The 10 Best Things to Do in Green Bay, United States

August 14, 2017 Dorsey Hagwood

Green Bay, Wisconsin, is home to the Cheeseheads, fans of the Green Bay Packers, a NFL team so successful that Green Bay has nicknamed itself "Titletown, USA." There is more to Green Bay than just exciting football and delicious dairy products, however. There are beautifully manicured rows of flowers at the Green Bay Botanical Garden, and hiking paths and a natural history museum at the Cofrin Center for Biodiversity. Visit the historic collection of train cars at the National Railroad Museum.

Something for everyone, whether a Packer fan or not. Great history of the team in the Packer Hall of Fame. And make sure you take the tour of the stadium if weather permits. Quite the experience! We've done the tour, and the Hall of Fame. And this past January had the opportunity to see a game. Nothing like it....a "to do" for sure on a Packer Fan's bucket list.

I was there on 11/25/17 with family to see the light show. The little one (1 1/2 year old) really enjoyed it. It was very pretty and it might be nice to see the gardens in the daylight during warmer weather.

Green Bay Packer Hall of Fame

Reviewed By Julie H - Kaukauna, Wisconsin, USA

We went here for our company Christmas party and everyone had a great time, even the non-football fans. The flow of the displays keeps you interested and there are so many interactive areas where you can feel the excitement of the game and the fans. I have been here more than once and always find something new to discover.

Bay Beach Amusement Park

The retro charm of Bay Beach includes old-fashioned prices: rides are only 20 cents each.

Reviewed By Don055 - Green Bay, Wisconsin

This is a very family-friendly destination, where kids can have plenty of fun on a variety of rides, without wearing out mom & dad with super-long lines, or tons of money for the day. Little ones, say under 6, will really find it incredible, while those up to 10 still have a blast, and the "big kids" will like the newer attractions like the Z.P....

Bay Beach Wildlife Sanctuary

A 700-acre wildlife refuge that features trails, as well as educational and live animal exhibits.

Reviewed By stoogeg3 - Suamico, Wisconsin

This sanctuary is a wonderful place to visit even if you don't have children. They feature very educational displays about animals, insects, flowers, animal tracks and environmental surroundings. There is a cute slide that the kids love to slide down! Even a few adults! There is an educational gift shop and outside there is a walkway to a bridge where you will see varieties of ducks and Canadian geese. After you cross the bridge there is another center that features birds of prey as well as varieties of owls. There are many hiking trails and picnic areas. Parking is adequate.

National Railroad Museum

Reviewed By Linda B

It's after all the National Train Museum. Rather small for that distinction. They have a lot of trains and some are refurbished. Those are fun to walk through. Others are outside and you can walk through them, but it's claustrophobic and I kept waiting for something to crawl out of the seating. (perfect mouse nest material) The train ride was just in a small circle on the grounds and was probably cool for a little kid, but for adult left something to be desired. My husband was disappointed too. Once there is enough. They do a lot with their funding being donations, but the name creates higher expectations.

Reviewed By PackerGirl1952 - Speedway, Indiana

As "seniors" (only in our 60's), we received a discount which made this a good deal. It was a cute zoo, decorated for Halloween. We got to see a number of animals and they seemed active and interested in seeing us as well. It was a great way to spend an hour to an hour and a half.

How refreshing to see an old, historic building saved instead of being demolished. The theater opened on Valentine's Day 1930 and still has the original organ! You can spend so much time just staring around and appreciating the grandeur of this old theater. Seats are comfortable and sound perfect.

I was really impressed with this museum when I visited. There is so much to see and so much to learn about. I espcially loved the beaver hut where you could see how beavers live from down under. Everything was great and fun on a hot day.

Heritage Hill State Historical Park

Reviewed By 380stanleyc - Lansing; MI

We came out for the day not realizing it was a special day when volunteers were doing a Civil War reenactment. But that made the day extra special. We fully enjoyed the day. The historical buildings were great, but the soldiers camping out all over, the court martial, the reenactment, and the tram were all great benefits. Such a cool place. I don't know how this place is on a regular day, but on the day we went, by pure luck, it was fabulous.
