It is time to choose your adventure in Racine County! Come for a day, evening or weekend and discover something incredible! Every community offers something unique…the hardest part is choosing which to experience every day!

The City of Racine lines the shore of Lake Michigan and provides everything you need for a perfect summer day. Check out North Beach and its 50 acres of nearly-white sand. Stop with the kids at Kids Cove, an interactive playground located at one end of North Beach. Or walk the Lake Michigan Pathway in the other direction and end up at the Racine Zoo! The Chartroom restaurant is newly renovated, located right on the water, and features amazing food. If you have a little time to plan ahead, reach out to First In Fishing Charters and plan a day catching salmon on Lake Michigan. For all those who love to fish and haven’t tried it in Racine yet, you are missing out!

Racine County has miles of biking and walking trails and the Pike River Pathway in Mount Pleasant is perfectly paved for bikers (and walkers) who want to get out and experience a trail bursting with nature. You can also hop off the trail and check out the brand new Campus Park. The park includes pickleball courts, a big playground, a splash pad and a huge band shell! Come experience the Mount Pleasant Summer Music Series on select Tuesday nights!

If you and your family are already planning for the spring and summer, check out Jellystone Campground and Bear Paw Adventure Park in Caledonia. You can camp at Jellystone in one of their awesome cabins or visit the water obstacle course at Bear Paw Beach for the day. New attractions are always popping up at this Racine County attraction and we highly recommend a nighttime visit to see the incredible Drone Show!

Our Western communities offer even more fun experiences!  The Fox River in Waterford is the perfect drop-in spot for you and your kayak. With several launches as you head South, you can make the trip as long or short as you’d like. But the views are stunning no matter where you start and stop! Burlington is not only home to the Brown’s Lake Aquaducks water ski team but you can also find some incredible fishing on the banks of the White River. Bring your boat to one of Burlington’s lakes and I promise it will be a day well-spent.

The Franksville Craft Beer Garden is the best way to spend a day in Racine County. This family-friendly spot hosts live music and specialty events like Taco Fest, the annual Food Truck Festival and Oktoberfest! 

Lastly, you do not want to miss out on the Tour N Taste Experience at Spirits of Norway! This local vineyard has created a truly amazing experience that includes a tour or the property, wine tastings and pairings and the opportunity to take home your favorite bottle. Gather your friends and head over to one of the best experiences in Racine County!

And don’t forget that any activity is better with Kringle- Racine is the home of the Wisconsin State Pastry!

Come for a day, an evening or a weekend. No matter what time you have, we have time for YOU. Welcome to Racine County!
