What are some things to do in and around Kenosha WI?

Question

We are planning a family trip w/ my 4 yr old next month and I was wondering what family attractions are in the area.

Answer 1

You'll need things that will be entertaining for a 4 year old. Try the beach on Simmons Island right on Lake Michigan. South from there is Wolfenbutel park. It's nice for walking along the lakefront and has a children's playground and a water fountain that kids can play in. In the same area is Harbor Park where the Kenosha Museum is. The Wholly Mammoth is a favorite of kids and they have an interactive kids area in the museum as well (and it's all free). You can catch a ride on the Kenosha trolley for a quarter per person.

While the Ren-faire is awesome, a 4 year old would probably not last long there. Wait a couple more years for that. By the Interstate is the mini-golf park with bumper boats, go carts and a large arcade area.

Of course you wouldn't want to miss taking the youngster to the Jelly Belly warehouse in Pleasant Prairie. They have a free train ride around the inside of the building that kids enjoy.

Answer 2

We used to go up to Kenosha a lot for mini-golf at Congo River. It's still there, but I don't know if a 4 year old would appreciate mini-golf.

Now we go to the Brat Stop down the street.
