If you have kids or not , the Farm is a must stop for fun for all ! Baby goats,& baby lambs are all over the area as you walk out of the milk barn with your baby bottle of milk ! Tip , get there before 1030 am as they usually cut off the milk bottle feeding before noon !!! Don't bother with the bags of corn because you will be surrounded by baby goats for that bottle of milk in your hand when you walk out of the milk barn !!! Tip: If you are a couple go into the entrance a couple minutes apart ! Reason being they ration the coupons one per group for the milk ! No coupon no milk, in the milk barn! These baby goats will drink that bottle of milk so fast it will amaze you and the kids ! They have all sorts of other attractions like incubator with hatching chicks, adult goats and sheep, hen house ,and a Brahma bull all behind enclosed areas for each ! Make sure your phone is charged & camera ready to go ! Have fun , I know your kids will !

Voted Door County's "Best Art Gallery" every year for the past decade. Open 10-5 daily, May through October.

Really enjoyed our visit(s) to Edgewood Orchard Galleries in Door County, South of Fish Creek. They really expanded their sculpture gardens and my favorite is still always the inside buildings where they added a balcony to a new gallery. So bright and such wonderful art of all types. Great jewelry! Got some treasures each visit as we had to come back the next day. This is really the “art museum” of Door County, where just looking is okay. And everyone is so friendly and helpful. Will come back next year for sure as it’s the highlight of our Door County traditions.

This is a must stop every time we venture to Door County. There are good reasons that the finest restaurants in DC feature beef, pork, chicken and eggs from Waseda Farms. The farm store is quite like a candy store for grown ups with their fine Waseda products, fresh vegetables and local wines. Our pooch is hooked on their homemade "doggie crack". Everyone that we have dealt with at the farm and market are truly "all in" with organic farming. The store manager, Sayard Geeve is truly a gem and a wealth of knowledge. Tours of the farm are by appointment and definitely recommended for families with children.

Great history given by docent and good protocol steps for covid. Limited amount of people for tour, I believe 8. Masks required. The lighthouse is as it was at the time it was operating and you get a wonderful glimpse at how the family would have lived in that time period. Docent gave good personal stories of the family. The outside views are amazing, also and the lighthouse is iconic and picturesque. Worth the state park pass and admission price of $5.
8. Dairy View
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 70 reviews
Schopf's Hilltop Dairy is a Door County family fun stop that's both educational and entertaining. You are invited to learn all about the Wisconsin dairy industry at Door County's largest dairy farm by experiencing it first-hand. Take everyone on a free, working dairy tour. Watch the ongoing milking operations, milk "Cookie" the cow and then taste the end result - 30 flavors of homemade ice cream in the Dairy View Country Store Ice Cream Parlor. Enjoy the Dairy View Corn Maze each year, usually open from late summer through the end of October! Each year a new corn maze is designed around a theme. You can expect to be in the maze for approximately 2 hours of engaging fun. There is a small admission fee for the corn maze.

This is a great stop that is conveniently located just off of 42. The highlight is either the corn maze (opens August 1st each year) or watching the cows being milked. There is a viewing area behind glass that offers a unique view of the dairy in operation. You can get a close up view of the cows being milked. There is no fee for the self guided tour or watching the cows. Ice cream was reasonably priced. There are even a few goats that can be fed for a $1 for a small bag of feed. As other reviews have also noted, there is only one unisex bathroom so lines can potentially be long. Besides the bathroom situation this is a great stop that kids and most adults would enjoy.

10. Cana Island Lighthouse

Explore Door County’s most iconic lighthouse, which in 2019 celebrated 150 years of standing watch on the shore of Lake Michigan. Ride a hay-wagon over the causeway to explore the island, including the 89-foot-tall light tower, oil storage house and lighthouse keeper’s home. The highlight of any Cana Island visit is climbing the 97 steps of the tower’s spiral staircase to reach the gallery deck, which delivers a sweeping panoramic view of Lake Michigan and the Door County peninsula.

Must see! Cool tractor ride across the shallow water to get to island where you can explore the grounds. Reading about the history was very interesting. We were not allowed up the lighthouse due to covid rules but still got to see a lot. Pit toilets available on the island. We spent about 30-45 min all total on the island
