The park also features clean and well-maintained facilities including several bathrooms and an on-site gift shop.
Great place to enjoy in our UP! This is a state park & free with a pastor a small parking fee. It's an amazing spring fed lake that stays 45 degrees. We'll worth driving for such a unique adventure!

A truly unique experience. And also quite extraordinary. The water is deep ( up to 45 feet) and incredibly crystal clear. A rather eerie green tint makes the viewing even more mesmerizing.
Patrons board a large raft that is attached to ropes to guide it across the spring. The center of the raft has a large opening to look straight down into the water. Huge fish swim by and the water is visible gushing right out of the floor of the spring, some 40 feet down ( at a rate of 10,000 gallons per minute!). There's nothing else like it in Michigan's u.p. This is the source of the water for Indian Lake, which is one of the larger lakes in the upper.

Just amazing, go later in the day and you won't have to wait to get on the boat lol they have a gift shop but closes at 5. Dogs allowed, but be warned a dog did recently bolt from the owner on 8/27 and have not gotten the dog back. They live in Indiana...and actually some cool people from Gladstone are trying to help get the dog back! And yes the dog is still alive, they have a trail cam and food and have seen the pup. Visitors have as well.
All in all a great spot, beautiful waters! Short, quick, but memorable spot!

BEAUTIFUL 😍😍. Worth a visit to see perfectly clear water and enjoy a very unique experience. We really enjoyed our quick stop over!
Pictures don't do this justice but you can see to the bottom of the lake and watch the water push through!

Very nice gift shop on sight, several bathrooms available. Clean and well kept park. Only a short walk from parking lot to the raft area. Raft holds up to 40 people. Get there early, less waiting.
Tammy — Google review
Great State Park to visit. Beautiful, calm, small, lovely park, pet friendly, with very clear spring water. And very short walk to Spring water. Very quick raft ride but absolutely worth it. Highly recommended small state park to visit if you find yourself in Upper Peninsula.
Mark Sithu Hein — Google review
My adult daughter and myself visited during our "Girl's Trip 2023" June 3. And it was absolutely breathtaking, I have lived in Michigan all my life, visited the Upper Peninsula for 40+ years and am amazed and ashamed I have never visited. The bathrooms were clean. The gift shop was nice. Although the springs are the best.
pam price — Google review
Very pretty state park. If you visit here, you’ve got to check out the incredible spring here. You can ride a raft across the spring and look deep into the 45’ depth. There are some BIG fish in here that are retired and like to swim around the fresh water that is blasting up into the bottom of the spring. The water is crystal clear and the views are awesome!
Aaron Miller — Google review
Beautiful crystal clear water. Natural springs rubble up through the bottom of the pond maintaining a temperature of 42° year-round.
Frank Post — Google review
Our road trip through the Upper Peninsula took us to see Kitch-iti-kipi. It's a gorgeous, serene natural spring. We had a short wait to take a raft across the water. The park rangers are quite knowledgeable. The park has maintained its rustic feel but could use a few upgrades.
Beccy K — Google review
Super pretty water! The boat on the spring is run by the people who board so you can help move the boat across the water! It's also handicap friendly since the parking lot is not far from the spring.
Peyton Nosbusch — Google review
Another Gem of the U.P. that a Recreational Passport will get you into. The experience was definitely unique and we were glad we stopped. It's a place you can definitely take when you are planning a budget friendly vacation with kids there was a picnic area,a small gift shop and modern bathrooms not outhouses. Park rangers are there to answer and and all questions about the Big Spring Lakes History...
C. Hiller — Google review
Gorgeous but always SO BUSY now. Used to go and be the only ones there and now I've had it take a 2 hours wait to get on the platform. One of the most gorgeous places ever truly. Pictures don't do it justice. Have to pay the state park fee - $11 for a day pass for non residents.

Well kept, raft provides fantastic views of the spring. Large gift shop. Many picnic tables. Amble parking, large spaces.
Alexis Caron — Google review
A true gem, another amazing Michigan state park. We visited shortly after opening for the day (8 am). There was plenty of parking. The trails were well maintained, and Kitchitikipi was more than we expected. Foul wildlife was plentiful!
Liana Maxon — Google review
Every time I visited I was amazed at the wonder of the place. Taking the raft out over spring and seeing around 50 feet to the bottom in the crystal clear water is a must if you visit. Wait, depending on the time of day may be long. We have always visited early in the morning when the crowds are light. The spring is full of giant trout from the local hatchery, and you can see the water moving the sediment on the bottom as it pours in. Besides the spring there is also a nice little gift shop to buy those souvenirs. An absolute must see!!
B H — Google review
We were thrilled to see these Springs! Since the day was a little wet, it was not too busy. We met some other nice people and a couple with well behaved dogs! The restrooms were clean. Be sure to visit this beautiful area!
Rita Romine — Google review
Definitely must stop! Very cool and very unique something you will not find many other places. Recommend early in the day where there is no wait.
Ryan Zimmerman — Google review
Our family enjoyed our first trip to Palms Book State Park. We were making a Michigan bucket list stop to visit Kitch-iti-kipi. We thoroughly enjoyed the trip across the spring via the raft and the kids had fun taking their turns at "powering" the raft. The park store was also a hit allowing us to pick up some mementos from our visit.
Patrick Brannan — Google review
This was a cool stop. Crystal clear water allowed for viewing of the natural spring, as well as the trout that inhabit the pool. The floating dock was neat and got us right to where the fish were congregated.
Kitch-iti-kipi, also known as The Big Spring, is a picturesque natural spring located in Palms Book State Park in Manistique. Its clear turquoise water and unique features such as ancient tree trunks and lime-encrusted branches make it a breathtaking sight to behold.
This place is pet friendly, which is an extra star from us! Dogs are not allowed inside the gift shop, as to be expected, but they are allowed in the park, and even on the raft! This place is amazing, now matter what time of the year you decide to visit. You get on a raft and someone turns a wheel and you go right out over the springs! The center of the raft you can look down and see through the super clear water, and you can see the springs bubbling at the bottom! It's a beautiful place to visit!
Jessica ?SnowDogs? Hatch — Google review
Beautiful, very beautiful! Definitely worth the stop and the park pass fee! It's a quick stop too if it's not busy. If busy you will have to wait in line for the raft ride. The ride itself isn't very long and there's not really any walking trails so like I said, a quick stop. The gift shop is a bit crammed with stuff so too many people and it's hard to navigate through. They have ice cream and other snacks, decently priced.
J. H. — Google review
This place is AMAZING! A must see in person experience. We showed up in the evening and the boat was not operating. It was really cool watching the fog above the water and enjoy it without a lot of people around.
The next day we stood in line with everyone else to enjoy the full experience. Through the looking area you can see the water from an underwater spring gushing out of holes. You can also view the fish swimming around.
You MUST have a State Park pass or sticker. No fee to go on the boat. The souvenir shop has ice cream for the wait. There are bathrooms during hours.
Jen Miller — Google review
We had an awesome time. Being able to see the springs in the bottom of the water was really nice! We went off season and you have to release the lever and take the boat in the middle and see some huge fish. The water was so blue and turquoise. Very nice experience and it wasn’t that far of a walk!
Jennifer Johnson — Google review
This is amazing palace and one of the must visit place in upper peninsula. You can see clear spring in the 45 feet bottom. It is natural fresh water lake in Michigan. It is one of the recommended place to visit.
pasam likitha — Google review
It was a hot day and the shade was appreciated. Been wanting to see this since I heard of it. Beautiful. Didn't disappoint. Short ride across and back. On the way back,the people who took the center view, should have moved to the outside and let others move in. Gotta have a park pass or it costs $17.00 to get in.
They allow well behaved dogs like ours!
Brigene — Google review
This was amazing!!! One of the most beautiful places in the upper Midwest! Highly recommend. Beautiful, well maintained park. Friendly staff. A must do in the U.P. Need to buy a state park sticker for the vehicle, but a day pass is good for any state park all day. Could also buy a year pass.

An amazing , gorgeous place, never miss this location when you are near by. Fee for the entrance is $11 cash for out of state or else no fee if you have pass for Michigan state parks. Ample car parking, a very clean restrooms , souvenir shop , gravel parking lots. Nice shades on the small trail(to reach the raft ride). One raft trip takes about ~15 min and around 40 people per ride. So you can calculate yourself that how long you will be on queue. One of best water springs to have a visit. It is open all year and heard the best season to visit this place is winter .water color mesmerize you. Try to visit on sunny day to get a great color of the water captured in photos. Staff are informative , helpful. From parking to spring is about 150 steps. Very conveniently located and worth the trip to this amazingly maintained place. There is no food option at the location and you are welcome to bring your own and have a little picnic in the shaded area.
Prabha Shankar — Google review
Interesting place, definitely worth visiting if you are in the area. We visited Memorial weekend and the place was super busy, returned late afternoon, still a lot of people. Expect LOTS of bugs and mosquitos late spring. No extra fee, just the state park ticket.
Milo A — Google review
This was one of the highlights of my camping trip this year in the upper peninsula. The attraction was a little crowded for my liking especially with covid but people seemed to keep as much personal space as possible. Looking in the middle and pictures in the middle seen to turn out better than over the sides of the raft. This is definitely a beautiful place to stop with amazing scenery and expansive history to tell.
chase hampton — Google review
Nice place to visit. The lake is crystal clear. The bubbling springs at the bottom of the lake are visible. Quite interesting but short boat ride. You will probably have to wait your turn to take the ride. The boat is driven by passengers so you can also take turns driving it. The shop there has a good collection of souvenirs. I also liked their ice creams.
Indraneel Mondal — Google review
Gorgeous place to visit! The spring is absolutely breathtaking, and watching it bubble from the raft is mesmerizing. It says there’s a fee to go, but this is due to it being in Palms Book State Park, which you can purchase the MI Passport (for all MI state parks) or just a daily pass. The raft is a great and calming experience, with visitors turning a wheel to go out and come back. The geography and wildlife in the spring is so cool to see.
Lindsay Sondelski — Google review
This place is incredible! It's like entering a magical kingdom in the woods. The ferry across is so quiet, so you can just enjoy the crystal clear water and listen to nature. Once I was on the raft, I never wanted to leave. It took about 20 minutes to go out and back, and it was worth every second. It's free to go out on the water as long as you pay to get into the park.
I recommend going when they open. There aren't any crowds at that time, and it's much more peaceful. If you go later in the day, you may find a long line of people.
Amanda Barney — Google review
Nice little spot! Aside from the boat and the gift shop there isn't much to to do here, no trails or anything like that. So you shouldn't plan on spending a whole day here. It's so unique though, that if you're in the area you should plan on coming. If you come early your wait for the boat won't be as bad. The giftshop is alright, nothing spectacular. Lots of restrooms here.
Thirteendays — Google review
A very beautiful spring with crystal clear, blue water. We had to wait in the queue for around half an hour to get in the kid powered raft (if there are kids on the raft), or it's man powered :-) Our kids had so much fun running the self-operated raft. A daily/annual recreation passport is required for entry or pay cash. The daily rate for non-residents is $11, since we travel to Michigan frequently, we bought annual passport for $39 which is valid from January to December.

What a unique little state park! We decided to drive about an hour out of the way to stop here and were very glad we did! The hand operated raft was very neat and the children loved being able to help make the boat go. Watching the water bubble up out of the earth was very fascinating- very much worth the trip! Nice to see such good care being taken of the spring
Kevin Horst — Google review
The self operated raft was amazing. You could see a lot of different types of fish, as well as waterfowl along the edges of the spring. I'd recommend taking time to come visit and see this place in person.
Jordyn Fairaizl — Google review
Finally made it here after many years of wanting to. It's absolutely gorgeous! There's even a cute gift shop. The little boat you take across is powered by the passengers who take turns turning the wheel. So worth the drive to get there! The water is breathtaking and so is the scenery.
Sarah Klosterman — Google review
So much better being here than seeing a picture. It's absolutely beautiful. And that is an understatement. We'll be going here again. FYI, if you visit in late Oct, dress warm
This waterfall is incredible! It is so much fun to climb up it. Even safe enough for the littler kids as long as you keep a good eye on them, or shadow them everywhere. Cold cold water on the falls. Even colder water coming from the freshwater spring and a spring fed feeder stream. But get below where the hydroelectric water is discharged and it is much warmer, although very fast current!
Jason ?Water Buffalo? Bouvette — Google review
Absolutely beautiful. The kids enjoyed playing in the falls. Nice walking path between the falls and the river.
Jessica James — Google review
One of my most favorite waterfalls in the Upper Peninsula! It’s not super touristy compared to other places in the U.P, especially in the off season like early-mid October. We went with are Bernese mountain dog and she had the time of her life.
There’s about 5-8 parking spots & it’s 530 ft from the parking lot to the falls! It’s a semi-steep gravel path that leads to a bridge & waterfall that is part of a hydroelectric plant. Also behind the brown building there, there is another large creek going downstream that is deeper and pretty neat to see.

