Rich history, a dynamic culinary scene and thrilling sporting events are hallmarks of Green Bay.
While the Packers football team is the main attraction here, look a little deeper and discover the hidden gems that make this Wisconsin destination a place to visit with friends and family – and one to remember forever.
Family fun
Outdoor activities, historic sites, and unique shopping provide Green Bay with a fun atmosphere year-round, not just during football season.
Green Bay is the oldest settlement in our state, founded in the 17th century. Thanks to this, museums and attractions are created tailored to the needs of families and history lovers. Explore Native American artifacts and sites throughout the city. Be sure to stop at the National Railway Museum for train rides, exhibitions and guided tours.
Thanks to the bay and the Fox River, Green Bay is a popular fishing destination. Catch yellow perch or smallmouth bass with family and friends. If fishing isn’t your thing, relax on the freshwater beach or take a trip to some of the most impressive waterfalls near the city, including Wequiock and Fonferek Falls.
Buying something senior or up-to-date is always fun. Go ancient shopping at places like Antique Mall of Greater Green Bay and American Antiques & Jewelry. If you prefer designer stores, visit Bay Park Square Mall.
A dynamic culinary scene
Depression-era burgers, trendy wine bars and everything in between make up Green Bay’s dining scene.
For a casual bite to eat, stop by Al’s Hamburger Shop, which opened in 1934 and is a favorite comfort food spot. Or go venison with cheese curds and wings at the Fox Harbor Pub and Grill, also on the river.
For more elegant occasions, sample up-to-date vintages at Aardvark Wine Lounge and Amphora Wine Bar, to name a few. Then, dine at Mackinaws Grill and Spirits, where you can dine in front of one of the six stone fireplaces. At Chefusion Eclectic Cuisine & Lounge you’ll find cutting-edge, fine dining in the heart of the historic district.
