Hotel at a Glance: Ramada Plaza Green Bay

Inside this Green Bay hotel, kids and kids-at-heart can zoom down water slides and splash in wading pools no matter what the weather’s like outside. The 15,000-square-foot indoor water park is just one of the hotel’s family-friendly attributes. Another big draw is its location, which is a short drive from such attractions as Lambeau Field, the Green Bay Packers Hall of Fame, the National Railroad Museum, and several shops and restaurants.

• Other nearby things to do: Tour Lambeau Field, visit the NEW Zoo (open year round), or take in the plants at the Green Bay Botanical Garden
• Indoor water park with two water slides, a swimming pool, and a hot tub (the water slides only run on weekends; Fridays from 4–9 p.m. and Saturdays and Sundays from 9 a.m. – 9 p.m.)

• Where you’ll stay: Stylish guest rooms feature WiFi access and cable TV.

Green Bay, Wisconsin: Outdoor Adventures in Packer Country

Green Bay hugs the western shores of Lake Michigan in northeast Wisconsin. Though it can get pretty frosty in the winter, few people seem to mind—outdoor enthusiasts take advantage of cross-country skiing, snowmobiling, and snow tubing. Less than an hour to the east, Kewaunee County’s Winter Park features exhilarating tubing runs and a chute with a 70-foot vertical drop. In warmer months, the trails attract hikers and bicyclists, and windsurfers and fishers take to the lake.

While its natural setting is nothing to shake a stick at, there’s no denying Green Bay’s main claim to fame—it’s the capital of Packer country. A few of the town’s street names are even named after legendary Packer football players; keep your eyes peeled for Brett Favre Pass and Lombardi Avenue. Every year, hordes of die-hard fans make pilgrimage to Lambeau Field, which offers guided tours. Lambeau is also home to the Packer Hall of Fame, a Cheesehead shrine lined with jerseys, memorabilia, and the team’s championship trophies (the Packer Hall of Fame is currently under renovations but will re-open sometime in 2015).

For a fun day trip, take the 45-mile minute drive to Door County. It has 300 miles of craggy Lake Michigan shoreline dotted with lighthouses and state parks. Former fishing villages along the shore are now filled with charming mom-and-pop restaurants serving homemade swedish pancakes and old-fashioned ice-cream sodas. The area has a strong artistic presence, too; in many of the art galleries here, you can watch local artisans craft original pieces using copper, glass, and eggshells from nearby farms.

Algoma, Wisconsin: Fishing Community on Shores of Lake Michigan

Driving down the coast of Algoma in summer, you could easily mistake it for Cape Cod—you’ll pass by quaint harbors, picturesque lighthouses, and sandy beaches. The innumerable Packers fans might be the only sign that you’re actually in Wisconsin. Situated on the scenic Schooner Coast of Lake Michigan, Algoma was originally home to the lake’s largest commercial fishing fleet, and it retains a thriving sport-fishing community to this day. As you explore the town, keep an eye out for murals paying tribute to current and former Algoma businesses.

Door County, Wisconsin: Outdoor Recreation and Quaint Towns on the Northwestern Shores of Lake Michigan

It starts with a roaring bonfire set under a kettle of salted water, potatoes, and whitefish fresh from Lake Michigan. Then, when the moment’s right, kerosene gets tossed onto the fire, exciting the flame and sending the fish oil at the top of the pot boiling over. “Radio City has the Rockettes; Door County has fish boils,” the Chicago Tribune writes of these cook-offs. Visitors come for the spectacle as much as the buttery fish. But it’s not the only draw to this part of northeast Wisconsin. Set on a peninsula between Lake Michigan and Green Bay, the county also has plenty of waterfront. Some call Door County the “Cape Cod of the Midwest.” It’s an apt nickname considering the rocky coves, harbors, and lighthouses that make up the nearly 300-mile shoreline here.

With such easy access to the water, it’s no wonder that boating and fishing are popular activities in Door County. But there’s also plenty to do on land, as the area is also home to a number of state parks. Peninsula State Park fronts 8 miles of rocky coastline near the town of Fish Creek. You can kayak around the limestone bluffs here or hike miles of paths that weave through wetlands, forests, and open meadows. In the winter months, heavy snowfall transforms the park’s landscape into a haven for cross-country skiing, snowshoeing, and snowmobiling. If you’re looking for a beach, Whitefish Dunes State Park has miles and miles of fragile sand dunes, some of which are among the highest on Lake Michigan.

Door County is lined with charming small towns with everything from art galleries to theater venues and historic churches. The town of Ephraim is a good place to go for antiquing. While you’re here, you can also learn more about the town’s Scandinavian roots on a historical walking tour, which departs from the Anderson Barn History Center and includes stops at some of the Ephraim Village Museums.
