Thrill Ride
Mars Cheese Castle
Okay, it may not actually be a castle made of cheese, but it is a building built as a shrine to one of Wisconsin’s most famous staples. Even with an astounding 700 varieties of cheese, at Mars Cheese Castle, cheese is just the beginning. Inside you’ll find a wide selection of sausages, deli items, original baked goods, and more. There’s even a restaurant and bar serving up Wisconsin favorites. And don’t forget to stop by the gift shop area for a decidedly cheesy souvenir. Oh, and if you’re wondering about our state’s second most famous staple, you can also grab a six pack from one of over a hundred breweries.
Experience Farms
In addition to finding your own farm fresh favorites, our family-friendly farms are also filled with fun. From bouncy bounce pillows to amazing mazes and more, whether you come to pick or play, you’re sure to have a fantastic time at our fabulous farms.
Bristol Renaissance Faire
Believe it or not, the number one renaissance faire in the U.S. takes place just a few minutes southwest of us. Every summer, this 30-acre venue transforms into Bristol, England just as it was in the late 1500’s. Leave modern day stresses behind and experience era-accurate comedy acts, acrobats, daredevils, puppeteers, belly dancers, magicians, music, games, food, beer, artisan vendors, and more.
Six Flags Great America
Six Flags Great America is the Midwest’s destination for thrilling rides, exhilarating arcade games, and just all-around family fun. At less than a 20-minute drive from Pleasant Prairie, Six Flags Great America is a perfect excursion if you’re looking for things to do with kids. Or even if you’re a bit of a kid yourself.
Prairie Springs Park
Even though Prairie Springs Park is a park, it’s also a gem. And not a hidden one. This sprawling 930-acre public park features the 110-acre Lake Andrea, a 2.3 mile asphalt walking/jogging trail, nature trails, two playgrounds, sand volleyball pits, softball fields, archery ranges, swimming, windsurfing, fishing (even in winter), and boating. Plus, it’s also home to a beautiful Beer Garden and the popular Pleasant Prairie Harbor Market.
