What To Do In Door County, Wisconsin



I've listed just 5 of the MANY fun things to do in Door County, Wisconsin. If you're interested in some good eats, see my previous post, "What To Eat In Door County, Wisconsin"

Walk The Towns - Fish Creek, Egg Harbor, & Sister Bay
These three are my recommendations if you want to walk and shop. All three towns are along the coast of Lake Michigan, so those tired of shopping can grab an ice cream cone, and sit by the docks!

Visit ALL the Country Markets
Yes, they all sell the same essentials: cherry-flavored EVERYTHING (cheese, salsa, mustard, wine, juice, jelly, etc.), but stopping by multiple on a rainy day will keep you full and happy. All have free samples of almost everything!

State Parks: Biking & Hiking
-Peninsula State Park - west side of the peninsula

  • best for biking
  • has a small beach to swim, rent kayaks, paddle boats & boards,
 -Whitefish Dunes and Cave Point - east side of the peninsula
  • best for hiking
Go-Karting
In: Egg Harbor, WI - Egg Harbor Fun Park
The park is recently built and in business and is therefore modern and up to date. Because it has become more popular, expect many people enjoying all of the parks amenities, and thus some lines.

In: Sister Bay, WI - Johnson's Park
This park is a little older, but the go-karts are excellent and most nights the wait is not too long. These karts are reasonably priced and offer a double-kart for young riders with their parents.
PLUS there is a mini-golf course next door.

Drive-In Theater
One of my favorite Door County past times is the Drive-In theater, Skyway Drive-In, just outside of Fish Creek. They are extremely well priced and include 2 movies. The first is generally family-friendly and the second is rated PG-13 or R. 
My family loves to pick up pizza on the way for the first showing and buy popcorn from the concessions stand for the second showing munchies.


And overall...just enjoy! It's easy to drive from town to town along the shoreline exploring and finding special places of your own.
