Why Visit Green Bay?

A community-owned football franchise in the smallest market in American pro sports, a peninsula of lighthouses and cherry orchards, and a municipal amusement park where rides still cost a quarter

Lambeau Field and the Green Bay Packers -- the Oldest Continuously Operating Stadium in the NFL, a Team Owned by 500,000 Shareholders Who Can Never Sell It, and the Only Community-Owned Franchise in American Major League Sports

81,441 Seats in a City of 107,000, a Season Ticket Waiting List Exceeding 130,000 Names With an Estimated Wait Measured in Decades, Year-Round Stadium Tours and a Hall of Fame in the Atrium, and the Frozen Tundra Where the 1967 Ice Bowl Was Played at Minus 13 Degrees

Lambeau Field (1265 Lombardi Avenue, Green Bay; opened September 29, 1957 as City Stadium, renamed in 1965 for founder Curly Lambeau; capacity 81,441 after successive expansions; the oldest continuously operating stadium in the National Football League) is the reason most visitors come to Green Bay, and the arrangement behind it is genuinely unlike anything else in American professional sports. The Green Bay Packers are a publicly owned nonprofit corporation. Roughly 540,000 people hold about 5.2 million shares, issued in six stock sales since 1923. The shares pay no dividend, cannot appreciate, cannot be resold except back to the team for a fraction of the purchase price, and confer no meaningful economic benefit — they confer a vote for the board of directors and the right to say you own part of the Packers. The corporate bylaws cap any individual's holdings and specify that if the team were ever sold, proceeds would go to charity, which structurally prevents relocation. The NFL has since prohibited this ownership model for any other franchise; the Packers were grandfathered. This is why the smallest market in American major professional sports — Green Bay's metro population is roughly 330,000 — has kept a team since 1919. What visitors can do: (1) stadium tours (multiple daily year-round, roughly $20-25, covering the field level, a suite, the press box, and the player tunnel; Champions and Legendary tours go further); (2) the Green Bay Packers Hall of Fame (in the Lambeau Field Atrium, admission approximately $15, covering the franchise from its 1919 founding through 13 championships including four Super Bowls, with the Lombardi trophies on display); (3) the Atrium itself (free to enter — it holds the Pro Shop, restaurants, and the Hall of Fame entrance, and is open year-round); and (4) Titletown (a 45-acre development immediately west of the stadium with a public plaza, a tubing hill and skating rink in winter, a full-size football field, and restaurants).

The Ice Bowl, the Lambeau Leap, and Why Packers Fans Are Called Cheeseheads

Three pieces of Packers folklore explain a great deal about the culture a visitor encounters. The Ice Bowl: the 1967 NFL Championship Game, played at Lambeau Field on December 31, 1967, against the Dallas Cowboys, with an air temperature of minus 13 degrees Fahrenheit and a wind chill estimated near minus 48. The stadium's underground heating system failed, turning the field to ice. Referees could not use their whistles because the metal froze to their lips. A halftime performer's instruments cracked, and an elderly spectator died of exposure. With 16 seconds left and no timeouts, on third down at the Dallas one-foot line, Bart Starr called a quarterback sneak behind a block by guard Jerry Kramer and scored, winning 21-17. It is generally considered the coldest game in NFL history and remains the defining Packers memory. The Lambeau Leap: on December 26, 1993, safety LeRoy Butler scored on a lateral and jumped into the arms of fans in the south end zone stands. The gesture became a permanent Packers touchdown celebration and is now specifically exempted from the NFL's rules against excessive celebration. Cheeseheads: the foam wedge hat originated in 1987 when Ralph Bruno, a Milwaukee man, carved a piece of his mother's couch foam into a wedge of cheese and wore it to a Brewers game. 'Cheesehead' had been used as an insult by Illinois fans toward Wisconsinites; Wisconsin fans adopted it deliberately. The hats are now manufactured in St. Francis, Wisconsin and are the most recognizable fan apparel in American sports. Practical note for travelers: on the eight or nine Packers home Sundays each season, Green Bay hotel rates multiply several times over, minimum-night stays are imposed, and rental cars and GRB airfares climb sharply. Check the schedule before booking any autumn or winter trip.

