Things to do in Wisconsin, United States: The Best Shopping
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.

The Chudnow is a must see in Milwaukee particularly if you enjoy history. Each room of these beautiful old house is a replica of a place in the past from Soda Fountain to Speakeasy. The Chudnow’s collection of memorabilia is impressive. It was fun wandering from room to room and taking a step back in time.

The largest producer-only farmers' market in the U.S. Each Saturday from mid-April through the first week of November on the Capitol Square, in Madison, WI.
Reviewed By wijram - St. George, United States
The Madison Farmer's Market held on the Capitol Square each Saturday morning from mid-April through the first week in November, is the largest producer-only farmers' market in the U.S. For most visitors it is probably more about noshing some pastries, gawking at some of the crowd and just plain socializing with others in an absolutely beautiful setting, than it is about buying veggies for the week. Returning to Madison for an all-to-brief visit, there was no way that we could miss this signature event. We prefer to start early, ridiculously early, shortly after the 6:15 opening of the market. The market is open until 1:45, but most of that time the crowds are so huge that we shy away. In addition to farmers sharing their produce, crafts people sell their wares and local music groups perform for the crowds. There are also numerous people dedicated to various political or social causes handing out literature and being engaged by members of the public who agree or disagree with the view points being presented. In other words, the market is democracy in action. The event is free and open to everyone. There is NO need what-so-ever to pay for a tour of this event. This is a MUST DO introduction to the wonderful city in which it is held! We Recommend it MOST HIGHLY.

Had a few hours to kill after checking into our hotel. Front desk suggested the historic Third Ward. We made our way to the Public Market and were not disapointed. So many wonderful food choices including cheeses, sausage, a wine bar with wine shop, baked goods and fresh seafood. I was not hungry when I entered but that changed quickly. We grabbed dinner at the seafood restaurant, the food and service was great! Would definitely visit again.
