Winter Fun in Kenosha

Wisconsin winters are a great time to get outdoors and embrace the fresh, crisp air. From solo activities to family fun, there is an adventure beyond the expected in Southeastern Wisconsin.

Hit the slopes at Wilmot Mountain. Enjoy skiing, snowboarding, and snow tubing. Families will appreciate the people mover conveyor that brings everyone back to the top of the tubing hill with ease. The ski hills range in skill level, and lessons are available on site.

Enjoy FREE ice skating at Veterans Memorial Park. The City of Kenosha sponsors a free rink, with free skates available to borrow. You can hop aboard an authentic electric streetcar for a ride along the lakefront or stroll through the nearby Sculpture Walk.

Visit one of the many parks with your favorite sled, toboggan, or saucer to cruise down a local hill. Several parks also have cross-country skiing and snowshoeing trails. Pringle Nature Center even has snowshoe rentals available.

  • Make friends with a T-Rex at the Dinosaur Discovery Museum
  • “Seeing the Elephant” is a 360-degree movie experience at the Civil War Museum