Door County -- a 70-Mile Peninsula Between Green Bay and Lake Michigan With 300 Miles of Shoreline, Five State Parks, 11 Historic Lighthouses, and the Cherry Orchards That Make It the Midwest's Answer to Cape Cod

The Peninsula Beginning 40 Minutes Northeast of Green Bay, Holding Fish Creek and Ephraim and Sister Bay and Bailey's Harbor, Where the Signature Meal Is a Fish Boil Detonated With Kerosene and the Signature Ferry Runs to Washington Island Across a Strait the French Named Death's Door

Door County (the peninsula extending roughly 70 miles northeast from Green Bay, separating Green Bay from Lake Michigan; the county seat is Sturgeon Bay, about 45 minutes from the city; roughly 300 miles of shoreline, more than any other US county; year-round population about 30,000, rising several times over in summer) is northeastern Wisconsin's principal vacation region and the reason many Green Bay visitors extend their trip. The peninsula's structure: the western Green Bay side has the dramatic Niagara Escarpment bluffs, deeper water, and sunsets over the bay, and holds the villages of Egg Harbor, Fish Creek, Ephraim, and Sister Bay; the eastern Lake Michigan side is flatter with sand and cobble beaches and the towns of Jacksonport and Bailey's Harbor; Sturgeon Bay at the base holds the shipyards and the ship canal. The five state parks are the county's core: Peninsula State Park (3,776 acres near Fish Creek — the most-visited, with the Eagle Bluff Lighthouse, the Eagle Tower observation platform, 20 miles of trail, and a golf course), Newport State Park (Wisconsin's only designated wilderness park and an International Dark Sky Park, with no electric lighting and 11 miles of Lake Michigan shoreline), Whitefish Dunes (the largest sand dunes on the Wisconsin side of Lake Michigan, with the Cave Point County Park sea caves adjacent), Potawatomi, and Rock Island (reachable only by two consecutive ferries, with no vehicles permitted). Food and drink: the fish boil is the peninsula's signature — whitefish, potatoes, and onions boiled in a cauldron over an open fire, with kerosene thrown on the flames at the end to create a 'boilover' that flares several feet high and carries off the fish oils; the White Gull Inn in Fish Creek and the Old Post Office in Ephraim are the classic venues, and reservations are essential. Cherries: Door County's orchards, planted in the late 19th century in the peninsula's limestone-derived soils and lake-moderated climate, produce Montmorency tart cherries; the July harvest supports pick-your-own farms, cherry pie everywhere, and a substantial jam-and-wine industry. Al Johnson's Swedish Restaurant in Sister Bay has goats grazing on its sod roof, which is exactly as much of a tourist attraction as it sounds.

Death's Door -- the Strait That Named the County, the Shipwrecks Beneath It, and Washington Island's Icelandic Community

The county's name comes from the strait at the tip of the peninsula: Porte des Morts, 'Door of the Dead' or Death's Door, the roughly six-mile passage between the mainland tip and Washington Island. The strait is genuinely dangerous — it connects Green Bay to Lake Michigan, and the two bodies of water have different current and wind regimes, so the passage produces confused seas, sudden squalls, strong cross-currents, and shoals close to the surface. Estimates of shipwrecks in and around the strait run to several hundred, and Door County waters as a whole hold more than 275 documented wrecks, many of them shallow enough to dive or even see from the surface; the Wisconsin Shipwreck Coast National Marine Sanctuary, designated in 2021, protects a stretch of this coastline. The name's origin is attributed to a Potawatomi account, recorded by French explorers, of a war party lost in the passage. Washington Island, on the far side, is reachable by the Washington Island Ferry from Northport at the peninsula's tip — a 30-minute crossing that runs year-round, including through winter ice with the aid of an icebreaker. The island has roughly 700 year-round residents and holds one of the oldest Icelandic settlements in the United States, founded in the 1870s; Icelandic surnames, a Stavkirke (a hand-built replica of a Norwegian stave church), and the annual Scandinavian festival reflect that heritage. The island also holds Schoolhouse Beach, one of very few beaches in the world made entirely of smooth white limestone cobbles rather than sand — removing a stone carries a fine. From Washington Island, a second small ferry runs to Rock Island State Park, where no vehicles of any kind are permitted and the only structures are a boathouse built by an Icelandic-American inventor in the 1920s and the Pottawatomie Lighthouse, the oldest light station in Wisconsin.

