Kenosha's Historic, Artsy Side
A great starting point in Kenosha is a stroll through HarborPark. Kenosha's crown jewel merges into the historic downtown quarter, with indie shops, local eateries, art galleries, and even an outdoor market selling fresh local produce. A ride on beautifully restored electric streetcars traveling a 2-mile loop past Lake Michigan, HarborPark, and many of the town's historic buildings is highly recommended.
Art lovers can't miss a visit to the Kenosha Lighthouse Studio at North Pier Lighthouse in Simmons Island Park. Bought by a local artist, the lighthouse is now a community space that promotes local artists, and hosts exhibitions and concerts. This landmark of the local skyline also makes a great photo opportunity with the lake as a backdrop.
Kenosha has a collection of four Smithsonian-affiliate museums. Check out the Kenosha Public Museum, home to over 80,000 exhibits covering fossils, decorative arts, world cultures, and more. Also consider the Civil War Museum, which honors the Upper Midwest men and women of diverse backgrounds who served. Don't miss the 'Seeing the Elephant' movie in The Fiery Trial exhibit, a 360-degree experience allowing viewers a strikingly lifelike glimpse into the war.
Dinosaurs, Jelly, and More
Family fun can be found at every turn in Kenosha. A top-rated family-friendly attraction is the Dinosaur Discovery Museum where gigantic replicas of species like the tyrannosaurus rex, gallimimus, and ceratosaurus await. The interactive exhibit, Little Clint: The Story of a Baby Dinosaur, provides fun research-related activities like scouting for fossils, and peering through microscopes.
For a unique confectionery escapade, head to the interactive Jelly Belly Center. Kids can indulge in virtual reality games, identify jelly flavors at the Smell Station, and ride the Jelly Belly Express train through the warehouse to see how this beloved candy with local origins is produced.
Another fun attraction is Petzke Park's Dream Playground, fully accessible to children of all abilities. Ride the Liberty Swing, and check out features like mosaic art, braille displays, and even replicas of streetcars, a ship, and two lighthouses. Top off things with a trip on the Red Witch. This award-winning tall ship is a stunning replica of an 1830s schooner used on the Great Lakes. Cruises are available during the summer months.
