North to Green Bay!
Our Wisconsin adventure begins as we depart from our convenient pickup locations and travel north aboard our comfortable motorcoach. Along the way, we’ll make a stop for lunch on your own before continuing toward Green Bay.
A Little Mystery Awaits...
Before checking into our hotel, we’re adding a little extra fun to the afternoon with a Mystery Stop! Where are we going? That’s part of the adventure! You’ll simply have to climb aboard and enjoy the surprise. We’ve tucked away a special Green Bay-area experience designed to give you a memorable introduction to Wisconsin.
Afterward, we’ll settle in at the Hampton Inn Green Bay Downtown, our home for the next five nights. Located near the heart of downtown, it makes a comfortable home base for exploring everything Green Bay has to offer.
This evening, we’ll gather for dinner at Hagemeister Park, a popular local gathering place whose name pays tribute to the site of the Green Bay Packers’ first home field. With its riverfront setting and strong connection to local history, it’s a fitting place to toast the beginning of our Green Bay getaway!

DAY 2 • TUESDAY, AUGUST 24, 2027
Riding the Rails & Strolling the Gardens
Enjoy breakfast at the hotel before setting out for a day filled with history, scenery and hands-on fun.
Our first stop is the National Railroad Museum, where America’s railroading story comes to life among historic locomotives, passenger cars and fascinating exhibits. Step aboard pieces of railroad history, discover the innovation that helped build and connect the nation and see impressive treasures including the train associated with General Dwight D. Eisenhower.

We’ll make the experience even more memorable with a hobo-style boxed lunch and train ride, giving us a chance to enjoy the museum from an entirely different perspective.
This afternoon, we trade iron giants for garden paths at the Green Bay Botanical Garden. During a special herbal immersion experience, we’ll discover the many ways herbs have been used in cooking, wellness and traditional remedies. See, smell and experience a fascinating variety of plants before enjoying an herbal demonstration filled with tastes, recipes and useful tips.
Best of all, you’ll create your own herbal scrub to take home, a fragrant little souvenir from our afternoon in the garden.
After time to freshen up at the hotel, we’ll head out for dinner at a local Green Bay restaurant before returning for a relaxing evening.

Day 3

DAY 3 • WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 25, 2027
Green & Gold Glory
Today belongs to the Green Bay Packers!
After breakfast, we’ll begin with a step-on guided journey along the Packers Heritage Trail. Green Bay’s football history stretches back more than a century, and our guide will bring those stories to life as we travel past important landmarks connected to the team’s earliest days. Along the way, enjoy photo opportunities at historic locations including old City Stadium and the Heritage Trail Plaza.
Then it’s time for the centerpiece of our Green Bay adventure...
Welcome to Lambeau Field!
Few stadiums in American sports inspire the same sense of history and tradition as Lambeau Field, and today we’ll experience it from the inside during a guided stadium tour.
Walk through areas normally seen only by players, coaches and insiders. Travel through the player tunnel, stand near the sidelines where generations of football legends have competed and hear fascinating behind-the-scenes stories celebrating more than a century of Packers history.
After our tour, enjoy lunch and time to browse the enormous Packers Pro Shop, where everything green and gold is waiting for Packers fans and souvenir hunters alike.
Our afternoon continues inside the Green Bay Packers Hall of Fame, a world-class museum devoted to one of professional football’s most storied franchises. Interactive exhibits, historic artifacts, multimedia displays and unforgettable memorabilia tell the story of the Packers from their humble beginnings in 1919 through generations of championship football.
Even if you didn’t arrive in Green Bay as a football fanatic, you may find yourself leaving with a little green and gold in your heart!
Tonight, we’ll enjoy dinner at Mackinaws Grill & Spirits, where cozy Northwoods style, hearty food and rustic Wisconsin charm create the perfect ending to our Packers-filled day.

Day 4

DAY 4 • THURSDAY, AUGUST 26, 2027
Culture, Craft & Wisconsin Flavor
Following breakfast, we’ll spend the morning discovering another important part of the Green Bay region during a visit with the Oneida Nation.
Our guided experience will introduce us to the history, traditions and culture of the Oneida people while providing a deeper look at the community that has called this region home for generations. Lunch is included as part of our visit.
This afternoon, we turn our attention to another proud Wisconsin tradition: craft brewing!
At Ahnapee Brewery, we’ll discover the story of a historic Wisconsin beer brand that was revived for a new generation. During our guided experience, sample a selection of small-batch beers ranging from crisp and refreshing to bold and flavorful while learning about the ingredients and techniques that go into each pour.
We’ll explore the brewing process through taste and aroma, hear stories about Ahnapee’s heritage and enjoy an opportunity to ask questions about the art and science behind craft beer.
A small take-home gift will give you something to remember our Wisconsin brewing adventure long after the last glass is empty.
After returning to the hotel to freshen up, we’ll head out for dinner together at a local restaurant.

Day 5

DAY 5 • FRIDAY, AUGUST 27, 2027
Wild Encounters & Wisconsin Spirits
Our final full day in Green Bay brings together animals, local flavors and another unique behind-the-scenes experience.
We begin at the Northeastern Wisconsin Zoo, better known as the NEW Zoo. Tucked into a beautiful wooded setting, the zoo is home to more than 200 animals from around the world.
Watch penguins at play, discover animals large and small and enjoy the peaceful forested surroundings as we explore.
But we won’t simply be visiting the exhibits. Our special experience takes us behind the scenes to learn how the zoo cares for its residents. See where meals are prepared inside “Georgia’s Kitchen,” learn about veterinary care at the Cornerstone Animal Hospital and finish the experience with a live animal encounter.
After working up an appetite, we’ll enjoy lunch at a local Green Bay restaurant.
Then we’re off to Paradise North Distillery, Green Bay’s first craft distillery. This family-owned operation produces handcrafted rum, vodka, bourbon and other spirits while embracing the flavors and personality of Wisconsin.
During our guided experience, learn how spirits travel from grain to glass as we explore the distilling process and hear the story behind Green Bay’s growing craft-spirit scene. We’ll also enjoy a tasting featuring several of the distillery’s award-winning creations.
A special take-home gift adds one final souvenir to our collection before we gather for dinner and celebrate a wonderful week in Green Bay.

Day 6

DAY 6 • SATURDAY, AUGUST 28, 2027
One Last Taste of Wisconsin
Enjoy breakfast at the hotel before setting out your luggage and saying goodbye to Green Bay.
But our Wisconsin adventure isn’t quite finished yet!
We’ll travel south with a stop for lunch on your own before making one final Wisconsin-worthy visit at the Alp & Dell Cheese Store in Monroe.
Because really... could we travel through Wisconsin for six days and go home without cheese?
Browse an assortment of Wisconsin cheeses and specialty products, pick up a few delicious souvenirs and perhaps discover a new favorite to take home.
Then we’ll settle back aboard the motorcoach and continue toward home, returning to our pickup locations with plenty of stories, souvenirs and memories from our Green Bay getaway.
From Lambeau legends to local flavors, this is Wisconsin done right!
