51 Best and Fun Things To Do In Kenosha Wisconsin


TouristWire Editors

Are you in search of an ideal destination to visit or reside? Or perhaps a smaller town with abundant outdoor activities? If you answered affirmatively to either inquiry, then Kenosha could be the ideal place for you!

The city itself is located on Lake Michigan and there are several nearby lakes and rivers that offer excellent opportunities for fishing, boating, kayaking, and canoeing. The city has a couple of golf courses and a few parks that are great for hiking or biking. If you love dogs, there’s no shortage of dog-friendly activities either. There are even some breweries within the city limits that make up for its lack of an overall craft beer scene.

The city doesn’t have many tourist attractions but it offers plenty of things to do if you live here or visit often enough. Here are some fun things to do in Kenosha
