Located at the Edge of Relaxation and Adventure

Each year more than 35,000 theater lovers enjoy a cozy night of comedy and musical theater under the stars at the Northern Sky Amphitheater. Music, dance and outrageous comedy is the reason visitors and locals alike keep coming back to enjoy uproarious performances year after year. While the theater is open year-round, it’s the summer season — which runs June-August — that is the hot ticket. Set under the stars in Peninsula State Park, the theater combines unmatched natural beauty with lively performances.

Down for real outdoor adventure? A true hiker’s paradise, thanks to its miles of trails, observation tower with spectacular views and breathtaking scenery. The park is nearly 4,000-acres and spans seven miles of Lake Michigan’s Green Bay shoreline with rocky bluffs ascending more than 150 feet for picture-perfect views. Hiking and biking are warm-weather musts. Or, rent a boat to better admire picturesque area. As the temps dip, trade your swim trunks for cross-country skis or snowshoes to enjoy the natural splendor of a Door County winter.

Stop by Wilson’s for an old-fashioned sweet treat! This throwback, old-school ice cream parlor is a classic Door County landmark. You’ll have a “Back to the Future” moment when you spy the old-fashioned soda fountain, vintage ice cream specialties, home-brewed draft root beer and flame-broiled burgers. Once the kids fall into a sugar coma, the adults can sip a glass of wine or a cold beer at the nearby Old Post Office Restaurant.

Looking for an experience that will please everyone in your group? Ding ding! You can explore quaint villages from your seat on the unique Door County Trolley, a popular group activity with 12 tours to choose from. At the new trolley station, grab a drink and bite to eat (both allowed on board) and begin your journey. Popular tours include the WIne, Spirits & Brew Tour, Haunted Pub Crawl, Narrated Scenic Tour, Bloody Mary & Brunch Tour and more. After your tour, reflect on the day as you stretch your legs with a game at Red Putter Mini Golf to see who has the best ‘put put’ in your crew.

Once darkness falls, visitors and “townies” alike jump in the car and head to the Skyway Drive-In Theater, which has been projecting Hollywood’s hottest cinema since 1950. In fact, movies have lit up the screen every summer since its opening — making it the longest continuously running drive-in in Wisconsin. The theater is open weekends in May, September and October and operates nightly June through Labor Day, with movies lighting up the night at dusk.
