12 Family-Favorite Wisconsin Destinations
Wisconsin's cities, lakes and rivers, and small towns draw families eager to explore the state's beaches, museums, wildlife parks and other kid-friendly attractions.
Green Bay
A premier family attraction here is the National Railroad Museum (920/437-7623; nationalrrmuseum.org). One of the nation's largest rail museums, it houses everything from decorative train drumheads to a massive Big Boy steam locomotive -- and yes, you can take a train ride.
Start your visit with the 25-minute movie on steam locomotives. Then explore indoor and outdoor exhibits that include a futuristic Aerotrain from the 1950s.
Sports fans will enjoy a trip to Lambeau Field, which offers behind-the-scenes tours all year long, plus photo ops with a bronze statue of legendary coach Vince Lombardi (920/569-7500; lambeaufield.com). If you just want a place for the kids to stretch their legs, head to Green Bay Botanical Garden, where 47 acres of quiet beauty are worth exploring year-round (877/355-4224; www.gbbg.org).