Definitely worth a stop - it's right off the main road. There's two viewing options with parking, and places along the way to stop. Dogs are welcome.
Laura Sue Russart — Google review
Great falls! The first parking area has a view and trails to the upper falls, which is pretty but has a pipe running behind it from the dam. Still, if you're up for an adventure, it's fun to get down to the falls. The hill has multiple streams flowing to the fall and river. The path also follows the river downstream through the woods to the second parking area and subsequent falls.
The second parking area allows for easy access to the main falls (the gravel path does provide a workout coming back up though!).
We spent more time exploring the upper falls.
Heidi B — Google review
A beautiful stop & one of the more secluded “quick” waterfall stops in the area. Be aware there is a hill to go down to the falls, so you have to get back up, but it’s not very steep & well worth it! There are trails you can explore as well. So pretty & peaceful.
Blythe Haney — Google review
We loved playing in this waterfall! It's small, pretty, accessible and great for the kids! Easy one to check off the waterfalls list!
Teresa Gilin Meller — Google review
We were here today, Wednesday, Aug 31st. I'm overweight/couch potato ,and so this 1 mile round trip walk was pretty easy. First part was downhill, so keep that in mind! Tons of parking, and actual restroom, well a pit toilet, requires a passport (so you pay (honor system) cash. Easy walk to the observation deck to overlook the falls. Water is shallow, you can walk down the tower of stairs down to the second or first level, there are about 70+ nice, sturdy built wooden stairs! BUMPYYYYYY road on the way IN. INTERNET IS SPOTTY! Please see all my photos!

5/5 Stars
This one is great because they are smaller falls and you can walk around on them and enjoy the beauty. Perfect for kidd to enjoy some time to play in the water.

Cool area! Will have to come back with a little more time to explore.
Patrick Miskell — Google review
Beautiful! Short walk down a hill (not the easiest on the way up, but not awful). Great falls that when low you could possibly walk across them…TONS of mosquitoes 🦟 though and they were totally like IDGAF that you humans have bug spray on ha ha! Would have loved to explore more of the area, but the mosquitoes were not hospitable.
Molly Serna — Google review
Beautiful soft flowing waterfall. Not tall but very wide. You can see into the hydroelectric build. Big bridge to walk over. I only walked to the bridge and back up so I can’t speak to what could be beyond that. Hill is gravel walking down. Not the worst hill I have walked up but still a good size hill. You can get into the water but places can be very slippery. Dirt road back to the parking lot. Wide enough for vehicles to pass. Only about 6-8 parking spots. Look for the signs

Beautiful falls in Au Train, MI. Super easy walk to the falls. Did it with my 2 and 4 year old!

Beautiful falls with easy acces and short walk.
Sue Mauhar — Google review
Tucked away and without cell service in abundance in this area you could easily miss it. We only saw the lower falls because where the access to the upper falls used to be was blocked off. The lower falls did not disappoint. Gorgeous area down a short gravel walkway- decent parking area and not super busy so there wasn’t a problem getting a spot.
You literally get right up next to the falls and since it’s not busy it’s really tranquil and enjoyable. There were tons of dragon flies that were eating all the mosquitos which was awesome!!! ✨✨✨ Highly recommend seeing Au Train Falls
Melissa Christensen — Google review
This was an amazing place to see easy access and a great hike. The top by the pipe was a moderate hike were boots in July. At the bottom you can get onto the Falls. There is a little pool towards the bottom take a dip if ya dare. It's cold. We made rock towers and spent 2 hours with nature. Great falls to see!!!
This sculpture park is a great place to visit if you're looking for something different. It's full of interesting, whimsical creations by artist Tom Lakenen, and it's free to visit 24/7. There's also ample parking, so you can easily stop by on your way anywhere else in the area.
Lakenenland is a magical place built with love.
Please stop and drive through (at minimum) this awesome and fun for all ages sculpture park. I highly recommend parking and walking though so you have time to appreciate the finer details put into each sculpture. Whether they be of the Rusty Chain Band or one of the touching tributes to friends and family gone but forever loved.
It's all free, all the time. There's a playground and a stocked fishing pond for the kids, fire pits, a beautiful pavilion, a bandstand, a tshirt shop...so much to see and enjoy.
Thank you, Tom, for creating such an amazing and magical place to share with all.

Well, this was pretty much what I expected.
A tourist trap with a bit of a soul.
The sculptures are very impressive and the piece of land is beautiful. It’s certainly worth an hour visits, but it’s also weird. In an endearing way.
Depending on your persuasion, you may want to leave your political agenda at the entry gate. The artist bears his heart on his sleeve!

The best part of this attraction is not that it's free but that it's open 24 hours! Being able to visit whenever you want is great when planning a day of adventure. We had so much fun walking through. We spent about an hour there and did not see every sculpture.

Highly enjoyable!! Very talented artistry! I really appreciate that we could drive through and see all the art sculptures! I have mobility issues and wouldn't of been able to walk through that far.

Fayette Historic State Park is a vast outdoor space that features a well-preserved 19th-century iron smelting town. The park has 20 historic buildings and offers ample opportunities for hiking, swimming, and picnicking. Located on a peninsula that juts out into Lake Michigan, this scenic location includes picnic spots, boat launch facilities, and a visitor center. For those who love underwater adventure, scuba diving in the harbor is available during certain times of the day.
This place IS Pet friendly, which is an extra star from us, BUT the dogs are not allowed inside any of the buildings, which is to be expected. We have been here so many times, and no matter how many times we visit, we seem to find new things to enjoy each time we come. It's so amazing to walk around and learn about the history of the area, and the buildings and what they were. There are times during the year where people dress in period costumes as well! Such a cool place!
Jessica ?SnowDogs? Hatch — Google review
Wonderful park, with so much history to see! There are numerous buildings you can go inside and check out restoration or artifacts (buildings open from 9-5). There’s a good amount of information to learn about everything. There is walking trail up on the hill that goes around the back and it’s beautiful. There is also a cliff top hike which offers great sunset views and views of the townsite on the bluffs to the northeast. Highly recommend it! All of the staff were so helpful and nice. The visitor center has a great model with more information, along with a good selection of things to purchase.
Lindsay Sondelski — Google review
Went in winter and had the entire place to ourselves. It was magical, having had just snowed the night before. The building were not staffed or open, but experiencing the hike and history was still wonderful. Can't wait to go back in summer for a more immersive experience.
Lisa Reitz — Google review
Absolutely a must place to come see in the area. I think the family as a whole enjoyed this more than the springs. As beautiful as they are it was a short stop. Large parking lot, modern visitor center with nice facilities, gift shop, ice-cream, etc.. Easy trails to cover no matter who you are, plenty of benches and places to rest. Cover at your leisure. This stop can be quick or an entire day! Personally one of my favorite stops ever, if you appreciate history this is a really fun place to visit coupled up with everyone in our party enjoying it makes it a bonus!!!!
Casey Coberly — Google review
Beautiful grounds, with Lake Superior as the backdrop. Newly preserved buildings, and well manicured grounds make thus a step back in time that is enjoyable and educational. Nice gift shop with clean restrooms, and dogs allowed but not in buildings. (Annoying that dog owners do not always adhere to this). A great and beautiful experience!

Really neat place! While walking around the town you can imagine the people that used to live and work there. And the views of Lake Michigan are gorgeous, surrounded on three sides. We walked around the whole place and was a perfect walk. Not too long not to short.

An excellent Michigan State Park. Located in the ‘quiet side’ of the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, this park with its modern campground also boasts a restored 1880’s iron mining village, miles of hiking trails and a ‘campground’ just for boats. The sunsets are spectacular, there is a DNR station with a diorama of what the complete village used to look like, coupled with narration. A robust shop has everything from trinkets and t-shirts to coffee and ice cream. A day at Fayette is well worth the trip. Located on the Garden Peninsula of Upper Michigan.
Susan Henkel — Google review
A most fascinating ghost town to see! I'm sure I took over 50 photos of this historic town!! We saw it at 8:30 a.m. with a lot of fog. A cool site with a tad bit of creepy😂
The state has done an amazing job of caring for the history at this site. It's interesting and beautiful. The campground is on the smaller side which we also liked. The lake was beautiful at sunset and easy to get down to from the campground. You are allowed to have leashed dogs. The park runs free tours of the town so we will check that out on our next trip. This park is off the beaten path but is a must to see!

Wow! We really enjoyed this place. The history hidden in the old town is amazing! I love reading and learning about when was here in industrial area northern-Michigan. The rocks here a gorgeous as well! It’s so beautiful to see the cliffs, the historic town, and the boats marines in the harbor.

Sooo cool that this is still around. It's a great park with lots to see. Walk around the old historic town and walk into many buildings. It's very peaceful and pretty. The welcome center has a large scale model of the town. It's really neat! They are very helpful in answering any questions. There is quite a bit of walking to get around so be prepared for that. There are well groomed walking paths covered in stone. Check out this great piece of history.

Great park with beautifully restored historic buildings. The hike is manageable for many, but would be tough for people with canes or walkers, and would not be wheelchair accessible. Historic buildings are amazing and have great signage. Very interesting and educational. You could easily spend an entire afternoon here. The boat docks are lovely.

Educational and beautiful park surrounded by lake Michigan. Lots of old buildings to check out from the old town. Some buildings are open with displays, but unfortunately some are damaged and closed up. Note, dogs are not allowed in the buildings.
Entrance and parking are free with the Michigan passport. Picnic tables are located near the parking lot for a quick picnic lunch. Visitors center has flush bathrooms and gift shop with snacks and ice cream.
We spent about 2 hours here, but could have easily spent longer. Definitely worth checking out.

Walking into a piece of preserved history lots of old building to explore a very rich history waiting to be explored. It the perfect place to take a trip to the Michigan Recreation Passport get you in. It was a great place to stop on our budget friendly family vacation. Our boys weren't interested in exploring the buildings but fishing off the docks was thier cup of tea we were able to go down the road in Fayette Park is a swimming beach it had clean sand with a bathrooms and picnic tables perfect for eating out of a cooler. Highly recommend very kid friendly.. There was a small gift shop at the entrance to the park.

One of the coolest state parks I've ever been to and I saw a sliver of it. I was there when it was unmanned but no gate and had such a good time taking pics of all of the buildings and seeing the ghost town.

Great place to set as a destination or place to stop when touring the Upper Peninsula. The natural beauty of the area is breathtaking, with the rugged Lake Michigan shoreline offering panoramic views that are especially mesmerizing at sunset. Awesome campground, on the lake.

Wonderful step back in time surrounded by beautiful views! Added bonus of tasty ice cream available which was a welcome delight when we visited on an 80 degree day! I use a cane to get around and the trails are mostly accessible with no more than moderate effort…would be more challenging with walker or wheelchair, but still possible with assistance.

The first time I went to Fayette State Park was about 50 years ago. They have done so much to restore and preserve history. It was fun to go back and see it again. It's even better than I remembered it. You can walk through buildings. There are pictures and plaques along the way to tell you about each area.. worth the stop

This is an important part of Michigan’s history and I highly recommend visiting. They have done a fantastic job of rebuilding and recreating scenes giving you an idea of what life was like in 1880’s. Bring the family, dogs on a leash are welcome but not allowed in any of the buildings. Worth the time.

If you love history then don’t pass this park up. Listening to the history of the park is heartbreaking. I hope they continue to keep the park kept up!
Sand Point Lighthouse, a historic white-brick structure dating back to 1868, boasts a captivating past. Despite enduring storms and fires, the lighthouse continues to illuminate the harbor with its electric light, serving as a guiding beacon for incoming ships.
Ludington Park is a charming waterfront green space in Escanaba, offering a variety of activities for visitors. The park features athletic fields and courts, a beach, and a gazebo. Additionally, it boasts a trail leading to Aronson Island's natural park, the Sand Point Lighthouse, and the Delta County Historical Museum. Families with kids will appreciate the well-maintained play equipment and musical sets available for children to enjoy.
Visited over Easter weekend. First time in Escanaba. Ludington Park provided a great view of the lake. A very neat place to explore with my family.

AWESOME place to go. Lots of great play equipment for the kids & very well maintained. Cool musical sets for the kids to play on (drums, xylophone, chimes, etc) We stayed in Escanaba for 3 days & we spent @ least 4 hrs each day here. Nicely kept grounds w/lots of picnic tables & room for everyone to spread out. Plenty of trees to escape the hot sun. Clean restrooms & if there isn't one close by they have CLEAN portapoties available.
BEST public city owned park I've been to 40+ years! A+

Love this park. I help clean it up when people leave trash and enjoy time in nature there. I made this along time ago with a friend and turned into into a bridge at a certain point and used the same material to make a raft. Noone cared so I mean thats pretty cool if u ask me. I wish people would respect the park, blm came down and spray painted and trashed the place before and I guess miejiers is sponsoring them coming back here so prepare yourselves for the riff raff this spring/ summer. People go into nature to escape politics and apartment life.

I always like to tell a story of my out-of-town trips. In the background pictured a bridge. Two kayakers were traveling under the bridge, as I was going over the top. So I went home and told people I ran over two kayakers. My wife caught it right away.
One thing interesting is that they have a disc golf course within the park. I find that interesting because I know a person or two that does that for fun and recreation.
They have a huge playground area for the kiddos. They also have pit toilets and portable toilets that get maintained regularly.
I have seen dogs in the park. I don't know the particulars of that.

One of my most favorite places to swim in the upper peninsula! It has such a clean and well taken care of beach along with lifeguards that are on duty and a wonderful changing and showering off facility right off the beach, I wish I lived closer so I could go there more often! They also have a very well and moderately challenging frisbee course and a wonderful wooden park, this is a favorite palace among my whole family since there is something for everyone!

