Green Bay Weekend Getaway with Kids

Day 1: Arrival and Exploration

Morning: Arrival in Green Bay

• • Check-in at Family-Friendly Hotel: Stay at the Tundra Lodge Resort with its indoor waterpark or the Oneida Hotel
    for spacious rooms, convenient access to local attractions, and super quick access to the airport.

Late Morning: Bay Beach Amusement Park

Kick off your trip with some excitement at Bay Beach Amusement Park. With rides for all ages, including the Zippin Pippin roller coaster Elvis’ favorite ride, this spot is perfect for family fun. It’s affordable too because you pay per ride not a flat admission. 

Lunch: Cedar & Sage Grill House

Enjoy a lunch inspired by the Oneida Nation at this restaurant. Savor local meats, freshwater fish, and produce sourced from the Oneida Nation Reservation orchard, farm, and cannery, along with other Wisconsin makers like Belgioioso Cheese and Torke Coffee.

Afternoon: Educational Tour at Salt Pork Avenue

Dive into the rich history of the Oneida Nation with a visit to Salt Pork Avenue. Explore five reconstructed log homes dating back to the mid-1800s, each telling a story of the Oneidas’ journey to the Michigan territory and their treaties with the Menominee and Ho-Chunk Nations. This was the first time I had heard of the long homes and it was extremely interesting. So, different from things I’ve learned previously about Native Americans.

Dinner: Jake’s Pizza

Jake’s Pizza in downtown is fantastic and kid-friendly. If you don’t feel like pizza check out 1919 Kitchen and Tap instead. It’s inside the Packers Stadium and will have all the sports games on.

Day 2: Adventure and Play

Morning: NEW Zoo & Adventure Park

Start your day at the Northeast Wisconsin Zoo. Meet a variety of animals and challenge yourselves with the thrilling zip lines and ropes course at the Adventure Park. They have several animal encounters that you can do including meeting a penguin or feeding a giraffe. 

Lunch: Chives

Enjoy lunch today at Chives. The French Onion soup is quite impressive if you are unsure what to order. 

Afternoon: Bay Beach Wildlife Sanctuary

After lunch check out Bay Beach Wildlife Sanctuary, where you can enjoy a peaceful walk and see local wildlife that has been injured. This is free and inside the the main building are some interesting exhibits for kids. 

If you have extra time before dinner add in a visit to the Green Bay Botanical Garden. 

Dinner: 888 Cheese and Co

End your day with a comforting and creative meal at this gourmet grilled cheese restaurant. Indulge in specialties like the “BRAT” with Nueske’s bacon and avocado or the “GOAT” with goat cheese and caramelized onions.

Day 3: Stadium and Departure

Breakfast: Leaps & Bounds

Kick off your day with a grab and go breakfast at Leaps and Bounds just across the street from the stadium. I had the French Toast, it was great but the burritos I saw looked amazing. 

Morning: Stadium Tour and Playing at Titletown

Lambeau Field Tour: Even if you’re not a huge football family, a visit to the home of the Green Bay Packers is a must. Take a guided tour of the stadium, which is packed with history and fun facts. The kids will love some of the interactive exhibits at the Packers Hall of Fame like seeing how high they can jump.

Titletown District: Right next to Lambeau Field, the Titletown District offers plenty of activities, including a playground, a full-size football field, and a winter skating rink or tubing hill depending on the season.

Lunch: The Turn

Head to The Turn for a unique lunch experience that combines dining with interactive play. Choose from a menu featuring fresh twists on American classics while enjoying the Topgolf Swing Suite, where you can try your hand at various interactive gaming experiences.

Afternoon: Departure

Pack up and head home after a weekend full of fun, education, and great food, with wonderful memories of your family getaway in Green Bay.

This itinerary offers a perfect blend of local culture, history, and entertainment, making it an ideal choice for families looking to explore Green Bay.

Get Travel Insurance

Unfortunately, there are a lot of things that can go wrong on any trip. Be prepared for the worst with travel insurance. We use Travelex or Safety Wing (often cheaper).

Book Flights

I use Skyscanner to find flights. I use it so much, I wrote an entire guide to finding cheap flights with Skyscanner! Another option for finding deals is FlightHub.

Book a Place to Stay

I recommend using Expedia.com or Hotels.com for most hotel bookings. I prefer to book directly with Marriott when I stay there because of their excellent military discount.

If you prefer staying in a vacation rental instead, I recommend VRBO. If you are looking for a hostel, I use HostelWorld.

Choose Activities and Tours

To find great activities in any area I use Viator. If we are visiting a city with lots of popular attractions I always check CityPass, PogoPass, and GoCard to see if they have discount cards available. Groupon also tends to have a lot of local travel deals.

When I want to book a full-on multi-day tour I use TourRadar. They’ve got fantastic weekly deals. If going somewhere in Mexico or the Caribbean, I use Apple Vacations.

Rent a Car or Get a Lyft

More often than not, Lyft is cheaper than Uber. Use my Lyft link for an $18 credit! For a car rental in any country, I recommend Hertz or Discover Cars.

Save Money on Gas

Upside a free app gets you cash back on gas! Use promo code RV2Q2 to get an extra 15¢/gal bonus on your first purchase.

Get a Visa

I use iVisa to get all of my Visas.
