There are many reasons to visit the Kenosha Area and many more to stay just a little bit longer. With an abundance of one-of-a-kind attractions and “must see” stops, why not take the time to discover Wisconsin’s southern-most port?
Nearly ninety percent of Kenosha’s Lake Michigan shoreline is dedicated to public recreation with parks, trails, beaches and more. Take a dip, cast a line or drop anchor, and enjoy the beauty of Lake Michigan.
Witness the renaissance of the harbor area including the picturesque HarborPark neighborhood with breathtaking parks and festival places. Enjoy fountains and sculptures, two lighthouses, and a campus of five museums, including the Midwest’s only Civil War Museum. Experience the lakefront promenade, winding its way along the shore, inviting you to stroll, bike, skate, fish, or just relax on a bench and take in the view. Hop aboard one of seven authentic electric streetcars, winding their way through HarborPark, and a lively downtown shopping and entertainment district.