Schoolhouse Beach Park is a popular and scenic lakeside destination known for its crystal-clear water and unique beach of smooth limestone rocks. Situated on the northern side of Washington Island, it is considered one of Door County's most unusual beaches due to its soft, flat stones that have been shaped by slow-moving glaciers over millennia. The isolated location offers breathtaking views and an idyllic atmosphere for swimmers and sun worshippers alike to enjoy.
A beautiful beach! Definitely worth a stop. Be sure to not take any stones because they are legally protected. That itself was an interesting factoid.
Jeff Heskin — Google review
Yet another beach in Door County with crystal clear water and excellent skipping stones. The evergreen boreal forest trees that line the shoreline help to create a masterpiece of majestic natural scenery. Beautiful lakeshores like Schoolhouse Beach Park are the reason that Door County stands out from other places in Wisconsin in an amazingly unique way.

One of the highlights of our Washington Island visit. We made a stop on a Saturday in June and encountered a decent amount of visitors, but this clear, smooth-stoned beach is a must visit location if you come to the island.
There seemed to be ample parking, and while we weren't there to picnic, there seemed to be plenty of places to sit and enjoy the space.
Do not come expecting to take some of the rocks home. Rock hounding is highly discouraged and violators face a hefty $250 fine.
Beautiful! The entire beach consists of perfectly smooth stones. Never seen anything like it. The stones make for great skipping stones or stones to build towers with. You're able to swim here if you'd like, and there are buoys in the water to mark the swimming area. Also has restrooms on site and plenty of parking.

My family has been to Washington Island a few times now, but during our last trip we mainly stayed on Schoolhouse Beach. It’s like something out of a fairytale! Breathtakingly beautiful. The limestone rocks are mesmerizing. The water is crystal clear and the cedar trees are enchanting. Can’t wait to go back! We’ve got 3 kids under 4 and they all stayed entertained for hours.

What an amazing hidden beach! Local bartender suggested it, and it was the best stop on the island. The clearest water, and most beautiful beach I've ever seen. Gets deep fast, but water is so clear you can see the bottom even when it gets 15-20ft deep. Crystal clear and beautiful white stone beach. I can't say enough to describe how beautiful this beach was.

Unique beach of round and flat limestones. Perfect for skipping. Small park which fills up quickly. Many parking areas, picnic tables and benches.
Rick Jones — Google review
One of the most beautiful 'beaches' I've ever seen.
Also - when we were there one of the busiest.
We tend to go away from the crowds not toward them. If you want this place to yourself your best bet would be to find accommodations on the island and get here either before the first ferry arrives or after the last one leaves for the day.
It was an awesome place to visit minus the crowd.
Wanderfish — Google review
We took an atv here. I love the shaded area with the trees you can walk under and through, making this natural canopy. The beach is all rocks right? You know that. But just remember. It's ALL rocks. There's no sand. Not even gravel to rest your feet once you get past that tree line. With bare feet, it hurts. And they get hot. So bring swim shoes. Not even flip flops. You'll have a hard time keeping them on. Some people just resort to wearing shoes in the water. And of course some just grin and bare it while they fumble around. Just bring the swim shoes. Oh and there's a lot of rock throwing. Imagine that.
Mary Crawford — Google review
It is absurd and a pity that 10% of this place is public and the rest is private. Would have loved to walk around the bay and back. The location is great, however, given the small portion available, consider not getting there on a national holiday or weekend as it might not be as enjoyable. We were there at 9 AM on a sunday and it was already with 50+ people around.
Parking is limited. There is a public restroom in case it is needed and the pines around are beautiful.

We made the trek from the peninsula to the ferry and drive to the Stavkirke. Was not disappointed. Open to the public and not particularly hard to find, the church is just off the road about to yards via a boardwalk.
If you happen to be here Sundays in the summer, the church hosts services in the Stavkirke. Check with the main church building across the street for times.

This is a beautiful building and a great symbol of some of the heritage that has shaped the Door County Peninsula. It’s a very quiet and peaceful place to visit.

Absolutely incredible architecture and prayer walk, beautiful flowers surrounding the church. Incredible woodwork and definitely worth visiting.
Very efficient company. People were courteous and professional. Only problem I could tell, was on the shoreline side. The signage was a little confusing. Cars line way back up onto the highway. There was a sign to go to the parking lot for the ferry which confused a lot of people instead of staying in the left lane they went to the right lane and then couldn't get down to the ferry is that lane. Watched a lot of them have to do a three-point turn to turn around.

Boats were cleanly and seemed to be in great shape. Can choose to stay in your car or get out and experience the views. Indoor deck to keep you out of the elements, or top deck to enjoy the breeze. Wait time for boarding depends on traffic. No need to get out of your car to buy tickets, as they come to you with a portable charge machine! Very convenient.

These guys are so efficient and friendly, getting on and off the ferry was quick and easy. The ride was perfectly timed to the minute, we were impressed each time. With that in mind, do be early. And please note that reservations are needed for vehicles for spring trips since the ferry only runs a few times a day verses the summer when it runs quite often. Just call the office and let them know what time you want to head over and head back, it's a painless process. Just check in at the booth when you park to get your ticket.

On a Monday in July, we arrived just a few minutes before the time of departure and there was already about 10 cars ahead of us who also would have to wait for the next ferry to take us across. So, be at least 15 minutes early and, if not, enjoy free coffee in their small museum about the history of the islands you'll pass by and see as you cross.
There is plenty of seating inside and outside on the ferry. You can bring pets across for free and even stay in your car as the ferry travels across, though I'd recommend getting out and walking up to the 2nd or 3rd floor to see the captain's steering wheel and the views from of other islands. It can get windy so feel free to move to a side of the ship that is protected from the wind or go to the inside seating.
The ferries seem to leave every 15 minutes that day. You also don't need to have a car to go across, they do have tour trains that drive from tourist site to site on Washington Island.

1st time on the ferry to Washington island. Even though I've been to other parts of Door County several times. My favorite thing about this was that the rates weren't as a bad as I expected to be as shown online. So it was only 60 dollars round trip for 2 people. Not sure I would go again but it was worth seeing once. My favorite part was the lavender shop there.

Very cool experience! Be aware not all ferries are the same size. The driver of our vehicle was unable to exit the truck on the return ferry, because there was zero room to open his door. The ferries do have restrooms and seating to enjoy the ride outside of your vehicle. Something like $96 for 4 adults, 1 child and a vehicle.

We took the tram/train on a tour of the island. Very, very informative. She stopped often so we could get out and see the sights. I highly recommend this.
Modern rooms in a casino resort with restaurants & a nightclub, plus an indoor pool & a golf course.
This is my favorite casino. I have been going here for a few years, just went last night and had, enjoyed playing slots with some friends and getting some delicious white cheddar cheese curds at one of their several restaurants called The Reef. This resort and casino always has friendly staff and plenty of slots, and if you are a bingo fan like I am I suggest going to their cosmic bingo. I have also stayed here multiple times and have to say their rooms are always very clean and modern.

A birds-eye view of the casino floor was a pretty unique and really cool amenity of our whirlpool suite! Stayed here for just one night and it was a nice experience. The suite was essentially two rooms put together. One had the whirlpool and the other had the bathroom and beds. The room with the whirlpool had a full couch and a table with chairs. Both rooms had a large TV as well. Beds were comfortable, but the pillows were too small and felt like “little boulders” according to my Mom (I am an adult that is fortunate to still be able to travel with my parents). I really, and I can’t stress this enough, really really appreciated the fact that the hotel has a separate adults-only pool. Nothing against kids, but it is nice to have someplace for adults to relax and not to be constantly barraged with all the noise and water activities that typically come from hotel pools that are open to all. Don’t worry, there is a indoor water park too if you want to bring the kids. One thing I didn’t care for was the fact that if you stayed in the Sun Tower like we did you either had to roll the luggage cart through the casino dodging people along the way or pull up to the other entrance (which we didn’t know about until we checked out). The casino had a good variety of games and we actually ended up leaving with a profit! We ate at The Reef counter service restaurant and the food was good and the prices were fair. We also had Old Fashioned drinks at the bar and the bartender was great and actually knew how to make a good one which was very nice. We will definitely be back.

The casino was nice. Was able to play for a while without losing all my money right away. The kids' pool was awesome. We ate at 2 different places in the casino. The food court type place was good.

We stayed here for one night on a Saturday in a king bed bedroom. The room was clean but older and basic. It didn’t include a mini fridge which I could have checked online but I thought all rooms just include that. We were on the 12th floor and it was quiet. The air conditioner/heater made a loud noise and so did the bathroom fan so that was annoying. We ate at the steakhouse for dinner which was good and enjoyed the casino. It was pretty busy at times but a good variety of slot machines. It was a good size casino a little on the smaller side and a couple different food options open until 1 am. All the staff was very nice and helpful. Included in the hotel stay you can go to the adults only pool, hot tub, sauna, and steam room which is open until 1 am. The pool was salt water which was nice but the hot tub could be bigger it was full the whole time we were down there. Overall we had a great stay and would visit again!

We love the new water park! The pizza I had was so good. The tuxedo truffle mousse cake was so delicious and rich.

My wife and I got married in the ballroom and we could not have been happier. Our original wedding coordinator at the casino was not very good. She forgot to book our food tasting, meaning we had to travel another 3 hours round trip, didn't tell us we couldn't have a buffet until 1 month before, almost never responded to us, booked our wedding on a day when the venue was already booked, etc. We were so upset that we were ready to be done with them, but then we were told she would be leaving and a new woman would be taking her place. Enter Ashlee Jones. She was able to schedule our food tasting immediately, she went out of her way to make sure every second of the planning was easy and fun! She responded to our questions immediately. I honestly can't say enough good things about her.
Also, the amenities you get from The Island are incredible! We got plated meals for 200 guests, a wedding cake, the venue, ALL of our decorations, the seating (tables and chairs), hair and makeup for our bridesmaids, the king suite, and a late night pizza snack! They also worked with our DJ to make sure all the sound and lighting were perfect. Not to mention they set everything up and tore everything down for us! Anywhere else all of that would cost at LEAST $15,000. This was SO much more affordable! I wish I could remember the name of the woman in charge of decorating our venue because she was also phenomenal. When I came in and saw the tablecloths were the wrong color, she immediately went to work correcting the situation and was so wonderful to work with.
It took me way too long to write this review, but thank you so much to everyone at The Island Resort and Casino for making our wedding day absolutely perfect!

I have been up to this casino approximately 3 to 6 times in my life and this place just gets it right every time! There is a lady named Julie that works in the players club that is an account coordinator and she is probably the best human on earth! She is there to answer any and every question you might have and she is a very informative person and you could tell she really likes working there and she really likes helping out a guest. It just felt real unlike when you go to other casinos and they will answer your questions but you can tell that they don't seem to want to even be at work let alone being genuine with a guest. With all this being said beautiful stay beautiful hotel beautiful water park and would definitely recommend to anyone else who has never been here but today was the first day that I met Julie and she just really made my day so I wanted to let everyone know that she does a great job! Thank you Julie for making this trip the best one so far, keep being you and being a great human. It is so refreshing that there are still good employees out there that care about the guest.

I have stayed at the Island twice now and I love it! We want to try to stay every year. The kids loved the pool. The only thing I don't like is the separation of the kids and adults pool.

Felt like Joe at the front desk worked very hard to give us a room in the worst location. We were on the second floor, our window looked out to the casino floor (warning in our room that we could be seen if the drapes were open), by the elevators and ice machine across from the laundry. None of which was told to us at check in. I advise avoiding the low, even-numbered 200 rooms in what I'll call the "old" section. Went to the pool/whirlpool which had been taken over by a loud group that had brought in their own alcohol, which is posted that you could not do. Several hotel employees were in and out but nothing was said or done. When ordering Starbucks coffee, which they proudly advertise they carry, we were informed that they could not make a decaf latte (seriously?). So we went to the car to retrieve our Yeti mugs and make coffee in the room and were stopped by a security guard saying we couldn't have the mugs on the casino floor. Thanks, Joe, for giving us a room ALL the way across the casino. We explained we were taking them to our room. Also took the opportunity to explain our pool experience. Response was, well, no one must have complained. I guess if you work at the hotel you're exempt from reporting customers that are violating what is posted on the signs. Perhaps if we were playing golf or eating at the high end steak house things might have been different.

The service and staff at both the hotel and casino are stellar. However, the rooms are outdated, and cleanliness could be better, as carpets throughout, rooms, and halls are dirty or stained. The window shades/curtains don't have the ability to close completely, so the resort lighting outside constantly comes through. The soap dispenser in the shower works occasionally. No mini fridge, and the in room coffee maker is in the bathroom, which makes it a cold day in hell before i use that. I am grateful that the casino is smoke-free. Other than a face lift, the hotel is very reasonable, considering the rates . I think the most humorous part of my stay was that the hotel is actually in Central Time Zone, but it's so close to the Eastern Time Zone that that is what the entire resort runs on...it's very funny and confusing all at the same time!!!

P.S. we had a beautiful sunset view from our room the night we checked in. Special bonus!

Stayed several days and nights on our cross country trip, northern route. Used it as a base camp to visit local attractions and experience the area.
In early November the parking lot is unusually empty but the weekend is crowded. The park is compact, two areas, but one has a shower house. Gas, laundry, clinic and "weed" 🤔 at the adjacent gas station. Water was off but power was fine. Filled our tank at the shower house, so no issues, Front desk at the hotel was very accommodating as we kept changing our stay due to weather and RV issues. Thank you!
We enjoyed the restaurant on the top floor of the hotel, lovely... The faster food and sports bar on the first floor were fine. One of the quieter casinos we've visited but varied and exciting. Friday and Saturday saw a huge crowd. Not gamblers ourselves but those who were, seemed to be having a great time. If you're traveling in the off season in UP we'd really recommend this RV park 😉.

