Wisconsin’s water, wilderness and winning sports teams 


The good times will flow for your attendees while they’re on Wisconsin's lakes, rivers and ocean-like coastline. Forty-nine state parks create possibilities like team hiking by day and world-class stargazing by night.

There’s always a sports fan in the group, and some of the most diehards hail from Wisconsin. History is made in Wisconsin stadiums and arenas. From the Super Bowl Champion Packers and NBA Champion Bucks to the beloved Milwaukee Brewers, spectating a professional sport with locals is a must for off-agenda fun.


Beer and cheese are just the start…

Beer … and cheese (a reason with duality).

Our legendary beer and cheese add flavor to group experiences. These favorites have globalized our state and liquid legends like Pabst, Miller, Leinenkugel and Schlitz paved paths in our history. Tour a brewery, visit a cheese factory and then explore the supper clubs, waterfront restaurants and top-dining establishments that make Wisconsin unique.
