There is so much to do and see in Green Bay for people of all ages. Plan to spend a couple days before or after convention enjoying all that Green Bay has to offer. Here are just a few examples of the fun, educational and interesting options available to you and your family.

All Things Packers

If you are a Green Bay Packers fan – or football fan in general – Green Bay is a special place rich not only with the history of the Packers but also the game more broadly. Visit Lambeau Field and the Packers Hall of Fame. Walk, bike and drive the Packers Heritage Trail throughout Green Bay and De Pere, and learn about the colorful and rich history of the Packers and the community’s devotion to their hometown team.

Museums

The area offers museums for every age and nearly every interest. Take the kids or grandkids to the Children’s Museum of Green Bay, which includes a life size digestive system to walk through and hands-on exhibits ranging from a fire station and auto shop to a veterinarian clinic and diner. Railroad buff – visit the National Railroad Museum, which features more than 70 one-of-a-kind train cars, rotating exhibits and a growing collection of railroad artifacts and images. Cars more your speed? Check out The Automobile Gallery and see an incredible collection of vehicles from Model Ts and muscle cars to pick-ups and super cars.

Parks, Gardens and the Zoo

Green Bay and the surrounding area have wonderful parks, gardens and other places to enjoy the outdoors. The Green Bay Botanical Garden includes 47 acres filled with more than 120,000 plants from Wisconsin and around the world. The Bay Beach Wildlife Sanctuary, the largest park in the Green Bay Park system, is a beautiful 535 acre urban wildlife refuge featuring live animal exhibits, educational displays, miles of hiking trails and various wildlife viewing opportunities. The New Zoo & Adventure Park features animal exhibits in the zoo and zip line, ropes course and rock climbing wall in the adventure park. 

Day Trips (or longer)

If you have an extra day or two, there are so many options for day or more extended trips from the Green Bay area. One close-by option is Fonferek’s Glen Conservancy Area. This unique 75-acre county park showcases the region’s geology, including a 30-foot waterfall, dolomite cliffs and stone archway. Spend a few days in Door County enjoying the outdoors, Wisconsin food and drink and some of the most spectacular scenery in America.