Worst Hotel Casino Ever!!!!!!! Went back in February. Earned 4089 (If you guys read this do the math on my spend in one visit. Live 4 hours away. Once I saw they had a water park thought this is great!!! My kids can play and at night I can go out! Well this is incredibly stupid. They need to decide who their crowd is for the water park. Its either the locals up there who come just for the water park and spend nothing. Or guests with kids but also come to gamble. Stated they have a adults only pool, but its not enforced either. More kids in there. When I went in February they had bus upon bus of local people for the water park. Went in with my kids and could barely move so many people. Well now, they split it: 100 for hotel 100 for locals. Still stupid because the water park passes sell right away. Then the hotel passes you have to buy a special package to get them. Limit 4 (cant do 5 because apparently one more is just not possible.) So the crowds they are going for no kids and locals. Not going to drive 4 hours just to gamble. Wisconsin has a lot of casinos, I'll give my money to my local casinos.

Kids are no longer allowed in the pool!!!!
I booked a room and specifically asked if the pool was open. I had to tell them who would be in my room (two adults, two children). Why was it not communicated to me at the time of booking, that the pool I asked about was no longer available to children? We’ve been coming here on and off for 8 years and have always brought the kids. The water park is nearly impossible to get tickets to on the weekends unless you buy them WEEKS in advanced!
I did not know the rules had changed and the kids were not allowed. Found this out when a drunk/impaired individual became combative to my husband and I about kids not being allowed. The individual then went and got security, security came and asked us to leave. The man was being very combative with my husband and even got a little physical with me. I was attempting to keep him from going after my husband while we gathered our things. Not a word was said to this man about his behavior.
This experience alone has me feeling that I will not return! It was always a nice little getaway without having to go too far from home!
Also, I always thought they had mini fridges in their rooms, I could be mistaken…but there was not. If you do go, you will want to check before bringing anything that requires refrigeration.

It's a nice place. There is a lot on site so you don't have to leave.
BUT, the problem I have is all of my comps they send me for free rooms every month are not usable, unless you play their game and book a bunch of dates in advance and if you receive a promo for that month your interested in use it or cancel the reservation if you don't want it. This is not helpful to anyone. Build a bigger hotel! You can watch your promo cash on your mail offers drop too as your reservation dates get closer, it's laughable.
Last visit in June we had 4 wood ticks in our room and my wife requested a new room in the middle of the night. They did accommodate us, but the only room they had left was an upgrade(which really didn't seem like an upgrade), but they so graciously waived the fee. Bless your heart for not making us sleep in your dirty room as if we were sleeping in a tent. The next day we had a few good hits, so we might came back again.

Visited while staying nearby. Service was excellent. We played the early bird bingo, the floor and took in the free band that was playing. This would not be destination location for us but worked when traveling through. Very busy though so lots of people seem to enjoy it.

I visited the Drift Spa, and they had my cell number wrong, so the appointments had to get switched around. But the facility is very clean, tranquil and staff are friendly. You are at a spa, so prices are definitely higher. Overall experience is a 5, but due to pricing and the fact they auto generated a tip onto the price(isn't told to you). I feel like your tip should be up to you, and your budget. I give it a 4 🌟

We have been there twice and enjoy going. The staff is really good, and everything is clean and nice. The foods at the restaurants are delicious and reasonably priced. The spa is just beautiful. The gambling was fun too and the views are gorgeous, especially in the fall. The loyalty program allows for free nights and bonus cash to gamble with or to use for meals. My bed was super lumpy and sunken in on one side this last time, which is my only complaint. Still, I’d go back in a New York minute!

Love this casino/resort! Our room was big with a super comfy bed, fridge and micro. The adults only saltwater pool, hot tub, sauna AND stream room was awesome. We won a bit at the casino. Breakfast at the restaurant was great. The whole staff here was SO friendly. Can't wait to come back!

The room was clean. Very kind employees. Payouts for the casino were disappointing. I walked around for two days and didn't see or hear much jingling going on. No big winners. I had a great time. I liked the choices for food and beverages. A good mix of machines.

Island Resort & Casino is a top choice for group tours, and as a tour operator, it ranks high on my list of preferred destinations. The entire facility, including the casino, banquet rooms, hotel rooms, and gaming floor, is maintained with exceptional cleanliness. The array of eateries within the resort offers excellent food that caters to a variety of tastes. When it comes to gaming options, they are diverse and engaging, ensuring a great experience for all. The accommodations are comfortable and well-appointed, making every stay pleasant.
A standout feature is the banquet and catering team, whose expertise and efficiency contribute significantly to the success of events held here. Additionally, the resort's first-class spa is a must-visit, providing a luxurious and relaxing experience.
What truly sets Island Resort & Casino apart is its staff, who are among the best in the hospitality industry. Their dedication to service and guest satisfaction is evident in every interaction, making every visit memorable. I highly recommend Island Resort & Casino for its all-around excellence and commitment to providing a top-notch experience.

Nice hotel, we stayed on the south side. I heard the rooms on the north side are nicer, so you may want to request to be over there, but the ones we had were fine. We ate at the steak house, it was adequate, not great. The staff was great, and everyone was friendly. The band was awesome, and the music venue was roomy with a good amount of seating. Casino was fun.

The suite was decent. However, it had a funky stench to it. The food options at the casino need to be better. Also, the steakhouse won't take reservations for less than 5 people. The wait for 4 was 1.5 hours. The band we went to see made it all worth it, and we had a great time with them.

Stayed in the hotel part that they just built. It was nice only problem is the toilet. If your short like me bring a step stool otherwise you will not be able to properly wipe when you go because the toilet is for tall people. Otherwise the hotel room was very nice. Upper management just should have thought about getting stools in the bathrooms for short people. Also when checking out the staff member did not ask how the stay was when in times past they have always asked about the stay.
The Cana Island Lighthouse, situated in Baileys Harbor, is a 19th-century lighthouse that also includes the original keeper's quarters. This historic landmark is open to visitors seasonally and can be accessed by taking a tractor ride to the island. The lighthouse has a distinct appearance with its tall white tower and black lantern on top. It serves as an active light while also offering tours for visitors to explore the local history of the area.
Being part of history is always fun. We drove a tractor over rocks to get to the other side. Super fun. We got to look at the lighthouse and other historical buildings/finds. The views were gorgeous and we had lots of fun exploring! Highly recommend 👌.

So much fun!!! Parking lot available although can get tight and you may have to park along side the road. You can walk across a water channel to get to the lighthouse area or they will tracker and trailer you over. It is 12 dollars a person, but gives you access to go into the lighthouse. We climbed the spiral staircase and got to look over Lake Michigan. Such a beautiful view! You can also walk along the shore and check out some historical sites around the lighthouse. Would recommend!
Tara Miller — Google review
Cana Lighthouse and all the surrounding buildings underwent a massive restoration within the last few years. It was finished last year. There is a nice new parking lot, porta potties, welcome center and gift shop, nice restrooms (on the island) and more. The light house keeper’s house, out house, workshop and fuel storage area are all renovated and beautifully restored.
The house is being decorated in 1920 era furnishings. There are 97 steps up to the top of the lighthouse, not for those who fear heights!! The view is spectacular however.
There is access to the rocky shore and it is a great place to sit and enjoy some peace and quiet among the waves lapping the rocks.
There is a tractor with a rough wagon ride to and from the island. It is possible to walk across if the water is low enough but the ride is fun.
Admission is charged to gain access to the lighthouse area. Wristbands are worn to show one has paid.
The docent was knowledgeable and friendly.
It is a wonderful way to learn about the history of lighthouses etc. Quite enjoyable!

Unique little lighthouse with interesting lighthouse keeper story. Well maintained by the current lighthouse keeper. A free hayride can take you across the walkway - which had water across it when we visited so that was a nice treat on the way back. They were short staffed the day we visited so it wasn’t available as we walked over.
There are 97 steps to the top which has a nice view. I paid for one of our members to enter, but walking was an issue for her. Unless you are planning to actually go up and actively look at all of the displays, you might be better served to stay at the gift shop with those displays.
Bathrooms were clean and easily accessible.

This is a nice 155-year-old lighthouse that is operated by the Door County Maritime Museum and well-maintained. After walking across the causeway (that often is covered with water and requires a haywagon ride), we climbed the 97 steps of the spiral staircase to the top of the lighthouse and saw beautiful views of Lake Michigan. Afterward we viewed the lighthouse keeper’s home and oil house, and then walked around the edges of the island on the rocky shore next to the water. We had a nice adventure there!

Neat place if you like lighthouses. I felt ambivalent to them before this, and same now. Island is pretty, but small. Whole experience took me about 1 hour, including having to wait 20 minutes for the volunteers to get there to open the lighthouse. (A huge thanks to them for making a 2 hour drive to volunteer). I visited on a Tuesday morning and it wasn’t crowded, but I got there 30 minutes before the first tractor crossing. A bumpy tractor ride to the island where it’s $10 to see the island and climb the lighthouse. I’m glad I was alone and didn’t have my family with me, because it would have been terrible to pay $10 for each of them too. Neat view from the top, but I can’t say I’m glad I went. Been there, done that. Won’t be back. And won’t recommend to others unless they really dig lighthouses.

The lighthouse was closed for renovations while we were there. Very disappointing. But additional small buildings were open, the lighthouse was impressive from the outside, and the landscape is impressive. The gift shop is nice and a video presentation is available. The best part of the trip was the tractor ride across the causeway. We could have walked it across low water. But the driver was so witty and entertaining. A jostling, rough ride, though. It would be challenging for some with physical impairment.

Very beautiful lighthouse and Lakeshore. U can walk to the island if water is shallow. There is a ticket to go on the island and see the lighthouse. It has 97 stairs. View is serene

I have dreamed of returning to Cana lighthouse. As an 8 yr old, I walked across the water knee deep to the island without my parents. 44 yrs later, I finally returned. The water was shallow, and there were enough rocks to walk across the rocks. Once on the island, it's so much more open than I remembered. Each direction of the island has fun entrances to the beach areas. We were there at sunset to enjoy the gentle sunset over the trees. It's nice to know that magic still exists and you can return.

I highly recommend visiting Cana Island Lighthouse. The water was low, but we rode the tractor to get to the island. It was a bumpy ride, so we did walk back. They did a multi-million dollar renovation in 2020. There's a visitor center where you can watch a 10-minute video and pay the entrance fee. There are 97 steps to the top of the lighthouse, and you can walk around at the top.

Being pulled by a John Deere tractor in a old haywagon across a road of rocks coveted by the lake was awesome. The driver was hilarious. The lighthouse and beach were both awesome. I hope to be able to climb to the top of the lighthouse next time we visit. It was $10 per adult and worth it.
Edward Fritz — Google review
Very nice island. You CAN walk across but still need to pay when you reach the other side. Lighthouse was under construction while we were there but still a nice visit. Just be warned that there is a good amount of buying flies around the water on the island. They are pretty potent as well.

A breathtaking place at Door County. A tractor ride to the island will give you an ancient feel. The view from top of the lighthouse is truly amazing. Have few openings to move close to beach and water. A visitor center is there to buy souvenirs. $12 ticket is required for each adult. Highly recommend to visit.

I would say this is most definitely NOT worth $12 a person. If we would have known it was going to cost that much, we would not have gone. That being said, it is very beautiful. I'm not that into historical buildings, I'd rather read a history book, but the view from the top of the lighthouse is magnificent. The shoreline is rocky and sandy and our daughter had fun climbing all over and pretending to be the Little mermaid.

Cana Island lighthouse is one of the many we were lucky enough to tour while vacationing in the area. We dedicated three out of seven full vacation days to visiting Door County and touring small towns, lighthouses, and maritime museums.
The tour was excellent and the walk across the causeway was easy but a little ankle-twisty. We wore good walking shoes but hiking boots with ankle support seemed a better option to navigate the rocky terrain.
You can take the tractor across the causeway, but it was dry when we visited, and still hadn't made it across in the few minutes it took to walk it. Most people of all fitness levels can easily manage if not mobility impaired. I wouldn't recommend the walk if relying on a cane for assistance.
We took the easy stairwell to the top for an excellent view. We are in typical shape for the average, American, early 50s couple - we carry a few extra pounds, and we were able to manage the stairwell easier than we expected.
If you have an aversion to vault toilets and porta potties, be sure to use a public restroom in town before visiting.
The tour and the view are worth the price of admission, the time dedicated, and the effort to get there.
We recommend allotting approximately an hour to an hour and a half time to explore the grounds, take the tour, and shop in the gift shop.

This island museum is a must see!
We got a ride over to the island, which is walkable if the volunteer is not available.
There are all kinds of displays in this exhibit, that give you a sense of lighthouse culture. They would also board visitors so they were kind of like travel centers
You can climb the lighthouse for a view - it certainly was windy and cold when we were up there but still worth the climb, of course
Also a gift shop with souvies and more history of the lighthouse facility
Shop dog is a good boah

The wagon tractor across to the island is super helpful and very convenient. The kids were not fans of the vault toilets, but understandable the need for them with limited plumbing. The lighthouse was beautiful and busy. We were able to climb the 97 steps on the spiral staircase to see the view from the top. Amazing view, not for those afraid of heights!

Different from other light houses. The location itself makes it unique. Travel/Walk to the cana island from the parking also makes it unique. Climb to the top of the light house for stunning 360 degree views. It is very scenic. It also has museum and a gift shop.