The National Railroad Museum -- One of the Oldest and Largest Rail Museums in the United States, Holding Eisenhower's WWII Command Train and the Union Pacific Big Boy, the Largest Steam Locomotive Ever Built

33 Acres and More Than 70 Locomotives and Cars Under Cover and Outdoors, Including Big Boy 4017 at 1.2 Million Pounds and 132 Feet Long, the Dwight D. Eisenhower A4 Locomotive Named for the General, and the Actual Rail Cars Eisenhower and Churchill Used Planning the Normandy Invasion

The National Railroad Museum (2285 South Broadway, Green Bay; founded 1956; 33 acres with a large indoor exhibit hall and extensive outdoor display track; admission approximately $15-18 adult; open daily, with train rides operating seasonally) is one of the oldest institutions of its kind in the country and holds a collection whose highlights are genuinely difficult to see anywhere else. The centerpieces: (1) Union Pacific Big Boy 4017 — one of only eight surviving examples of the largest steam locomotives ever built. The Big Boy class, built by ALCO between 1941 and 1944 for hauling freight over the Wasatch Range, measures roughly 132 feet with tender, weighs about 1.2 million pounds, and used a 4-8-8-4 articulated wheel arrangement with two sets of driving wheels under a single enormous boiler. Standing next to one reorganizes your sense of scale. (2) The Dwight D. Eisenhower — a British LNER Class A4 streamlined locomotive, a sister engine to Mallard, which holds the world speed record for steam at 126 miles per hour; it was renamed for Eisenhower and presented to the United States, and is displayed with (3) the General Dwight D. Eisenhower command train — the actual armored rail cars used by Eisenhower as a mobile headquarters in Britain during the planning of Operation Overlord, which Winston Churchill also used; visitors can walk through them. The museum also holds a large collection of American steam and diesel locomotives, passenger cars, cabooses, and a substantial archive, and operates a 25-minute train ride around the grounds behind a vintage locomotive during the warm months. Its 'Festival of Trains' in December and Thomas the Tank Engine events draw families regionally.

Green Bay's Other History -- Wisconsin's Oldest European Settlement, the Fur Trade at the Mouth of the Fox River, and Paper Mills That Made It the 'Toilet Paper Capital of the World'

Green Bay is the oldest permanent European settlement in Wisconsin. Jean Nicolet, sent west by Samuel de Champlain, landed near the mouth of the Fox River in 1634 — reportedly wearing a Chinese damask robe, because he believed he might be arriving in Asia. A permanent French trading presence developed through the late 17th century, and the location's value was geographic: the Fox River leads southwest to a short portage at present-day Portage, Wisconsin, connecting to the Wisconsin River and thence to the Mississippi. The Fox-Wisconsin waterway was one of the two principal canoe routes between the Great Lakes and the Mississippi system, which made the mouth of the Fox a strategic point in the French, then British, then American fur trade. The Heritage Hill State Historical Park (2640 South Webster Avenue — a 56-acre outdoor museum with roughly 25 relocated historic buildings interpreting Green Bay from the fur trade era through the early 20th century, with costumed interpreters, open seasonally) covers this period. The industrial era that followed was built on paper: the lower Fox River between Lake Winnebago and Green Bay drops about 170 feet in 39 miles, and that water power, combined with northern Wisconsin's forests, produced one of the densest concentrations of paper mills in the world. Green Bay and the Fox Valley became a global center of tissue and sanitary paper production — Northern Paper Mills in Green Bay was among the largest producers of toilet paper anywhere, and Kimberly-Clark, founded in nearby Neenah in 1872, invented Kleenex and Kotex. The industry remains significant, though much reduced. The legacy is also environmental: PCBs discharged into the lower Fox River by carbonless-copy-paper production between the 1950s and 1970s produced one of the largest and most expensive Superfund sediment remediation projects in the United States, a dredging and capping effort that ran for well over a decade and cost more than a billion dollars.

Bay Beach, the Wildlife Sanctuary, and Green Bay's Waterfront -- a Municipal Amusement Park Where Most Rides Cost a Quarter, the Largest Urban Wildlife Refuge in Wisconsin, and the Zippin Pippin Roller Coaster Elvis Presley Rode

A City-Owned Amusement Park Charging 25 Cents to a Dollar Per Ride With No Admission Fee at All, the Wooden Coaster Bought From Memphis Because It Was Elvis Presley's Favorite Ride, and a Free 700-Acre Wildlife Sanctuary Next Door With Rehabilitated Owls Eagles and Wolves

