What to do and see in Wisconsin, United States: The Best Traveler Resources

March 25, 2022 Vergie Nakamoto

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.

We drove past this place and it looked so inviting we turned around and went back. Really glad we did. The visitors center has a great gift shop and some very impressive displays of the wildlife and the history of the area. The third floor is a really really good observation deck with some history displays. The center is free to visit. The y also have a set of hiking trails out through the wetlands surrounding the center that would be wonderful to go on when the weather is decent. This is well worth the detour to spend an hour or two on your way through the area.

We were in the Kickapoo Valley area in the end of June when it was wicked hot. We stopped in here to just get a little idea of the are and were pleasantly surprised at how nice this place is. They had a little Gift shop, viewing area classroom space and a really well done display area with information about the history of the Reserve. If you are in the area definitely come see this place especially if you have kids that you want to have learn a bit about the area.
