Plenty of Activities to do in Green Bay

Besides football, the other thing to do in Green Bay is to check out our local museums.  Green Bay has a rich and interesting history. The Neville Public Museum has a collection of historic neon signs that used to be displayed along highways and storefronts. The National Railroad Museum and the Automobile Gallery are two museums that showcase the development of locomotives over a century. Last but not least is the Heritage Hill State Historical Park. It is an open-air museum with 50 acres of living history. Fall color in Wisconsin is fully underway, and there are plenty of fun tours, scenic drives, and hikes in the area worth seeing this fall. For the football fans, there are of course plenty of activities to do this October, including self-guided tours and the city trolley tour. The Packers Heritage Trail is the perfect place to start if you really want to understand the importance of football to the city of Green Bay.

Craft Brewry Tour is Another Great October Activity

While Oktoberfest officially ended on October 3rd, you can still find many local breweries celebrating the month of Oktoberfest. Hinterland is a brewery and a restaurant next to Lambeau Field on Lombardi Ave. Badger State Brewing is inside the Stadium District, and is always filled with fellow Cheeseheads, even during away games. The Stillmank Brewing Company’s Wisco Disco has received the US Open Beer Championship gold medal two years in a row in 2014 and 2015. The Noble Roots Brewing Company is one of the newest craft breweries in Green Bay, and is definitely proving itself worthy of a visit.

With so many great choices, make sure you allow yourself plenty of time in Green Bay. There’s no better place to stay then the comfortable lodgings at the Astor House Bed and Breakfast.  Make your reservations online today!