Bay Beach Amusement Park (1313 Bay Beach Road, on the shore of Green Bay; owned and operated by the City of Green Bay; free admission and free parking; ride tickets cost 25 cents each with most rides taking one or two tickets; open daily in summer and weekends in the shoulder seasons) is an unusual survival: a genuinely municipal amusement park, operated as a public service rather than a business, with pricing that has barely changed in decades. It has roughly 20 rides including a Ferris wheel, bumper cars, a scrambler, a carousel, and a miniature railway, and it draws well over a million visits a year. Its signature attraction is the Zippin Pippin, a wooden roller coaster with a specific provenance: the original stood at Libertyland in Memphis and was Elvis Presley's favorite ride — he reportedly rented the park to ride it repeatedly, including in the early hours of August 8, 1977, about a week before he died. When Libertyland closed, Green Bay bought the rights and design and rebuilt the coaster at Bay Beach, opening in 2011. Immediately adjacent is the Bay Beach Wildlife Sanctuary (1660 East Shore Drive; free admission; roughly 700 acres, the largest urban wildlife refuge in Wisconsin), a combination of rehabilitation facility, education center, and public park: it holds permanent resident animals that cannot be released — bald eagles, owls, hawks, foxes, otters, timber wolves, and deer — plus a wildlife rehabilitation program treating thousands of injured animals a year, six miles of trails through wetland and woods, and large populations of migratory waterfowl using the Green Bay shoreline. Both sites are free or nearly free, which makes them the default recommendation for anyone traveling with children on a budget. The city's broader waterfront includes the CityDeck along the Fox River downtown, the Green Bay Botanical Garden, and Leicht Memorial Park.

Green Bay Weather, the Lake Effect, and What Winter Actually Requires

Green Bay has a humid continental climate with genuinely severe winters, and visitors from milder regions routinely underestimate it. Average January highs are in the low 20s Fahrenheit with lows near 8, and stretches below zero are normal. Seasonal snowfall averages roughly 50 inches. The bay itself typically freezes over, which produces an active ice-fishing culture — shanty villages appear on the bay, and the sturgeon spearing season on nearby Lake Winnebago in February is a distinctive regional event with a strictly enforced harvest cap. Lake Michigan moderates temperatures somewhat near the shore and generates lake-effect snow bands, though Green Bay gets less of this than the Michigan side of the lake. What this means practically: a December or January Packers game is a serious cold-weather undertaking, not a novelty. Layers, insulated waterproof boots, a hat that covers the ears, and hand warmers are not optional at Lambeau in winter, and the metal bench seating conducts cold straight through inadequate clothing — regulars bring seat cushions. Flight delays and cancellations at GRB from snow and de-icing are common in winter; build slack into connections. The reward is that summer and early fall in northeastern Wisconsin are excellent — July and August highs in the upper 70s to low 80s, long daylight, warm enough for Door County beaches, and September and October bring reliable fall color on the peninsula with far smaller crowds than midsummer.

How to Find Cheap Flights to Green Bay WI

Check the Packers Home Schedule First -- Game Weekends Reprice the Entire Region

On the eight or nine Packers home Sundays each season, Green Bay hotel rates multiply several times over, minimum-night stays are imposed, rental cars sell out, and GRB airfares climb sharply. The effect reaches Appleton, Oshkosh, and even Milwaukee. The schedule is released each spring. Check it before booking any trip between September and January, whether or not you are going for football.

Appleton (ATW) and Milwaukee (MKE) Are Real Alternatives

Appleton International (ATW) is 30 miles south of Green Bay and often prices differently for the same connecting hubs — always check both. Milwaukee Mitchell (MKE) is 120 miles south, roughly two hours down I-43, with substantially more service and frequently much lower fares, including Southwest. If you need a rental car anyway, MKE plus the drive is often the cheaper total, particularly on Packers weekends when GRB fares spike.

Allegiant's Winter Nonstops Are the Cheapest Way Out of Wisconsin

Allegiant flies nonstop from Green Bay to Orlando Sanford, Punta Gorda, St. Pete-Clearwater, Fort Myers, Las Vegas, and Phoenix-Mesa, and between November and April these are usually unbeatable on price. But the base fare excludes carry-ons, checked bags, and seat selection, flights operate only two to four days a week, and the destinations are secondary airports. Total the fees before comparing against Delta or United.

Door County Peaks in July and August -- Go in September for Better Value

Door County's summer season fills lodging from late June through August, and cherry harvest in July brings its own surge. September and early October give you mild weather, fall color on the peninsula, working orchards and wineries, and far smaller crowds at meaningfully lower rates. Fish boil restaurants still require reservations. Many smaller shops and some restaurants close entirely from November through April.

