Things To Do
Outside of the obvious (going to Chicago), we wanted to give you a few ideas as to what do do in the area if your staying for the weekend.
Kenosha, Wisconsin
21 56th St, Kenosha, WI 53140, (262) 654-7307
Kenosha's Lake Michigan shoreline is one of its most popular features, with nearly 90 percent publicly accessible via parks, beaches, festival places and a miles-long promenade. The lakeshore also boasts five one-of-a-kind museums, an authentic electric streetcar system, two historic lighthouses, and the popular Kenosha HarborMarket. A vibrant Downtown district full of shopping, dining and the arts is ideally located just steps from the lakeshore and makes for a truly special visit.
