceremony. You'd think they'd make a lot of money if they sold water bottles, soda and simple concession items.
Brittaney M — Google review
We came to watch Beauty & the Beast. While the musical was amazing. I was very disappointed in the fact that we didn't have much time to use the bathroom and there were lines and then come to find out, if we didn't get to our seats before they closed the doors we would have to wait until they deemed it was ok to let us back in. I understand that is for the other patrons but for the price you charge, I would expect a bit more courteous behavior towards the customers. The prices for water, wine and snacks are OUTRAGEOUS. Make sure you eat beforehand.

First time at this venue, & the Killer Queen Experience was an incredibly amazing show! Only negative was the endlessly long rows of seating (we were directly in the middle, front row, 1st balcony section). It was a long way to inch through the multitude of people seated to get to our spots. Once there, we didn't dare try to get out, so we were stuck for the duration, unable to leave for a drink or bathroom break. Very clastrophobic feeling. Never again, would I purchase tickets in similar seats. A break in the middle area for access out would make show-goers much safer & more comfortable.

Arenas & Stadiums
Neuroscience Group Field at Fox Cities Stadium is a superb 5,500-seat baseball arena that serves as the home ground for Wisconsin Timber Rattlers minor league team. Beyond its primary purpose, this field has the potential to be utilized for various other events. Despite soaring temperatures reaching nearly 90 degrees, finding a shaded area under the main stand was hassle-free. The stadium's cleanliness is highly commendable; even the restrooms are immaculate.
Great place to bring your family. They have birthday kids that throw out the first ball. Silly games during intermission and flying objects into the stands from t-shirts to tires, to even bratwurst. At night they have fireworks. Very nice team store and reasonable prices except for this little bitty 1 x 2 1/2 packet of sunscreen if you forgot yours. That was $3.00 and it wouldn't cover my granddaughters one leg much less two, so don't forget the sunscreen.

It was a very fun experience. It was my first Minor league game. The TimberRattlers won, so we all went home happy. The stadium is nice and clean, the staff is very friendly I guessed the attendance correctly when they asked on the screen. We had a very good time. 10/10 would recommend going.

I would definitely recomend this venue to anyone, and I will do this again my group.

River side camping was fun. If you want quiet time I would recommend camping away from river side. Set up earlier if you have a big rig on the riverside. It seems to fill up quickly with lots of groups. Campground seems very nice overall. My wife and I enjoyed our stay. It’s clean. The washrooms are clean there dump was a little more level. A fun place to go stay for the weekend with lots of people.

We had an amazing time at Wolf River Trips and Campground! From start to finish, the entire experience was smooth and enjoyable. The check-in process was incredibly easy and well-organized, which made settling in stress-free. The staff were all friendly, helpful, and clearly take pride in what they do—they made us feel welcome right away. One of the biggest highlights was how clean the bathrooms were. You can tell they stay on top of maintenance and cleanliness, which is a huge plus when camping. It’s rare to find campground facilities that are this well taken care of. The food was another unexpected bonus! Whether you’re grabbing a quick bite or enjoying something more hearty, everything we had was tasty and well-prepared. It really added to the overall convenience and enjoyment of the trip. We’ll definitely be back. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a fun, easy, and clean outdoor getaway with great people and good food!

Our family had a great time at Wolf River Trips & Campground! The staff made us feel welcome and went out of their way to make sure we had everything we needed. The check-in process was smooth, and we were impressed right away by how clean and well-kept the grounds were. Our campsite was easy to access, and came with a picnic table and fire ring—perfect for evenings around the campfire. The bathrooms and showers were spotless (a huge plus compared to many other campgrounds we’ve visited), and the laundry area was a nice convenience. The highlight for us was definitely the river tubing trip. The staff handled all the shuttles and made it so easy, and floating down the Little Wolf River was peaceful, fun, and safe for the whole family. They also have a centrally located playground, volleyball court, basketball hoops, a bags and ladder toss area as well as horseshoes. After a day on the river, we had dinner at the Upper Deck Bar & Grill. The food was great and reasonably priced. The staff were friendly and attentive. We met several seasonal campers there who all had very good things to say about the new owners. We went during the week which was nice since it wasn't crowded and there was very little wait time for food orders, shuttle rides and the tubing was leisurely and pleasant. We’re already planning our next trip back and would highly recommend Wolf River Trips & Campground.

Great time and even better to do with friends! I only did the river trip and enjoyed a short trip with a group of 5. Very affordable and fun to have a tube for your cooler as well! It is difficult when the water level is low, so make sure to have a sturdy pair of flip flops to kick off rocks