OUTDOOR ENTERTAINMENT AMONG THE PINES
This open air theater is located inside Peninsula State Park in Fish Creek. If you enter within one hour of the performance and park in the the correct parking lot, you don’t have to purchase a park pass. Just driving into the park to find that lot is quite the adventure, following the signs and hoping for the best. The performances throughout the year are varied and I thoroughly enjoyed the one I attended.

Have been to several performances over the past 5 years. Have always enjoyed the one of a kind plays. The actors are very professional and quite entertaining. Most of the time the actors are the musical players too. The venue is in the woods with the sky above. When going remember to bring bug repellent and a flashlight to see with after the play. Seating is always good and they provide cushions for the wood benches.

What a wonderful place to get lost in a theatrical fantasy! As you drive deep into the forest of the Peninsula State Park, it's hard to imagine a theater set outdoors. Once you are seated, it feels like you are in your own little world for awhile. After the show, the darkened paths you entered on are romantically lit so you can safely find your way back to your car and the real world.

Absolutely a gem of a Wisconsin treasure. This theatre has grown and changed through the years but always stayed true to its populist creed - original musicals based in Wisconsin culture, priced and appropriate for families. Funny, surprising, heartfelt and unique. No one should pass up a chance to see one of their shows. The music is unbelievable and so are the voices!!

We saw The Fish Whisperer for the first time. Not quite what I expected but it was a very cool show. Can't go wrong with the actors in the cast. It very tastefully dealt with some very serious topics without getting too heavy. Very cute song and dance at the end. (Oops. Maybe I wasn't supposed to give that away!) Can't wait to see it again!

This theater is a unique gem in the woods. If you want to be entertained with great energy, talent, and humor, I highly recommend it. Take the entire family twice, the shows are worth the money and change nightly. This is a priority for me anytime I’m in the area and I love seeing the new shows annually. I’ve never seen a theater and company as neat as this one.
The stunning Peninsula State Park is a vast and picturesque park located in Wisconsin, boasting beautiful beaches, bluffs, caves, creeks and several islands. Established in 1909, this sprawling park has an array of excellent amenities for visitors to enjoy such as camping facilities and bike trails. The park is also home to a challenging but rewarding hiking trail called Eagle Trail that showcases some of the most breathtaking scenery in the region.
Enjoyed a three night stay in a non-electric campsite. Campsite host was helpful. This park has a lot to offer and has an incredibly high number of people biking so be very careful when traveling around. Bike rentals available in town or at the beach in the park. The various hiking trails are also busy. The Eagle Trail is nice but very difficult to travel on in parts...not for the frail or unambitious. The Park also has a nice golf course and professionally-manged outdoor musical production company.

ONE OF THE BEST STATE PARKS I HAVE EVER BEEN TO!!!
This place really is the bees knees, full of so many amenities and hidden gems one could spend a month here and still not experience all it has to offer. The park manager Matt is extremely polite, informative, and friendly. The staff has the campgrounds looking outstanding and their enthusiasm is refreshingly reminiscent of the "good ole days" when I was a kid and went to campgrounds. Excellent place for families and a place to disconnect!!! If you are a runner, the Vista trail to the sentinel trail across the park to the Eagle Tower(shown in the pictures) is a great route.

Peninsula State Park is reason enough to purchase an annual Wisconsin State park sticker! There's so much to see and do here!

This place has lots of different trails either for hiking or skiing you'll have a good time. As I was during winter you better bring a nice jacket and gloves and good hiking boots as there are spots which are super slippery so be aware of that!

Eagle bluff loop was nice though probably would recommend biking or jogging it over a leisurely stroll, as it’s a little on the longer side for a walk. Trail was in good shape. Next time I think I’ll camp here too, the campsites looked promising and well spread out throughout the park.

Absolutely gorgeous state park. We camped here for the weekend and loved it.
The campgrounds were in great condition and they had showers and facilities in the campgrounds. They offer firewood at all times of day, via a firewood vending machine. There's some really great views and lookouts, I definitely recommend driving/hiking/biking around the park and seeing all the sights it offers.
Lots of trails and lots of places to sight see. It also offers a great location, if you want to explore Door County (as it's only a couple of minutes from Fish Creek and Sister Bay).

Really nice place! Even in the Fall and in the rain I had a lot of fun. It was a bit cold, didn't bother me.
I have 2 torn discs in my back and I was able to use the ramp and my walking stick to walk up to the top of the tower. Once of the nicest designed towers I've ever seen! Not too steep for most people I would guess.
Will return in other seasons for sure.

Lots to do here in this state park!
Views of the lake and islands at Eagle Tower, various overlooks, Nicolet Bay beach, nearby amphitheater, hiking, boat access, historic lighthouse, and a lot more.
We stayed in the car since it was raining, but there are lots of areas to park to hit the trails or various attractions.
One highlight was that we built a morning fire in the picnic shelter and really enjoyed sitting inside while the wind and rain howled outside.

Cave Point County Park is a natural wonderland located on the eastern side of Door County peninsula near Whitefish Bay.

Excellent snowshoeing and beautiful frozen features all winter. Exercise caution if you are nearing the edge of the ice as Wisconsin natives will tell you it has a bit of a dangerous reputation in the colder seasons. Unfortunately tourists leave little rock statues all over the place in the summer which takes away from the natural aspect of the serene rock beaches. One of Door County's hidden gems.

Very beautiful park, the waves were pounding the shoreline with 5-6 foot waves, you definitely wouldn’t fall off into the water, you’re about 15-20 feet above the water, spectacular wave action against the rocky shoreline, very uneven walking paths, but would like to return!!

This is a beautiful park. It was a very easy walk along the lake. You walk in the forest and cut into the lake to see the bluffs, or dip your toes in the water. In the middle of the trail, you transition into the state park and get to the dunes/beach. Highly recommend.

It was okay. Went there as a trip down memory lane and it just didn't hit the same. It was a beautiful day out but quite hot. So most of the animals were hiding in their enclosure. It would be nice if they had more non-American animals. It also would be helpful if they made a site map cause it felt like I was going in circles from time to time. The DeYoung Zoo feels more like a sanctuary.

We love going here annually. Bud and Carrie are true animal lovers and experts. They have a schedule of events throughout the day. Small entrance fee also you can buy food for animals. All proceeds go to care of the animals. We also give extra cash donations for the animals. The animal encounters are our favorite.

The BEST zoo. We live in Florida and visit Menominee for family and we always come to this zoo. I love how they care so much about the animals and the animal encounters are the best. Highly recommend!

Fantastic zoo! Everything is so close but yet so safe. You can tell the owners love the animals and the ability to feed them is awesome as well. The different types of animals is also great how it differs from other zoos.

What an amazing place! What a gift to have an owner that is willing to share his love and passion with us! He was out feeding the animals during scheduled times and is very personable. I had the best time. It’s not a “zoo” in the traditional sense. This guy opened his backyard to all animals needing homes. I will be coming back for sure!!! Thank you!

I can't say enough about this zoo. Deyoungs is a no kill animal rescue. They do wonderful things with the animals. I recently spent the day there with my grand daughter. Afterwards, we did the sloth critter connection where she got to hold and interact with the sloth. It just so happened when we arrived she (Carrie I believe) was working with a couple other young animals, and she was so so kind as to allow us to interact with the wallaby and Penguin as well. We had the best day!! All the money that is taken in from the zoo and the critter connection is used to rehab these animals. So by all means, go and have a great day with your kids. I can't say enough about her knowledge and patience (cause she needed it with a 6 yr old) we will definitely be checking out the new little ones in her critter connection next year. You need to buy tickets in advance for the critter connection, but not the Zoo.

We had the best day visiting and touching Capybaras, Sloths, Otters, Kangaroo baby, and a Dingo puppy. Carrie was the zookeeper and owner. She was so full of great information about the animals and everything. She was so kind and made our experience memorable. Thanks Carrie! We will be back. I recommend everyone to go the the DeYoung Zoo.

Visited the DeYoung Family Zoo this past weekend and it was an unforgettable and amazing experience.
In total, there are approximately 50-75 species of animals. During our visit, we saw at least one hippo, bear, tiger, camel, emu, wolf, sloth, porcupine, alligator, coyote, dingo, tortoise, goat, sheep, chicken, pig, deer, turkey.
The enclosures are large - some larger than you’d see in large-scale zoos. The property itself sits in a heavily wooded area and the walking paths are dirt. It’s just about as natural of a setting as it can get.
The feeding experiences are incredible. Not only does the family do a great job of wrangling the visitors up during feeding and providing great information, they also get the visitors involved with hands-on feeding of their own. At the entrance building, you can purchase items such as carrots or lettuce and feed them to animals throughout the zoo. There are signs posted that let you know which animals are which to have certain foods.
The animals themselves seemed very happy and engaging. Again, more than I’ve ever seen at larger zoos. We were able to hold a wolf pup, pet a hippo while hand-feeding him and also have an educational encounter with a sloth. This was a solo experience led by Carrie. We had so many questions about the sloth and she was exceptional. Everyone we still at the zoo was incredibly friendly, grateful we were there and so insightful.
When you go, you’ll want to get there right when they open. You won’t want to miss one of the feedings or other interactive experiences. They opened at 10:00am CENTRAL time, not Eastern time. If you need to go back to your car for any reason, they just stamp your hand on your way out so you can get back in. Also, there is no food available on site - there is a small food stand on the other side of their parking lot across the street that has some basics to hold you over. The people who run this are kind as well.
I’m very happy to leave a 5-star review. The only suggestions I would make are perhaps a few more seating areas, picnic tables… and then maybe a park map. Doesn’t have to be anything fancy. Just a print-out of the exhibits.
Thank you to everyone at the zoo for all you do!

Absolutely love this zoo and the different variety of animals it has. It's so nice to see animals that enjoy their exhibits and are clearly loved by the staff. I also love the animal encounters. We were able to hold baby goats, chickens, snakes, and a baby wolf. You also get to buy feed to feed to all the animals including a hippo.
I would have given 5 stars, but I felt like we spent all of our time chasing the staff around the zoo to each enclosure that they were presenting at. While I loved each one and learned a lot, I'm sad that I didn't have enough time to see the other animals in the zoo.
Next time we visit, we will be sure to walk through the zoo at our own pace so that we can see everything.

This zoo is so educational and hands-on with visitors and animals. The natural habitats are wonderful to see. I love that multi generations of the family work at the zoo. This place is a must visit. Feeding the animals is our favorite.
Door Peninsula Winery is an award-winning winery located in Carlsville, Wisconsin. It offers tours of its state-of-the-art production line and tastings of over fifty different wines made from various fruits and high-quality grapes. The winery is situated in a former schoolhouse and has been producing wine for over forty years. Visitors can enjoy their wine tasting experience either in the charming garden or atmospheric tasting room.
I made my way here, because the distillery is in the building with the winery. We stopped at the outside patio first. It was lovely and the staff was very helpful. I had no idea how to navigate the space, and the bartenders outside were very patient and gave some advice on the best way to go through the business.
There was short line for the wine tasting and we were greeted while waiting. I was told how the testing worked and given a menu to review while in line.
It was certainly worth the wait and I do recommend factoring some extra time to try the wines and enjoy the information from the staff.

Was a lot there. Wine and distillery. Went for the wine. 5 free tastes. Stand at the bar and taste. Nothing for Gluten free people to nibble on between wines. Made it harder to experience each wine to their fullest. Didn't like any of the 5 so I ordered a glass of another on a leap of faith. Didn't like that one either. Tasted 10 but didn't find any that I really cared for. To have with our glass of wine I went into their fudge and cheese shop and paid for some very over priced cheese curds and meat sticks..pre packaged. We went out to have our wine and snacks on a balcony off the distillery area. Not a great view but was ok. Sooo not the experience we really enjoy. The wine was meh.. But they have a Lot of flavors we didn't try. The staff in the wine department were very good. Staff in the cheese shop pretended you didn't exist. They might have something for you though... It's a matter of taste and style of tasting you like. We won't be back though.

Nice brake in your travels. Just stop to taste some wino or even have hard liquors (it is winery and distillery together). If you are driver oh well you will not be able to do it.

I visited several wineries while in Door County with Door Peninsula being the first. It was very hard to visit some of the other wineries after being here first. There is so much to discover here from over 50 delicious wines a distillary with flavored moonshine, Bourbons, other liquor, cheeses, dips gifts and an amazingly spacious building. I love sweet fruit flavored wines and these were fantastic.
I started out with a bad experience in the distillery sampling bar where I absolutely could not get a bartender to take my money even after 20 minutes standing there with a completed sample list and cash sitting on the clip board. I understand first come first serve but if poeple were so indecisive as these individuals were, there was no reason that they couldn't served me and returned to them when ready. I was so upset that I almost headed to my car before seeing the rest of the building. The process of serving people absolutely needs to be changed!
I was so disgusted that I headed toward the front door and at the last second, decided to see what else was being offered. I enjoyed the company of a super hard working bartender, which I dont remember her name but she was definitely a multitasker unlike the two ladies in the distillery area. She handled at least a dozen peoples orders and was able to keep track in her head how many each person had taste tested and what kind. Between the bartenders actions and the amazing array of other things to discover, my image of Door Peninsula was restored before I left the building. I really wanted to purchase something from the distillery but never went back.
The Door County Maritime Museum is a waterfront museum showcasing exhibits that delve into the maritime history of the region. It houses an array of remarkable artifacts such as vintage maps, model ships and memorabilia for visitors to explore. The museum also features a restored tugboat, John Purves, and a historic Coast Guard vessel moored outside. Established in 1969, the main building has a distinctive ten-story high lighthouse tower that overlooks Sturgeon Bay and its marina.
Is a great learning experience about all the ships that went down in the waters around the door peninsula. The sights to see from the new tower that they built are breath taking. Definitely a place to stop and see and learn all about the ships, crew, the lighthouses and what made door county the great place it is today!

