Things to do in Green Bay, Wisconsin (WI): The Best Nature & Parks

November 1, 2021 Brain Ambrose

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.

Bay Beach Wildlife Sanctuary

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

Reviewed By 577juliaj - Green Bay, United States

The Wildlife Sanctuary is the best gem in Green Bay. With free entry, anyone is able to come and enjoy the well kept grounds and visit the animals. I love everything that the Wildlife Sanctuary stands for, with taking in injured animals and rehabilitating them. I've been visiting since I was a young girl, and still visit now with my husband. Fun for all ages!

Reviewed By RoseCierra - Taylor, United States

Very nice, clean zoo. Enjoyed walking through and seeing a different variety of animals. The biggest attraction was by far the Giraffes. Being able to feed them was so cool! Very cheap too! Only $1 dollar for 2 pieces of lettuce. I had never been so close to a giraffe before and being able to touch them and feed them was a great surprise! Lots of variety of animals! Penguins, Bear, Pelicans, Leopard, Lions, and more! Also really enjoyed the petting zoo. The goats were so funny and friendly. Loved being able to feed them. Was a little disappointed in the Reptile area because of how small, but still enjoyed. Loved the art made out of caps on the wall. Also had a very nice gift shop that you first walk into. Lots of things to choose from. The zipline and rope courses were not open when I was there, but they looked like a lot of fun. I would really recommend this Zoo. It wasn't so huge that you didn't have enough time to see and enjoy everything, but also isn't super small either so it was perfect. Little kids, older kids, and adults will all enjoy this zoo!

Titletown

Reviewed By Wismickchick - Kenosha, United States

Titletown is right across the street from Lambeau Field. They have all sorts of outdoor games as you walk around towards the front (horseshoes, cornhole, ping pong, bocce, shuffleboard, etc). Then towards the back it has a huge playground for all ages, including an obstacle course-type playground. It has a 40 yard dash that is timed and a full sized football field with equipment and balls that can be borrowed and used. It's so much fun for kids!! On top of Ariens hill they have an amazing view of the surrounding area and a small bar so you can enjoy a drink with a view! The bartender was great and told us that it's amazing in winter as well with a sledding hill and ice skating rink. We had lunch at the brewery there, which was great! Amazing day! Our entire family loved Titletown!
