Question
What airport do you recommend we fly in and out of?
Answer
We recommend flying in and out of Milwaukee General Mitchell International Airport, which is approximately 40-45 minutes from Laurentide Farm by car. Another option is Dane County Regional Airport in Madison, which is about 1 hour and 15 minutes from the farm. O'Hare International Airport in Chicago is approximately 1 hour and 45 minutes away. For those flying in to the wedding, we recommend renting a car at the airport or using Uber/Lyft to get from the airport to your hotel.
