by 5 Incredible Reasons to Visit Wisconsin ASAP
Wisconsin tourism is bouncing back in a big way as reservations surge to pre-pandemic levels. People are flocking to campgrounds, restaurants, and tourist spots. If you’ve always wanted to visit Wisconsin, now is the time!
The Badger State, also known as the Cheese State (for good reason) has a lot to offer. Take a look at these incredible reasons to take a trip to Wisconsin.
- Known for Incredible Cheese
Dairy products are huge in Wisconsin, and you have to try some of their famous goodies. The cream puff is an iconic staple of the Wisconsin State Fair, which has been sold there since 1924. People buy 50-60 cream puffs per minute during the fair!
Also, the Dairy State boasts some really good cheese. Practically every restaurant you go to will have cheese curds on the menu.
If you visit Wisconsin, we recommend trying the beer-battered cheese curds, a crispy, salty, and cheesy snack you’ll start to crave.
- Plenty of Breweries
If you love locally brewed craft beers, you have to check out some of Wisconsin’s famous breweries.
The state’s earliest breweries go way back to the 1830s. German immigrants brought over their brewing techniques, and brewing became an important part of Wisconsin’s history.
Some of the most famous brewing companies include Leinenkugel, Miller, Pabst, and Schlitz, among others.
