What to do and see in Wisconsin, United States: The Best Neighborhoods
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.

Mke's Third Ward is an urban gem of a small neighborhood of hundreds of businesses and residents just south of downtown. Most buildings are historic lofts and warehouses turned into trendy condos, specialty shops, galleries, restaurants, and performance spaces in a safe small community of varying ages. It's bordered by the raised I-794 on the north, the world famous Summerfest music festival grounds and Lake Michigan on the east, and the Milwaukee River and its award-winning Riverwalk on the south and west. Artsy locals include the Milwaukee Institute of Art & Design and the renowned Broadway Theatre Center. Casual to fine libations and dining abound. Various events provide cohesion and fun in a dog-friendly safe space that's within a mile of most else downtown Milwaukee has to offer, including endless festivals, top concerts, dance, symphony, sports (Bucks & Marquette B-ball, Admirals Hockey), beautiful Calatrava Winged Art Museum, the War Memorial on the lake, Patawatomi full casino & hotel, museums, convention center, Harley Davidson's museum/hotel, and top notch theater. Walk, take the bus or free streetcar (The Hop), stroll the riverwalks, rent a boat, or pedal your way on land or on water by party boat. Don't miss the Public Market where fresh meat, cheese, bakery, seafood, desserts, spirits, and ethnic treats can be eaten there or taken home. Among the many friendly people you'll meet working and living in the Ward, stop at Margarita Paradise in the Public Market and taste Emil's take on Mexican comida.

Downtown Kenosha where charm abounds. From cute little mom & pop shoppes, a beautiful Marina for walks, quaint coffee shops (The Buzz being my fav), a fun little ice cream shop (Scoops), a trolley, world-class museums, the Saturday morning Harbor Market which sells everything from produce, breads, meats, popcorn, bakery to a galore of hand-made treasures. Downtown - a fav place for me to peruse whenever I feel like a get-away yet the calendar says otherwise to me leaving. Just walking about the streets of Kenosha’s downtown can make it feel as a MINI HOLIDAY GET-AWAY! ???? ????????
