Learning about what your destination has to offer in terms of food, accommodations, and events is essential in planning a trip.
This information allows you to decide where, when, and how you want to travel. It can also increase your enthusiasm and keep you motivated through the more tedious parts of planning.
Whether you are a solo traveler, couple, senior, or family, there are many things to do regardless of the season. Below are just a few of the best places in Wisconsin (specifically in the Green Lake area).
The namesake of this beautiful town provides great opportunities for fun and adventure.
Travelers can enjoy boat and water-sport equipment rentals for a fun-filled day of fishing, sunbathing, paddleboarding, and more! Not to mention the lake is surrounded by some of the top-rated restaurants in the area.
Those on a tighter budget can get plenty of enjoyment out of the lake as well through shore fishing, picnics, and water toys for the kids.
This small theater plays host to great entertainment throughout the year and has an interesting history. If you enjoy fine art exhibitions or live music, you can find it at the Thrasher Opera House.
Just outside of Green Lake is the Vines and Rushes Winery. This destination provides a great experience for wine lovers and a romantic evening for couples.
They not only offer delicious wines but also live music and great food. It’s an experience that shouldn’t be missed.
Considering the number of travelers will help you in deciding how you want to travel as well as which activities you want to enjoy.
If you are traveling with children, consider kid-friendly entertainment and appropriate accommodations. In contrast, traveling with a large group of adults requires more versatile options to ensure everyone enjoys themselves.
If the idea of solo travel is concerning you, fear not, as many seasoned travelers agree this can be the best way to experience a destination. Consider the benefits of complete schedule freedom: go where you want, when you want, and how you want. That’s difficult to beat.
Once you have figured out what you want to do while visiting Wisconsin (and who will be joining you), it’s time to figure out how you want to travel and how to start saving. Since concerns and stress revolving around budget is the top reason that prevents people from traveling, it’s important to be aware of your financial limitations while planning your trip.
Start by adding up your base expenses: airfare, accommodations, transportation, and meals. This also means deciding how you want to travel. Do you want to fly first-class or coach? Do you want to eat out for every meal or cook?
Once you determine your base costs with these questions in mind, you can add in any extras like activities and events based on what you are able to save.
While budgeting, it’s essential to set specific goals for saving in the time leading up to your trip. Whether you save $5 per day or $200 per month, sticking to a schedule will ensure you reach these goals. However, be realistic and don’t try to save more than is feasible.
If you are working with a tighter budget, consider money-saving options such as traveling in the autumn or winter when costs will be lower. These seasons bring fewer tourists, but still offer plenty of great activities to enjoy. Also, don’t overlook no-cost attractions and outdoor adventures.
One of the top options for larger groups and/or longer stays in the Green Lake area is Adeline’s House of Cool. Adeline’s is an attraction in and of itself with our cozy guest rooms, common rooms, and grounds.
We are also incredibly versatile in that we are able to accommodate groups of up to 12 people, are pet friendly, and offer weekly rates as needed. We also have a long list of great amenities including an indoor hot tub, pool table, antique slot machines, and a full kitchen available to you and your companions.
Airfare is one of, if not the largest expenses of any trip. Take the time to compare prices on different sites as well as set alerts so you don’t miss out on a great deal.
Timing also plays a huge role in saving when it comes to airfare. If you are coming to Wisconsin from abroad, seasoned travelers recommend booking your flight between 3-5 months in advance. If you are traveling domestically, this changes to 2-3 months in advance depending on the season.
If you have some flexibility with your schedule, try to fly on a weekday and do your best to avoid weekend flights.
If you’ve followed the above steps, you should be familiar with what the beautiful state of Wisconsin has to offer you and your travel companions. You should also feel empowered to make intelligent decisions about your travel arrangements based on your time frame and budget.