I've been wanting to check this museum out since seeing it on one of the Door County Trolley Tours a couple years ago. We finally made a Sturgeon Bay trip happen and we stopped in finally. It is a very cool thing to do for $30. My wife and I went and had a very educational time. There is so much that I didn't know about this area and Wisconsin history as a whole. The observation tower is really cool and you can see for miles!! The ability to see all the Marina's and boats going up and down the waterways is neat. I've been into boats and Maritime things since I was a kid. Seeing the history of Sturgeon Bay and its boating history was really cool. I'd highly recommend this place to anyone interested in history, boats, maritime history, and it's good for families and kids.

This is a wonderful museum on the Sturgeon Bay waterfront that educates the visitors about boats, ships, and lighthouses, and the people who’ve built and operated them through the years. We toured the new tower first (with great views from the top), and then the older section with the wonderful boat exhibits, beautiful mural, videos, and interactive displays about the many shipwrecks and how to operate a boat safely and competently. Right before they closed we bought a T-shirt in the nice gift shop, where the friendly employee told us we could come back the next morning for the tugboat tour. We did, and the competent tour guide (who had been a boat operator himself) showed us the 149-foot John Purves Tugboat that had been restored after being built in 1919 and traveling long distances in dangerous waters. Usually seeing only small tugboats in the Savannah River, we were amazed that this very large one was designed for a 13-man crew for long trips and had private bedrooms and bathrooms, a full kitchen, and a large engine room. (We read recently on the website that this tugboat is being repaired and will be open for guests again May 1.) This is a high quality museum, and we enjoyed our time there!

The staff were all friendly and helpful. The building was clean and pretty well laid out. I was just expecting much more, so it was a bit underwhelming. My expectation was elevated since it was billed as a top area attraction in many Door County brochures. It wasn't terrible by any means, just okay

Huge museum, we enjoyed about 3 hours there. We didn't expect to be there for so long but were pleasantly surprised.
We paid $5 extra for the tour of the tug boat and that was so worth it! It was great to see the restoration work up close and really appreciated all the history included in the tour.
Going up and down through the tower was also a very nice aspect of the museum.
We learned a ton of maritime history and had fun.

This is a very good museum that told the extensive history of shipbuilding in Sturgeon Bay. The displays are excellent t particularly he history of this town’s role in WW II production of wartime ships. Give yourself several hour to watch the various videos at the different displays. Take a tour of the tugboat and go up the tower for a panoramic view of the harbor. A lot of good information on the building of the canal and the role of the local Coast Guard. Many different model

Great history lesson on ships and shipbuilding in Wisconsin. We enjoyed an hour in the Tower Tour and another hour on the Tug Tour. The Tower Tour had a fascinating 11 minute video followed by a ride to the tenth floor of a museum with each floor being a different theme. I didn't know how big of an impact Wisconsin had in the nations ships! Our Tug tour was unique, Larry our docent was full of facts. The stairs are steep, but plenty of handles to hold on to. I recommend spending the $20 per person and doing both tours!

Nice museum, depending on what you are looking for. It was windy the day I went, so the balcony was closed at the top of the tower, so views behind glass were all you could get. Each story below had a little room with info on different things, and there were a few rooms on the main level as well.
The website said tours of the tugboat, but was never mentioned with paid admission. Not sure if it was a separate cost, or you could just go outside to see it.

We are tourists from Kansas visiting the area and we were pleasantly surprised by how much we enjoyed learning about Maritime history at this museum. The museum is well-organized and informative, with exhibits that are laid out in a logical order. We started at the top of the lighthouse tower and worked our way down, with each floor offering a new exhibit. We were so fascinated by all the information that we could have easily spent all day here.
The staff was friendly and knowledgeable. In our opinion, this is one of the best museums we have visited. If you’re a fan of museums, you won’t want to miss this one!

This place is amazing!!! Very clean, organized, and maintained. There is so much to do exploring and it has a neverending learning environment about Maritime ships.
There are ten floors, each one unique to visit. All the floors are accessible by elevator and stairs to find something new and entertaining for all ages. Hands on interactive games and stimulation for a positive learning experience.
A little pricey but it is worth every penny spent. Wheel chair and disability accessible. Very child friendly with many hands on interactive games to explore with the family.
The front desk staff are friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. They took the time to answer any and all questions as needed.
This business is open year round, as the ship tour is only seasonal open in May through the summer months only.
Overall a great time spent here, two thumbs up and you will not be disappointed. Definitely coming back to explore again as there was so much to do and see, not all was done in a day.

Went to share in the swearing in of our daughter into the Coast Guard Reserves. She spent six years serving our country and is now onto her next big adventure rebuilding war birds.
The tower is amazing. You need to watch the video before going up. Take the elevator to the top, enjoy the view, then walk back down and experience each floor. They did an amazing job on each level explaining the history of Door County.
Once you're done with that, roam all the areas on the ground level. Tons of things to see, read, and learn.
It was nice to know that active duty are free and retired military have a discount. Regardless though, it's worth every penny for the entrance fee.
Awesome job to the Maritime Museum!!

What's a fun shop to go to! A nice woman at a grocery store told us about this place when I told her about how I like to do some fun tourist type stuff when I go through different States and she said this was a must stop and she was absolutely correct. The woman inside who helped us with different things was so lovely and even took a few different cheeses to have get cut so I could try a few different cheese instead of buying a large chunk of one cheese. She helped my kids choose what ice cream flavor they want and made the checkout process and everything smooth. The store itself was clean and had lots of fun stuff to look at. We got cheese ice cream, magnets, salt water caffeine, and some small souvenirs as well . It was a great stop and let us feel some of that Wisconsin love!

This was more of a gift soup than a cheese house. Still a great variety of cheeses, sausages, and gifts. Bought a couple coffees, cheeses, and sausages for the road. Excited to try it out. Ice cream was pretty good! I’d recommend the black cherry over the vanilla or vanilla with fudge.

This stop was a last minute idea, but I'm glad we decided to do it. The atmosphere was great, the ladies behind the counter were very friendly, and helpful, and the ladies were so nice, I almost feel like we could have left with a Hug from everyone of them, including the feisty one, if the Rona wasn't going around. The selection of souvenirs, Cheese, Meats, shoes, and miscellaneous stuff you don't need, but can't live without is excellent. So if your in the area passing throug like we were, make sure and stop in and see the ladies, you might just leave with a smile, an ice cream cone, and a trunk full of new stuff you never new you needed, like we did 😁

For this place being a CHEESE shop there wasn’t much cheese. I capitalized cheese because that word was plastered all over the billboards. There was way more Moccasins, tourist clothing & Door County wine funnily enough for it not being Door County. $80 Moccasins, $70 mittens & 2 small coolers of cheese & meats.

Very cute local shop with friendly staff that has souvenirs. I came with a group of 9 people and we all found some nice items for affordable prices. I got a bag of curds, two cool mugs, a tiny hedgehog, a blueberry soap bar, and a nemo fish figurine. The only thing I could really recommend is having some smaller bags of curds. I was hesitant with buying them because it was a big portion and I wasn't sure if I'd like them.
We absolutely love this winery. We love Steve's and Maria's wine so much that we sign up to be members and can't wait every 3 months what delicious wines we will pick up. We always enjoy to sit on a patio and sip some delicious wine. Talk to Steve, Maria or Margaret is always big plus. The vineyard is so pretty and you can walk through.

These people have truly great wine made from grapes grown only in Wisconsin! Some are rather singular and some are more complex.

I brought in a Crow with a broken wing that my local city PD/animal control picked up by the neck with a catch pole and threw in the woods to just let it die by slowly suffering until eaten or starving to death! What happened to the Golden Rule, treat others as you want to be treated? For cops they should always ask themselves "How would I feel if my *fill in the blank* was treated the way I'm treating this *fill in the blank*. If they wouldn't mind their mom treated the same way then they should be able to hold their heads high and know they tried their best! As I was leaving, after turning the bird in I got to see a group of turkeys fighting and all of it was 10 to 15 feet away!

We had our wedding in the event space at the sanctuary and it was perfect. We had access to the nature center which has rooms to get ready in. We had many guests who said they had no idea there was a space there but they told us it was beautiful. It is a good mix of modern and natural elements. We got married in January so we took most pictures inside and there was enough room to do pictures and give our 130 guests space to hang out during our cocktail hour. The grounds were also pretty and had plenty of spaces to take photos outside. The coordinator Billi Jo was incredible. She was so helpful and willing to give recommendations or help wherever we needed. Very flexible when a snowstorm requires us to change plans. They are also flexible when we had a family friend do our catering and do not require them to be licensed. We could also bring our own alcohol which was nice because it saved us a ton of money.

One of the really neat parts was the waterfall walk with the geese and ducks.
The amusement park Bay Beach Amusement Park is perfect for those who are looking for a little fun in the Green Bay area. With rides and attractions such as bumper cars, a Ferris wheel & slides, the amusement park has something for everyone. Located near the mouth of the Fox River, Bay Beach Amusement Park is perfect if you're looking to have some family fun.
Still a great experience after all these years! Free admission, free parking, ride tickets are only twenty-five cents, and all the rides are 4 tickets or less. There are several food shacks, a gift shop, playground, restrooms, shelters, and many different rides. You can ride on two different miniature trains and/or the ferris wheel to take in some spectacular views of the bay.
This is a fantastic place to take your kids for a day of fun! Highly recommended!

There were so many fun rides for the kids. Some of the rides aren't as adult friendly as we wished they would have been, but we enjoyed most of them! Our children aged 5 and 9 enjoyed all the rides they went on! The bathrooms were clean, the playground area is shaded enough to provide some respite from the heat. The food in the Cafe area was very delicious as well! Most rides cost 2 tickets. The huge roller coaster is 4 tickets a person. Our youngest enjoyed the train ride around the grounds. We highly recommend this place for cheap fun with kids.

A very family friendly establishment! I have visited the amusement park and picnic areas too many times to count and each time I have always enjoyed the rides, the atmosphere of the environment, the relatively quick lines, along with the professionalism of the staff ensuring both the safety and entertainment of guests.
Also, at the price of 25¢ per ticket and most of the rides needing about 2-3 tickets is really easy on the wallet for fun family entertainment.
It was very refreshing to see new rides being added to the roster like the Zippin' Pippin', Bay Beast and the 100 ft diameter Big Wheel which I got to ride yesterday. I am glad to be able to have such a magnificent place that has attractions suited for both adults and kids alike.
Hope to visit again soon!

A beautiful amusement park for a relaxing day with family. The park has different rides for kids and family. Ride tickets starting from a ticket to 4 tickets. A ticket costs 25 cents. For a family of 4 , 25$ tickets might be sufficient.
You will have a variety of options for lunch and snacks, if you wish you can bring your own food too.
Overall you can spend a day in the park but if you are short on time then only rides and snacks in the park can take 4 to 5 hours.
There are a few rides closed / under maintenance.
Kids loved zippin pippin , yo yo , boat ride, car ride and some of the ride names i can't remember now :D
There is lots of parking space available, restrooms are available near parking lot D and at the pavilion.

Had a great time at this city run amusement park with our two and six year old kids. Lots of rides for younger kids and a few for tweeners like a roller coaster formerly owned by Elvis. Lines went bad on a sunny Saturday morning.
Parking is free, free admission, and ride tickets are 25 cents each, with each ride bring one to four tickets (most are only one of two for younger kids rides).
Small concession stands with more reasonable prices than any park I've been to in a while. Check it out if you have kids and are visiting Green Bay!

Clean. Friendly. Awesome atmosphere and experience all-around! Great for our group of 7, ranging in age from a fresh 8 to 65. There was fun for all. Pricing was very family friendly from the 25 cent tickets (highest needed was 4 for Zippin Pippin roller coaster) to the snack shacks and gift store. HIGHLY recommend for all ages!

How did I not know this place existed!! Our kids 2,5,and 8. LOVED IT!! They played and enjoyed themselves for 6 hours and at the bargain price of $25.00!! We will definitely be back again!! They have options for younger kids and older ones. Plus a playground and areas to rent for private parties inside and out. Probably the best place ever!

We had an INCREDIBLE day here on our visit to Green Bay! We spent ten bucks to play for hours with our kids. (Our kids are younger; it’d be more expensive for older kids to go on more of the big rides.)
Rides were all in good shape and well staffed.

Lots of rides down when we went, but always a great time. You need to purchase tickets for $.25 each. The rides are anywhere from 1-4 tickets. The average person uses $5-$10 worth.

This was our first time being here and we really enjoyed it! Ticket prices and even the food prices are very reasonable. Some of the rides are not as adult friendly but even so we were able to find plenty to do. The Ferris wheel offers great views of the bay! We ran out of time before we ran out of tickets so it's nice that tickets can be saved for future visits!

Must visit if you are in Green Bay or planning to make a trip in door county.
Beat part is how cheap are the rides. There were almost 8-10 for rides for kids and adults together and 6-8 rides for small kids and we as a family of 3 finished all in 15 dollars.
You can imagine how cheap it is. We almost spent 5 hours there. Beautiful location just next to bay beach . Beautiful weather.
We visited on Friday and it was crowded.

