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

December 14, 2021 Hana Mouser

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.

Possibility Playground

Reviewed By nikkidwi - Port Washington, United States

We love this playground. There are two sections, one for younger and one for older kids. Swings, sandbox, slides, and obstacles, all on the bluff overlooking Lake Michigan. I feel comfortable playing with my son here, plenty of room for adults to chase around their fearless toddlers. The playground is also handicap accessible. There are usually lots of activities going on in the park that the playground is in(Upper Lake Park), like picnicking (BYO charcoal grills scattered throughout), exercise classes, and even a beer garden during the summer. Plus, there is plenty of parking. Pros: Accessible Great location Good variety equipment Located in a beautiful park Ample parking Restroom facilities on site Cons: Must cross a street from parking lot to playground

Riverside Park has nice waking trails and they do a good job keeping the sidewalks free of snow. Great spot to walk a dog since they allow pets on leashes in the trail. There is a nice playground for kids and beautiful view of the river.

Reviewed By peks19 - Milwaukee, United States

Kaylas playground is tucked away in the neighborhood. A huge playground with all the slides, climbing apparatus, forts and swings. The play area is fenced in, which is a good thing because oil a busy day its big enough to lose sight of your young one.

Timberland Playhouse at Wilderness Resort

Kids can literally bounce off the walls at this three-story, 12,000 square-foot indoor fun house made of foam.

My four year old daughter loved this area. We played here for about an hour every day of our four day stay. This area never seemed to busy compared to every where else in the resort. They had a good amount of seating available for parents and I loved the fact the only way in and out of the structure is visible from where you sit. So I wasnt worried about losing my daughter in the structure. She could have stayed here all day. Be sure to bring socks because they are required. They do have a vending machine with socks available for purchase. This is a great FREE addition to the resort and highly recommend utilizing it.
