Things To Do
The Pearl Ice Cream Parlor
One of Maddie's & Josh's favorite places to get ice cream and walk around Riverside Park(where they got engaged!)
Grandad Bluff
The 600-ft high bluff overlooks the city of La Crosse. The view of the Mississippi River Valley includes the three states of Wisconsin, Minnesota and Iowa. Wisconsin Trails readers voted this “the most scenic view in the state”
The Starlite Lounge
Another one of Maddie's and Josh's favorites for martinis. On the second floor of Buzzard Billy's Flying Carp Cafe in La Crosse, WI, The Starlite Lounge will take you back to simpler, swingin' times. With its retro atmosphere, you will feel like you are in the presence of Frank Sinatra and the famous Rat Pack.
Shrine of Our Lady of Guadalupe
The Shrine of Our Lady of Guadalupe will forever be a spiritual destination for visitors from all over the world. The Shrine is nestled on over 100 acres of God’s Country in the Mississippi River Valley. In addition to the many beautiful chapels, statues, gardens, and devotional areas, the Shrine has a full-service cafe and gift shop. The Shrine is open daily, there is never a charge for visiting, and the public is welcome.
