16 Top Attractions in Door County
A long-time vacation destination for many Midwesterners, Wisconsin's Door County peninsula offers a wealth of activities for all ages and interests.
Door County's performing arts
The arts scene in Door County has nurtured a variety of performing artists. Nestled in the woods at Peninsula State Park, the 750-seat, open-air American Folklore Theatre (left) has an idyllic setting for its feel-good, humorous musicals about Midwest history and culture.

The Peninsula Players Theatre, the country's oldest professional resident summer theater, offers plays in another lovely setting overlooking the waters of Green Bay, with outdoor tables, a bar and a giant bonfire at intermission. (920) 868-3287; peninsulaplayers.com
For music, look to Birch Creek Music Performance Center, a summer music school for advanced young musicians ages 13-19. By day they're taught by nationally recognized performance artists and educators; by night students and teachers perform at public concerts. Though Birch Creek musicians perform throughout Door County, try to attend a concert on the campus, an old dairy farm with a beautiful new rehearsal hall and renovated "concert barn."
