Things to do in Wisconsin, United States: The Best Educational sites

September 14, 2021 Fernanda Pittenger

When you think “adventure travel” you probably think of far-flung places like Belize and Alaska—not Wisconsin. But if you’re an outdoor adventurer, you’ll find plenty of places to explore in Wisconsin. A vacation in Wisconsin can put you close to the Kettle Moraine State Forest, which has excellent biking trails. Or choose Wisconsin’s Apostle Islands—kayakers will love exploring Lake Superior’s many caves and shipwrecks.

Packers fans don’t wear those cheese-wedge hats for nothing! Foodies will love tasting as many of Wisconsin’s artisanal cheeses as possible. Either drive from cheesemaker to cheesemaker, or choose a Wisconsin vacation in a town with a good farmers’ market—then the cheesemakers bring their wares to you. And what goes better with artisanal cheese than craft beer? In Milwaukee, visit the Lakefront and Sprecher Breweries for tours and tastings.

Wisconsin Dells is a classic family vacation destination. A vacation in Wisconsin Dells will put you close to all the excitement—you’ll have to tear the kids away from the theme parks, wave pools and water parks in Wisconsin Dells!

Lake Geneva boasts clean beaches, golf, and a small-town feel that definitely appeals to city dwellers—it’s a popular getaway for residents of Chicago.

Horicon Marsh Explorium

The Horicon Marsh Explorium is an interactive theater that highlights the story of the Horicon Marsh and the wildlife that call it home. Climb on the life-size mammoth or take a ride on the airboat simulator, there is something to do for all age groups. When you are done, feel free to hike the world famous Horicon Marsh on one of our many trails.

Reviewed By N15TFandym - Burnett, United States

For anyone wanting to know about the marsh or the history of wild life in the area, this is it. Lots of interesting displays, friendly available service, interesting promotions (like their recent candlelight marsh hike) and nicely groomed walking trails. The place comes to life in the spring and summer, but it's also an interesting place to stop in the off season.
