Things To Do
Historic Downtown Oconomowoc
Welcome to Oconomowoc, Katie's hometown, with so many quaint places to explore! Your perfect Saturday: Start your day at the Oconomowoc Farmer's Market, then head over to a coffee shop for bite and enjoy it on the boardwalk, take a quick walk around Fowler Lake, grab some lunch and a sweet treat, do some shopping, and head home to get ready for the wedding! Coffee shops: Whelan's, Roots, Fresh Baked Cafe. Walk around the lake: A short, 2 mile walk from downtown Oconomowoc around Fowler Lake. Lunch: Bella Gusto, Crafty Cow, Sobie's. Ice cream, Gelato, Custard: Whelan's ice cream, Golosi's authentic Italian gelato, and the Kiltie Drive-in (5 min drive from downtown) for lunch and custard (cash/check only but so worth it)! Shopping: Fray, The Wood Station Co-op, Homebody, The Well, The Silver Eagle, and Serendipity Home. Dinner: Sobie's, Lago Su Bella, Wine Maniacs, or Twisted Fire. (If you are not from Wisconsin, I insist you order cheese curds at least once while in town.)
Downtown Delafield
Downtown Delafield is a historic area full of delicious restaurants and small boutiques! I'd absolutely recommend spending an afternoon walking around and checking it out. If you plan to stay at the Delafield Hotel, it's easy to walk from there, otherwise it's just a 10-15 minute drive from Oconomowoc. I'll list a few favorites below: Coffee: Blue Collar Coffee, Well House, Green Door Cafe Breakfast/Brunch: Lumber Inn, Belfre Kitchen Lunch/Dinner (some only open for dinner): Zin, I.d., Belfre Kitchen, Revere's, Il Mito, Angelina's, Contento Shops: Clearwater Outdoor, Element Style, Next Door Boutique, Main St. Boutique, Wingman Gifts + Supply, Bliss Boutique River walk: The boardwalk begins at St. John's Pond, next to the Delafield Fish Hatchery building, and winds along the river over wetland and marsh
Milwaukee
Whether you're just flying into Milwaukee, or planning to stay downtown during your stay, Milwaukee is full or fun things to do in the summertime! -Milwaukee Public Market and Tiki Bar -Breweries, beer gardens, bloody mary's -Milwaukee River Walk -Explore the Third Ward restaurants and shops -Cheese curd tour -Milwaukee Art Museum -Discovery World
A Day on the Lake
If you're staying in town longer than the weekend and have some time to get on the water, I highly recommend it! Lake Country, an aptly named region, is full of small, inland lakes, great for swimming, paddle boarding, kayaking, jet skiing, fishing, boating, etc. Check out Visit Oconomowoc's website for rental options.