Airlines Flying to Green Bay (GRB)

Delta Air Lines

MSP, DTW, and ATL Hub Connections to GRB -- Delta's Upper Midwest, Great Lakes, and Southeast Network Into Green Bay

Delta Air Lines is the most established carrier at Austin Straubel International Airport (GRB), serving Green Bay from Minneapolis-Saint Paul (MSP), Detroit (DTW), and Atlanta (ATL). MSP-GRB is the shortest and most frequent — barely 50 minutes in the air — and functions as the region's principal connection to the West and to Delta's Upper Midwest network. DTW-GRB feeds Delta's transatlantic bank at Detroit, and ATL-GRB opens the Southeast and Delta's global system. Delta Connection regional partners including SkyWest and Endeavor operate GRB service on CRJ-200, CRJ-700, and CRJ-900 equipment. Packers home game weekends draw enough traffic that Delta sometimes upgauges the Minneapolis and Detroit routes.

Key Routes

MSP to GRB (50m nonstop; DTW to GRB (1h 15m nonstop; ATL to GRB (2h 10m nonstop; JFK to GRB (via DTW or MSP; BOS to GRB (via DTW or ATL; LAX to GRB (via MSP, DTW, or ATL; SEA to GRB (via MSP or DTW; Amsterdam to GRB (via DTW

American Airlines

ORD, DFW, and CLT Hub Connections to GRB -- American's Chicago, Texas, and Southeast Network to Northeastern Wisconsin

American Airlines connects Green Bay (GRB) through Chicago O'Hare (ORD), Dallas/Fort Worth (DFW), and Charlotte (CLT). ORD-GRB is a short hop of well under an hour that exists mostly to feed O'Hare's domestic and international banks — for point-to-point Chicago travel, the roughly three-hour drive down US-41 and I-43 usually wins. DFW-GRB gives Texas and the Southwest a nonstop, and CLT-GRB serves the Southeast and much of the East Coast. American Eagle regional affiliates including Envoy Air and SkyWest fly the GRB routes on CRJ-700 and E175 aircraft.

Key Routes

ORD to GRB (55m nonstop; DFW to GRB (2h 25m nonstop; CLT to GRB (2h nonstop; LGA to GRB (via ORD or CLT; PHL to GRB (via ORD or CLT; MIA to GRB (via CLT or DFW; PHX to GRB (via DFW or ORD; LAX to GRB (via DFW or ORD

United Airlines

ORD and DEN Hub Connections to GRB -- United's Chicago and Rocky Mountain Access to Green Bay

United Airlines serves Green Bay (GRB) from Chicago O'Hare (ORD) and Denver (DEN). The DEN-GRB nonstop is the more valuable of the two for most travelers, giving the Mountain West, the Southwest, and the West Coast a single-stop path into northeastern Wisconsin. ORD-GRB is a short connection feeder into O'Hare. United Express partners including SkyWest and Air Wisconsin — the latter headquartered in Appleton, 30 miles south of Green Bay — operate GRB service on CRJ-200, CRJ-550, and E175 regional jets. United's frequencies at GRB are modest, so if your dates are fixed, check Delta's Minneapolis routing as well.

Key Routes

ORD to GRB (55m nonstop; DEN to GRB (2h 5m nonstop; EWR to GRB (via ORD; SFO to GRB (via ORD or DEN; LAX to GRB (via ORD or DEN; IAH to GRB (via ORD or DEN; London Heathrow to GRB (via ORD or EWR

Allegiant Air

Nonstop Leisure Routes From GRB to Florida, Las Vegas, and Phoenix-Mesa -- the Ultra-Low-Cost Escape From a Wisconsin Winter

Allegiant Air operates seasonal nonstop service from Green Bay (GRB) to warm-weather destinations, typically including Orlando Sanford (SFB), Punta Gorda (PGD), St. Pete-Clearwater (PIE), Fort Myers (RSW), Las Vegas (LAS), and Phoenix-Mesa (AZA). For northeastern Wisconsin travelers heading south between November and April these are usually the cheapest fares available from GRB by a wide margin, and they are the only nonstops from the airport that are not hub feeders. The tradeoffs are the familiar ultra-low-cost ones: base fares exclude carry-on and checked bags and seat selection, flights run two to four days a week rather than daily, and the destinations are secondary airports. Add all fees before comparing.

Key Routes

SFB (Orlando Sanford) nonstop; PGD (Punta Gorda) nonstop; PIE (St. Pete-Clearwater) nonstop; RSW (Fort Myers) nonstop; LAS (Las Vegas) nonstop; AZA (Phoenix-Mesa) nonstop; routes are seasonal and operate 2-4 days per week -- check Allegiant.com for the current GRB schedule
