Packing A Day in Green Bay Wisconsin (The Land of the Green Packers Football Team)



A day trip to Green Bay Wisconsin is packed full of fun and it's easy to visit all the main attractions in this friendly city with a population of about 105,000 in one day. Last week I arrived at 5:10 am to the Green Bay Transit station on a bus. Less than half an hour later the doors of the station opened and a kind woman at the customer service desk informed me how to navigate around Green Bay by bus. I really enjoyed my day in Green Bay, Wisconsin and I hope you too whether you spend a day, a week, or a month.



A DAY IN GREEN BAY IS PACKED FULL OF ADVENTURES:


                                           "Titletown" a favorite with locals and tourists!


On Arrival to the Green Bay Transit take the complimentary bus #8 to Lambeau Field, home of the Green Bay Packers football team. Take a tour of the famous football stadium and its surroundings. Across the street from Lambeau Field is "Title-town" a fun complex with activities, restaurants, and shops. Stay at the hip upscale Lodge Kohler, just 100 yards from Lambeau Field. Enjoy the indoor/outdoor restaurant and cafe, the fabulous spa, rooftop bar, state of the art lobby, and a hospitable staff. 

Venture to Broadway and enjoy breakfast at Kavarna Coffeehouse. This long-running laid back coffeehouse with baked goods, deli sandwiches, and vegetarian fare has a relaxing atmosphere, great tasting food and drinks, and a cheerful and friendly staff. The coffee drinks are outstanding as is the Orange Blossom Ice Tea which I enjoyed very much. 

                                           Bay Beach Amusement Park is a treasure!

After filling up on breakfast head to Bay Beach Amusement Park. This fun-filled amusement park has all the thrilling rides at prices as low as 25 cents a ride. Zippin Pippin is the beloved roller coaster at Bay Beach Amusement Park and a favorite of singer Elvis Presley. You can spend a whole day at Bay Beach Amusement Park enjoying the rides, having picnics, and kayaking on the bay. Just a short walk across East Short Drive is the Bay Beach Wildlife Sanctuary. This is one of the most peaceful places in Green Bay, located on 600 acres. Observe live animal exhibits, educational exhibits, a nature center, and wildlife spots. There are miles of hiking trails to explore in lush surroundings. In the winter these hiking trials become ski trails. The gorgeous Bay Beach Wildlife Sanctuary has the second largest wildlife rehabilitation program in the United States. 

         

                                                 Green Bay Farmers Market is a blast!

If you happen to be in Green Bay on a Wednesday you can't miss the Farmers Market on Broadway. Live music bands, baked goods, brewed beer, fresh produce, crafts clothes, and jewelry are all part of the Farmers Market. You can also treat yourself to delicious meals by the vendors who make everything from fried cheese curds to fish tacos to authentic Ethiopian food. This is where locals gather to socialize and enjoy an authentic Farmers Market. For a bit of Irish on the Fox River, Saint Brendan's on South Washington is a marvelous place to enjoy drinks and food in their Irish Pub. They even have Irish imported Guinness beer on tap. If you'd like to spend a night or two here, the comfy rooms come with whirlpool baths. 

If you love trains than you'll love the National Railroad Museum. Check out the 25 minute documentary film, exhibits, historical trains, and a train ride with narration from the conductor. Train rides at the National Railroad Museum are available daily from May to September and on weekends in October. Other amazing attractions in Green Bay are the Green Bay Botanical Gardens and New Zoo and Adventure Park.

Green Bay, Wisconsin is not the most walkable city, so having a vehicle to get around is the best option although the public bus system works quite well too. Less than an hour away from Green Bay is Door County. This gorgeous peninsula surrounded by water is famous for its idyllic setting that resembles Cape Cod, Massachusetts. With 300 miles of shoreline and plenty of art galleries, farmland, orchards, quaint towns, and wineries at your fingertips you'll love Door County and all it has to offer. Don't miss out on a famous fish boil.

SPOTLIGHT ON SEROOGY'S (Homemade Chocolates, Since 1899)



The most talked about place for chocolates in Green Bay is Seroogy's. Almost every local I encountered during my visit to Green Bay, said "you must try the chocolates at Seroogy's. In business since 1899 the folks at Seroogy's are experienced and genuine candy makers, pleasing the palates of locals and tourists alike. With locations in Ashwaubenon and De Pere, you simply cannot miss out on a visit to Seroogy's. I was recommended the Seroogy's Meltaway Bars by the staff. They're available in a variety of flavors and simply delicious.

It is home to more archaeological museums than any other country in the world and offers plenty of ancient history, amazing cuisine, culture stimulation, incredible breath-taking beaches, sunny weather, and warm hospitality. Athens, the largest city has a lot to offer but when it comes to a relaxing vacation even the residents of Athen head to one of the Greek Islands to relax and de-stress.
