We loved the boardwalk trail—very different from the hiking trails at other parks. The beach was very narrow but we were able to access it and find space easily.

If you want to enjoy visceral play, this is your destination! It's fantasy, it's practical, and it's beautifully executed. This is a great way to get out of videos, television, and iPads; get your kids back into their bodies with wonder and enchantment! The building integrates an actual boat from one end of the 3rd floor through the opposite wall. Everything in between is the same boat! There's a honey farm, a full-blown circus car, and oodles more to explore. I stopped into this museum because the facade was so interesting. I enjoyed this as an adult; every teacher can find inspiration in the effective use of color, space, theme, and design. As a small institution, it truly delivers on its mission!

Overall Ratings

The flagpole and memorial can be visited at any time. Flag Facts: 70- by 140-foot flag is the world's largest free-flying American flag. Tallest flagpole in North America--nearly 100 feet taller than the Statue of Liberty. 400-foot flagpole weighs approximately 420,000 pounds. Over 500 gallons of paint cover the pole. 11-foot diameter at base tapers to 5 1/2-foot diameter at top. Three pendulum-style tuned mass dampers reduce movement and vibration. Designed to withstand a low temperature of -42 degrees Fahrenheit. The 9,800-square-foot flag, which weighs 340 pounds, is more than four times the size of the average U.S. home. Each star is nearly 3 feet across and each stripe is over 5 feet high. Acuity is proud to dedicate the Veterans memorial at the base to all who assure our freedom and to those that continue to serve. We owe our gratitude and thanks for their service and sacrifice. There are more than 750 inscribed pavers at the base of the pole that list the names of every Sheboygan County Veteran killed in the line of duty. A full list of names along with a map with the location of each can be found in a free handout at the base of the flagpole. The flag may be taken down temporarily during times of maintenance (please check our website) or severe weather. The flag will be lowered to half staff during official observances.

Every time I drive by this proud and beautifu flag flying in front of the Acuity Insurance building, I get a sense of pride and love for our country. When it is unfurling in the breeze, this huge flag is a sight to see and can be seen for a long distance. Take notice anytime you are driving down I-43 in Sheboygan. You can't miss it and will drive away with a sense of pride.

My husband, daughter and I headed out of town for a little day trip. I had seen the Lottie Cooper here and we wanted to check it out. It is easy to access, even for individuals who have trouble walking. Walking through it is like walking through history! There is information plaques throughout and they are a fun read. This is a cool spot to bring kids to introduce them to a touchable piece of Wisconsin history.

Husband and I were able to take a last minute extended weekend get away and this is where we chose. We had great service from the time we arrived until we left. We chose to pay for breakfast to be included in our stay and were not disappointed in the Beacon Restaurant's breakfast. The views are incredible and it makes you feel like you are on the ocean, in Wisconsin. We were able to walk along the water, enjoy the waterpark lazy river and hot tub. We also went mini-Golfing. Noise level for our room was great. Only heard 1 kid running down the hall all weekend. Our room was clean and well taken care of. For me, the bed was a bit hard and that did effect my sleep, but everyone is different and prefers different types of beds.

As a person who loves history of any kind, from ancient Greece and Rome to Civil War to Old West to World War II, the thought of exploring an Indian burial mound that was built 1,500 years ago is too good to resist. Located at 5000 South 9th Street in Sheboygan, Wisconsin, at the corner of Midwood and Ridgewood Avenues, Sheboygan Indian Mound Park features 18 Indian burial mounds distributed over 15 acres of ancient woodland and winding stream. The Kletzien Mound Group, located within the park, was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1981. These prehistoric builders, ancestors of the Wisconsin Woodland Indians or Hopewell Indians, are called the Effigy Mound People because of their mysterious custom of burying their dead beneath mounds shaped like animals, reptiles and birds. Note particularly the five deer and two panther mounds. Also Mound 19, which displays an exposed burial with artifacts. These mounds were saved from destruction by the Sheboygan Area Garden Clubs, restored and opened to the public in 1966.