Elvis can't be wrong. Old time charm and a ton of fun for a small price. No entrance fee - 25¢ tickets and no ride takes more than 4 tickets. One wooden coaster, swings ferris wheel, number cars... Perfect place to bring the kids or just have fun with your wife. Sitting in the old time coaster seats makes you realize how we have changed in the past couple generations, right squeeze. Right on the bay. Every city should have one of these.

Such a great place for families with littles! Many rides for kids UNDER 42-50inches. Concessions were great and the hot Bavarian pretzels were amazing! Good pricing! CASH ONLY FOR FOOD. Not too expensive! Tickets for rides are .25 cents and most kiddie/family rides are 1-2 tickets per rider. Real bathrooms available. They take debit/credit to purchase tickets. Such a fun place!

A great park for families to gather! There is no entry fee you only pay per ride and the most expensive ride is $1! The rides were great. What a treasure for Green Bay families. Plenty of parking! Elvis’ roller coaster was a nice rush of adrenaline.
The Green Bay Packers Hall of Fame & Museum is a tribute to some of the team's most famous players, and it has exhibits devoted to their history. The museum also has interactive exhibits that are designed to be accessible by everyone.
I visited with my family and it was entertaining and informative. This museum is clean and well organized. I highly recommend it. If you're visiting Green Bay, Wisconsin this is a must go place. I'm conclusion, I really loved this placed, to learn about it's history and unparalleled players, coaches and it's people.

This is a great experience. If you don't have small children with you, I recommend the full Legendary Tour + Hall of Fame. It's $50, but the tour is almost two hours and the Hall of Fame will take at least another hour. You get to see everything (except the locker room and player areas) this way. Going up on the roof and through the tunnel onto the field are pretty cool experiences. We did the 3pm tour, so by the time we got to the Hall of Fame, we were the only ones there. It was pretty sweet to have the whole place to ourselves. If you're a Packer lover, make sure to check out this tour!

I'm not a Packers fan but you can't help but marvel at something so cool. We stopped after a 30 minute drive from Appleton. Came to have lunch at 1919 Kitchen & Tap and wanted to just check things out. Great stadium, great experience and really cool to see. Wasn't too hungry so had some apps as a meal. Chicken tenders, Mac and cheese , fancy deviled eggs. The other gents with me had burgers and soup. Everything was delicious. Definitely be back if in the area.

The hall of fame and field tour was wonderful! What an awesome facility with amazing history. When touring, you get a sense of tremendous pride, and an organization that respects its past while still working towards the future. Even if you are not a football fan, the nostalgia, attention to detail, and uniqueness are truly engaging. I really enjoyed my time here.

This museum was very informative. Giving me a greater understanding of just how hard it is to create such history. To be a successful team, owned by their fans. It was very well put together. The displays were just so informative.
I think the only concern I had was the level of comfort they had in letting people in with limited security.
Otherwise, such history here. The tour was really nice, and the game was pretty chilly.
I have to say, the one thing I was truly impressed with is the hospitality here. People were genuinely friendly. Took a couple of photos with your great fans, even though I was sporting another team.
Thank you, Green Bay!

While attending my first game I had the pleasure of attending the Packers Hall of Game. As biased as any fan would be, I'd like to be very as critical and unbiased as possible for this review. There is great information here from of all the greats with amazing time capsule displays and information. The flow of traffic is odd and not as streamlined at best. I felt that some of the newer displays were too reliant on walls with facts printed on them but are offset by the amazing set pieces like the livingroom evolution display and the ceiling bicycles. It's very fairly priced and very accessible. You can spend anywhere from 20 minutes to 4 hours depending on how much Packer history you want to soak in. I highly recommend the hall of fame even if you must power through it at the last minute with limited time but I Highly recommend Purchasing your tickets in advanced and planning for it! Go Pack Go!

Our Legendary Lambeau tour tickets came with admission to the Packers Hall of Fame and the stadium tour, so we checked those out first. The Hall of Fame & Museum are very well done! The franchise has a fascinating history and is one of the oldest teams in the NFL. It’s so interesting to learn how the team began, how Lambeau Field came to be, about the legends that used to play and coach there, and how the Super Bowl Trophy got named after a Packers head coach. If you love history or football (or both!), you will be very impressed by this museum!

Hands down, the Best NFL museum and attraction dedicated to one team franchise. A bucket list "must see" for any sports fan, particularly Pro Football. This place oozes history, tradition, and a commitment to excellence. So many displays you are almost overwhelmed. Outstanding full floor Gift shop. Restaurant 1919, also in the atrium. If you get to Green Bay, you must visit and be prepared to regret it. Only the Canton Pro Football Hall of Fame can match this towering edifice.

Had a great time on our Cub Scout outing to the HOF and Lambeau Tour. Hosts had so much knowledge and a way to bring you back in time. One of the guys would get all of the kids fired up like pregame coming out of the tunnel. View from the top of the stadium was very cool.

Five star review from a couple of non-sports fan.
There is something here for everyone - not the least of which is some awesome history.
A very well done and interesting history museum even if you've never picked up a football.
There are many different ticket options - the basic tour was perfect for us.
Lambeau Field is a legendary stadium home to the iconic Green Bay Packers. It features a fan shop, hall of fame, and restaurants that are open year-round. The stadium is consistently ranked as one of the best fan experiences in the NFL, and is always packed on game day.
I am absolutely crazy about Lambeau Field. I've been to 3 Packers game, and every single time it's an amazing experience. Me and the family drove from NY to Wisconsin, and it was worth the 15 plus hour drive. There are no fans like Packers fans. The energy and the overall experience is like no other feeling, and I've been to a Super Bowl and that wasn't even as amazing as being in Lambeau watching the Packers play. It's clean, the parking is good, the tailgating is so much fun, and the overall energy is one of a kind. I cannot wait to come back again.

What an awesome place. We did the tour of the field at night. So calm and peaceful. The guide was very nice and gave us a lot of really cool info about the history of Lambeau Field. Went to a game the next day and was very pleased with every aspect. Food was great, lines went fast, all the spectators were very kind and fun to be with. Sadly GB lost… but it was still just a spectacular experience.

Great overall experience. The area is built up around the stadium so there is plenty to do before the game. In the winter they had a tubing hill and ice skating rink. Plenty of food and bar options. Inside we sat in the club level. I never had to wait for the bathroom or for food/drink. Concessions are all grab and go like a self service checkout. Really liked that feature.

I usually make it to a game every year and this year we decided to visit after football season. All I can say is well we are so lucky to have such a historic and beautiful stadium such as Lambeau Field. This is a bucket list visit and if you're you haven't made it here before you really need me to try and get here. Make sure to take the legendary tour and visit the Hall of Fame. You won't be disappointed. Even if you're not a Packers fan.

Attended a December game a couple years back. I was absolutely dreading the cold, however it ended up being pretty warm even with rain. I am not a packers fan, however I loved the atmosphere. The Packer fans we were surrounded by were a lot of fun. I love the surrounding town and how supportive the people who live there are of their local football team

I'm not really a football fan but my brother is and I had always heard about Lambeau Field so I went to take some pictures for him. So strange that it's just in the middle of a neighborhood. I can't even imagine the chaos on game day, but I suspect it is a lot of fun.

I'm a Bears fan, but have to admit Lambeau Field is awesome. Love they kept it original and added in stages no altering the old. Sat in row 13 on Packers side, very cool to see players close up. Also, people working there and the fans are super nice. Certainly nicer than Soldier Field, and I know I won't get jumped parking in the streets of Green Bay. Just a great experience, but still bleed blue and orange.

Holy Cow! What a beauty! Our first visit and it was Amazing! Although there wasn’t a game going on. The stadium is open to anyone who wants to visit. There are stadium tours that take place every so often each day. The Fan Shop is Awesome! Any Packers fan would go nuts!
We enjoyed our visit, restaurants are open inside the stadium on the first floor. Great service, friendly staff all around.

It was finally time for us to go on the Legendary Lambeau tour, and we couldn’t have been more excited! Lambeau Field is an iconic destination in itself–even when there’s not a game going on! People come from all over the world to see this amazing stadium and learn about Packer history. The tour is over two hours long and a mile and a half of walking–and in our opinion, it is worth every minute and step! Our tour guides Pat and Rick were great and took us all over the stadium. You get to see some luxury suites, go up to the rooftop, sit in the end zone club seats, visit the press box, enter the visiting team’s locker room, and run through the players tunnel onto the side lines. It was so impressive and really incredible to see all the angles and seats we might never be able to experience on game day. And don’t get me wrong, there is no such thing as a bad seat at Lambeau…we just learned that some are way more luxurious than others! I highly recommend this tour; add it to your bucket list!

I've lived in Wisconsin the majority of my life and the 1/2/22 game was my first time here. (I know). It's a beautiful and huge stadium that was relatively easy to navigate. There is a good food and drink selection and all od the vendors are very friendly. I would definitely go again

Crazy cool place. I'm from Michigan but have visited twice. Most recently, I had the opportunity to go on a tour of the Atrium and learn about all the history of the Packers, see the suites above the field, and even walk out through the tunnel that the players come out of. The tour guide did a phenomenal job! My favorite fun fact that I learned was that this field is the last to have all aluminum seats. This is because they are all sold out to seat holders, and have been since 1960; If they made the seats more comfortable, they'd lose about 10,000 of them, and 10,000 people would lose their bought out seats. Very fun!

Attended an excursion with Viking Great Lakes Expeditions on the Polaris Ship. Lambeau is a wonderful place to visit. The tour was all inclusive even taking us through the tunnel the Packers entet the stadium. We went out to field level. Up to the suite levels and the Hall of Fame. The atrium section does have a restaurant and concessions as well as yhe pro shop.

Incredible stadium and always a great time. Such a historic team and facility. Highly recommend taking the tour and seeing the Hall of Fame. No matter where you're seated you get a great view. Parking is expensive in the stadium lot for game day so you either park a mile away or you pay to park on someone's lawn. If you're coming on a game day, plan on getting at least an hour and half early due to traffic.

Where do I start?
This was my first time at Lambeau and it was everything I expected.. Had a great time from taking a night tour to seeing the Packers live in action against the Saints week 3.. I’ve seen the Packers play 4 times on the road in different cities and they’ve lost each time, so I said I think I have to visit Lambeau to see them get a win and I did just that.. Couldn’t have ask for a better game to see in the Jordan Love era..#GOPACKGO 🧀
P.S. We had one the best tour guides

2023 Week 15 Packers vs. Buccaneers. This was my first live NFL game! Lambeau and the people of Green Bay made this experience one to remember. I came for the history of the stadium and I was in awe the whole time I was in that building for the tour, and on Game Day. The tailgate party outside was amazing. The people of Green Bay may bleed green and gold. Yet they are the friendliest, and most welcoming, bunch of people that I have ever met. Even if I did come to cheer for the other team. Where else can you say that you’ve met/talked/drank with an owner of the home team? I will definitely be back.

This was a nice outing we had to Lambeau Field. I was hoping it wouldn't be too cold for me, but I went prepared and snugged. We drove from Racine, WI, about 2 hours. Since I was with my husband, the ride went by super quick. They have the championship rings with the dates on them, and you can stand in the middle of the ring for a perfect photo, which we took plenty of them of this place to add to our vacation memories. We also got a cheese head hat for my sister-in-law. There was an ice skating arena, which was busy but not crowded, and they had a restroom for guest nearby the I've arena. There were other things around which I didn't take photos of, but if you are looking to go visit this place, do look up information on it so you won't miss out.

I went on the stadium tour while they were re-seeding the grass. I also went through the Hall of Fame, and looked through the pro shop.

Lambeau had been on the top of my bucket list of NFL stadiums. I was there once in the off-season, and I got to see the Packers play (and win, duh) in Philadelphia. But I wanted the Lambeau experience. I finally got it when tickets were cheap in the beginning of the '22 season for week' 18. I grabbed them. It ended up being the game vs. Detroit which was the "win & in" game. Tickets ended up skyrocketing, and luckily I had an extra one to sell! The Packers unfortunately did lose that game, but I got to see Aaron Rodgers' final game in Green & Gold!
The Lambeau experience did not disappoint! After a nice in-car "tailgate" of a schnitzel sammich and fries, it was time to bundle up well for the Green Bay December night. It was FREEZING, though it was probably only in the mid 20s. The energy in the stadium was something I'd never seen before as the fans were lively the entire game!
I definitely want to come back!

Discover a hidden treasure in Manitowoc, Wisconsin at the Manitowoc County Historical Society/Pinecrest Historical Village.

Came here with my 4 year old and we had a wonderful day. This place is perfect for this age, she lived exploring the buildings. I live how there are little things for you to open, explore, and touch- like the bonnets in the school house. Weren't sure what to expect with co-vid but it was pleasantly quiet. Everything was open except a few buildings undergoing renovations. The blacksmiths (who are there currently only there Thursdays) made my daughter a tiny sword that she loved and she got a tattoo from the lady working the welcome building.

What more can be said about this iconic legend of a place for sports car racing? OK, here it goes....... Paddock area is decent sized for rig maneuvering and has limited capacity shore power. Garages are minimal but adequate. Toilet facilities are all well kept and clean. Views are available from a variety of undulating hill sides. Track surface is in good shape providing an environment for safe competitive racing. Track layout is obviously a classic and continues to challenge the best drivers with the best equipment. Food options are available on site depending on the event and the day.

