What to do and see in Wisconsin, United States: The Best Auto Race Tracks

August 27, 2021 Margarita Chappel

When you think “adventure travel” you probably think of far-flung places like Belize and Alaska—not Wisconsin. But if you’re an outdoor adventurer, you’ll find plenty of places to explore in Wisconsin. A vacation in Wisconsin can put you close to the Kettle Moraine State Forest, which has excellent biking trails. Or choose Wisconsin’s Apostle Islands—kayakers will love exploring Lake Superior’s many caves and shipwrecks.

Packers fans don’t wear those cheese-wedge hats for nothing! Foodies will love tasting as many of Wisconsin’s artisanal cheeses as possible. Either drive from cheesemaker to cheesemaker, or choose a Wisconsin vacation in a town with a good farmers’ market—then the cheesemakers bring their wares to you. And what goes better with artisanal cheese than craft beer? In Milwaukee, visit the Lakefront and Sprecher Breweries for tours and tastings.

Wisconsin Dells is a classic family vacation destination. A vacation in Wisconsin Dells will put you close to all the excitement—you’ll have to tear the kids away from the theme parks, wave pools and water parks in Wisconsin Dells!

Lake Geneva boasts clean beaches, golf, and a small-town feel that definitely appeals to city dwellers—it’s a popular getaway for residents of Chicago.

One note before I get into the substantive review. Check your cellular service coverage in the area. We had T-Mobile and service was abysmal to non-existent - anywhere at the track or in Sheboygan where we stayed. This track is a great place for motorsports fans. The level of access you have to the track, the teams, and the cars is really unparalleled. Even during COVID with the paddock closed off, you could still get really close to the cars. There are great viewing spots all along the track and we took some great shots at the Carousel and Canada Corner. I recommend bringing bikes or renting a golf cart if you are there for the full weekend and you plan on moving around. The track is a large area to cover on foot. You have to reserve carts early because the sell out. There are also some decent elevation changes that you might not expect looking at track maps etc. Also bring ear plugs (especially for kids) because cars are loud when you get up close. We had a great experience even with rain on Sunday. I’m sure attendance was light because of the pandemic, but we’ll be back again for sure. Finally a shout out to Badger Bimmers for hosting a BMW Car Corral so we had a place to call home during the weekend and a place to shelter from the rain.
