Nestled on the shorelines of two Great Lakes, Wisconsin is a great state to road trip around and explore. with protected parks, gorgeous hiking routes and cities that are great for a weekend retreat, it’s a US state that’s well worth exploring as you head across the north of the country. That being said, there are heaps of the best places in Wisconsin to visit dotted all across the state.
As you can imagine, that makes it pretty tough to make a concise plan on what to do and where to visit.
So, to help you along the way (so you can focus on the all-important exploring), I wanted to share some of the top places in Wisconsin I think you’ll love.
Have an amazing trip exploring Wisconsin.
1.) Cave of the Mounds
Located near Blue Mounds, and only a 30-minute drive from Madison, Cave of the Mounds is often called North America’s jewel box of caves – and with good reason!
Now, the cave itself is hidden on the southern slope of Blue Mounds. It is popular for the stunning limestone features that have formed over thousands of years inside the cave. Which, you can easily see with the amazing guides on site.
Without going into too much of a history lesson, it might be hard to believe but it was just an accident when Cave of the Mounds was first discovered.
There was so much excitement to see what was inside. So, after a year, the cave was opened to visitors, making it one of the best places in Wisconsin to visit today. Best of all, you can go inside
Of course, you’ll be visiting for the limestone stalactites (which are epic, by the way) but don’t forget about the hiking trails that are nearby in Blue Mounds State Park.
It’s a stunning area of Wisconsin.
2.) Madison
Speaking of Madison, no trip to Wisconsin is complete without a little gander around this Wisconsin gem. In fact, I’d go as far as saying it’s one of the best cities to visit in the state – even if it is smaller than some US cities.
Once here, be sure to check out Wisconsin State Capitol. It’s probably the most iconic building in the city and well worth seeing. Just make sure to go inside and visit on a free tour, the interiors are just beautiful. Honestly, the photos don’t do it justice!
The Capitol Building is also the tallest building in Madison, and it was preserved this way, ensuring that no other buildings will surpass its height. Oh, and keep your eyes peeled for the statue of Athena holding the beaver…