I've been to a lot of race tracks but this will always be my favorite 🖤 not only is the track amazing but the whole venue is great! Spectators can watch from basically anywhere, the only down side might be for people who don't walk or get around well, but they do have golf cart rentals. On non big event weekends you can just drive to most corners to watch but on big event weekends you can not. The food stands and paddock shop are also great!

Love Road America. This was our second year driving up from Indy to go to the INDYCAR race and will definitely not be our last. The track is amazing and I love how you can see so many different angles on the racing with just a short bike ride. We did upgrade to electric bikes this year which made it way easier to get around as there is a lot of elevation change inside the track. If you’re looking for the best road course in America this is the place!

Pulling in this weekend to watch my daughter race at the karting track had me very nostalgic. This facility is top-notch. It's not all about racing, though. They have cruises around the rack, runs on the track, tons of trails, and the list seems endless. Highly highly recommend. If you aren't into racing, still take a drive through. I bet you'll find a nook or cranny that you fall in love with.

We have been here on 3 occasions as participants and spectators. Every time the staff has been courteous and the facilities are well maintained.
Be sure to grab a corn on the cob with Cajun pepper!

Loved it! Easy parking right across the street, great seats no matter where you sit, workers were friendly & helpful, line for drinks & bathroom at intermission moved quickly, prices reasonable. Had a great time. Can't wait to come back!

Went to see the original rock band Chicago concert and guys gave an outstanding show. It was Fantastic! But the acoustics in The Fox Cities Performing Arts Center were absolutely horrible. We were in the Dress Balcony and had great seats but like I said, the acoustics were so bad that I will NOT go to another concert at the PAC.

Amazing show and amazing staff! Never waited in a line for drinks for more than 5 minutes and the prices were better than concerts. Had an absolutely amazing time

We had a great time at Cats. Wonderfully done. Such extensive stage production. The actors were talented but it is clear that stage management is just as talented. I really enjoyed our view from the second level balcony. We ordered drinks through the app to be ready for pick up at intermission. That worked out really well.

It was a wonderful experience! Easy to park with a ramp located right next to the center and clear and concise instructions from the event itself, we spend the evening with the wonderful Cary Elwes who after watching the entirely of the film The Princess Bride, regaled us with stories of its making showing just how much it was a passion project! The facilities were clean and well looked after, the art deco styling of the theater itself was immaculate and the view was incredible even from the very top row, all in all I would love to take another trip and see another event at the Fox Cities Performing Arts Center!

I have seen some amazing Broadway shows in this hall, and I have never had a bad seat. I have been back stage with students performing or attending a class here, and everyone is very helpful. It's a treasure foe the community.

Saw Hamilton here for the first time. I was very impressed with the performance, although the seating was a little uncomfortable. Also drinks are on par with any venue so bring some extra cash.

Event itself that we went to was great. However, the facility itself was a little under prepared clearly. They opened doors late and had multiple problems with their projector. The CEO also injected herself into performance, which was a bit disappointing as she was not a very good interviewer during the QA section. Despite all that the staff was helpful and it is a nice place overall. l

Beautiful place, very well organized admission, drop off & parking process, friendly ushers, very clean and upscale prices. We went to see "Clue" . Unfortunately, we and those around us had trouble hearing at times and understanding the conversations. We sat in the Orchestra rows under the balcony. It was quite disappointing, especially considering the price of the tickets. In comparison, we had recently seen "Anastasia" at Appleton North and had no trouble hearing clearly. Their sound system was phenomenal. Their performance was also phenomenal.

Pros.. beautiful facility, good production. Saw Les Miserables. A little tough understanding the lyrics, but a great job on everything in general.
Cons...... You have to pay 10 to $20 for parking unless you want to walk a half a mile. They don't have enough bartenders to get you a drink quickly enough. The second you get your drink, they announce it's time to go back in. But for next to $3 they will sell you a sippy cups so you can bring your a drink in the theater. What a racket!

First time at this venue, & the Killer Queen Experience was an incredibly amazing show!
Only negative was the endlessly long rows of seating (we were directly in the middle, front row, 1st balcony section). It was a long way to inch through the multitude of people seated to get to our spots. Once there, we didn't dare try to get out, so we were stuck for the duration, unable to leave for a drink or bathroom break. Very clastrophobic feeling. Never again, would I purchase tickets in similar seats. A break in the middle area for access out would make show-goers much safer & more comfortable.

I like this theatre. I've seen Wicked, Ain't Too Proud to Beg, and Tina Turner the Musical there. The concession stand prices are reasonable in comparison to some other places I've been to.
You do need to buy a $3 plastic lidded cup if you want a beverage while watching the performance. However, you can bring it back for future performances and not have to pay the $3 again.

Note to self - the nosebleed seats are not for anyone that might need to have any leg space for over 2 hours. If a bathroom is what you need, there isn't one on the 4th floor. It will save you the hassle of looking for half the intermission. The refill discount drink service you can opt in for is them preparing the drink before intermission and leaving it out on a table without an attendant expecting you to know that it's there. This will save you the other half of intermission not waiting in line to pick up the refill.
Maybe knowing what to expect can help your first experience here. The show was great easy in and out at the door and the parking garage was not too much of a nightmare. They also offer valet for $20.

Amazing theater. They have high quality productions there and the prices are sort of steep, but you tend to get what you pay for and not much different than going to a Packer game in terms of cost and entertainment value.
Hearthstone Historic House Museum is a 19th-century residence that used to be powered by hydroelectricity. Visitors can enjoy guided tours and exhibits at the museum after ringing the bell and paying $10 per person. The tour lasts around two hours and includes a guide who takes visitors through each room, showcasing beautiful woodwork throughout the house. At the end of the tour, visitors are allowed to roam in the basement for some hands-on activities.
We had an amazing time at the murder mystery event! The staff was excellent! The participants played their parts beautifully! Heavy

You have to ring the bell and someone will let you in. $10 ea person. You are given a tour guide who takes you thru each room. Lasts about 2 hrs, at the end you are allowed to roam in the basement to check out some hands on activities. Was disappointed the third floor and servants stair ways were closed off to the public, but still worth your time if you love history and what beautiful woodwork throughout the house.

This is a gem of a museum. My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed seeing the historic architecture and learning about the history of this home. The docins were super knowledgeable and the basement area was a blast to explore. The original woodwork and furnishings are incredible. It was our first visit, but apparently they are constantly changing the theme and hosting special tours so we can't wait to go back and learn more!

My husband and I stopped in for a tour and WOW - this surpassed all of my expectations. I love history, especially old buildings and homes, and this was one of the coolest things I’ve seen. The gentleman who gave us the guide, George, was incredible. He is so knowledgeable and passionate about this home and all the history connected to it. I learned more in this one hour tour than I ever could have expected. George made me feel genuine excitement moving from room to room in that home. I plan to go back around the holidays to experience the old-time Christmas feel surrounded by the decorations enveloping that historical home. Truly makes you feel like you’ve gone back to a place frozen in time. Take this tour and support this museum! Thank you especially to George for the truly impressive tour!

I love touring old estates. Our tour guide was very informative and answered our many questions. This mansion has been meticulously restored.

Definitely recommend during the holiday season. The decorations were beautiful. This year's theme, The 12 Days of Christmas, was fun because we tried to spot all the items from the song that were in each room. It was clear the museum staff was passionate about the home's history.
Be aware that this is not a place for young children, and is not handicap accessible.

Kris did an AMAZING job giving us our tour. She spent about 1.5 hours with us & we thoroughly enjoyed it. I brought my 2 younger brothers (ages 13 & 16) & they LOVED it. It was a beautiful tribute to history & we all learned a lot. I highly recommend the tour to people of all ages! 😊

Loved the visit to the Hearthstone museum, worth every minute I spent there! The decorations - Victorian style Christmas - amazing and I want to point out all the volunteers, who helped to make the experience even better. Would like to visit again - for a tour of the house during non Christmas time!
P.S. I just thought I would add the photo of a doll that was in front of the Christmas tree downstairs)))

Super detailed, fascinating tour.
Absolutely beautiful museum. Still in the process of being restored, so don't be shy about letting them keep the change after you pay the $8 entry fee.
Staff is all volunteer, and their live and respect for history is glowingly obvious. At least 1 of the volunteers is from one of the families who owned and lived in the house.
The community's appreciation for the foundation's work to save the house is also evident; almost none if the furnishings are original to the house. All of the incredibly valuable filler pieces were either donated or sold to them at below cost.
Truly a magnificent way to spend a few hours!

Beautiful home with fantastic craftsmanship. We spent about an hour on the tour with one of the sons that used to live there.
It's awesome that a home in Wisconsin was the first to be powered by electricity, have central heat, and indoor plumbing in the entire country.
Worth a visit to learn a little history (like why people say "turn" on the lights), and see some really great architecture.
We recommend it!
What a beautiful day to be out at the Farmer. Kudos to everyone for organizing things so well. Moving some of the lines for things outside the entrance is genius. If you haven't been out to Little Farmer hurry up!

We absolutely love going here. My daughter saw that Little Farmer opened up for the season today so we had to go. Was not busy at all when we went which was enjoyable in itself. It's very beautiful right now with all of flowers. The caramel apples are by far the best around! Plenty of parking and so many fun things for the kiddos to do and adults too! In fall they have apple picking and pumpkins. A very nice area for kids to play. Porta potties and hand washing stations as well as hand sanitizer. Friendly staff overall. Cute gifts for purchase. I HIGHLY recommend going here!

My first time here was last year with my bf duringpeak season. My most recent time was today with my kids. The carmel apples & bakery are beyond delicious & my kids enjoyed exploring the treasures in the farmhouse. This little gem is definitely making the list of favorites. Just a little FYI the hayrides are on weekends only.

Great way to spend a day. Nice play area. Caramel apples are delicious. Tractor rides are worth it. We've been going yearly for 12 years. Too busy on weekends for us though. Mid week early in the day is the best time if you can get there.

For as far back as my memory stretches, our visits to Little Farmer have been a cherished tradition. Just recently, we brought our children there to mark the commencement of the school year, and it turned out to be an exceptional experience. We timed it just right, avoiding the bustling crowds and the extremes of cold or heat. The atmosphere was pleasantly moderate. The best part was that the place wasn't overly crowded, allowing us to indulge in extended playtime according to the kids' wishes.
Following our enjoyable time, we made our way to the caramel apples stand - a staple treat that never disappoints. The apples were generously coated in delectable caramel, a true delight. Naturally, we couldn't resist picking up an apple pie and an assortment of baked goods to take home. Anticipation for our next visit is already building up!

We visit Little Farmer almost every year. My 9 y/o son loves the play area. That kept him busy for a few hours today. The racing area where they have the pedal go kart like bikes is his favorite.
Hayride operator today was very friendly. Ride lasts about 15 minutes. Tickets are same price for every age- $5 per person.
Something to be improved on would be the process of getting carmel apples. I've never been there and seen it run the way it was running today. One young kid taking your orders on a piece of paper, then get in line to pay. Then go stand while some very young teens run in and out with orders. People couldn't hear names being called because crowd size waiting/talking and kids were not speaking up. Another guy in line mentioned how he didn't understand why it was being done so inefficiently when how it was done in the past was so much more seamless. Carmel apples with toppings are fairly priced and worth the wait!
We plan to make the half hour drive to visit a few more times this year!

Me & My mother went here today and we were both impressed. Recommended via an acquaintance but it was so cute. We got some really great apples, caramel & infamous honey sticks! Also enjoyed a homemade pumpkin muffin and OMG 🤤🤗 Definitely worth stopping!
All you would want to know about cheese is here. I would recommend you coming here to get all your cheese curds that your heart desires. Their prices are relatively on the high side but it is worth it. This is the second time coming here and I like coming here to get different types of cheeses. They also have lots of cheese that you can buy in a pound half pound or whatever you would like. 👍👍👍👍🧀🧀🧀🧀

Would be worth 4 stars if they had a cheese tasting. Out of cheese heads also. Prices are a bit high. They do have a great selection of cheeses though. I spent about 60 bucks and got a decent verity.

This place was superb, I don't give 5-star reviews unless the place goes above and beyond expectations and is excellent. We were welcomed upon entrance, the place was clean and everything was labeled with prices. This chalet felt like an east coast Wegman's. Staff was more than willing to help. My wife got a specialty cheese while there. We also got some Wisconsin cheese curds. The cow at front is a cool attraction for the kids too. Only wish we had bought some more cowtails.

Huge selection of unique cheese. I wish they had tasting going on, but it seems like that’s on hold because of COVID-19. The one cheese I did buy was excellent however. Very unique little shop. Easily accessible from the highway, so it makes for a great place to stop in.

So glad we did. Bright and open store with a lot of varieties of sausages, jam, local wines; and, of course, cheese.
There isn't tasting available due to the pandemic but the ones I chose just by title are excellent.
My favorite...Buffalo.

It's not a trip through Wisconsin without stopping by a cheese chalet, and this is one of the best I've been to. They have a lot of great options available including cheese, meat, fudge, and other treats. They even have plenty of merch for purchase as well.

Feels elite. Not a very welcoming staff but they weren't rude or anything. The shop just feels pristine...idk how to describe it. Not homey?? Their selections of cheese were very extensive, and they offered samples. Nice selection of meats. Prices are very high compared to the other cheese shops in the area. Because we spent over $100, we got two free cheese spreads of their choice of which I wasn't excited about. If I get free cheese, then let me pick my flavors. Otherwise, I waste the offer of getting free cheese or throwing it out by taking the offer and then not eating it all at home.
